Ill Will: Bush Vetoes Children’s Health Bill

by Mike Hall, Oct 3, 2007

Shunning the wishes of the majority of the public and snubbing members of his own party who support ensuring that millions of America’s children will have access to health care, President Bush today vetoed the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) renewal bill.

Bush refused to listen to many leading Republican lawmakers who joined with nearly every Democrat in the House and Senate who voted to reauthorize the program.

The president ignored the 4 million additional children who would be eligible for health care coverage under the reauthorization—joining the 6.6 million already enrolled.

He disregarded the 81 percent of Democrats, 69 percent of independents and 61 percent of Republicans who told an ABC News-Washington Post poll they support the $35 billion increase in the bill so more children get health coverage.

He vetoed the children’s health bill two days after he declared Oct. 1 as Child Health Day.

9. I've seen critical coverage today of the veto

Remains to be seen what the nightly news does with it

2. My head was spinning Monday when I heard that. Hypocrisy means nothing to

his supporters, nothing at all.

[FREEWILL56]

11. That's because his supporters are like that too.

They love their new found power and money and won't give it up for no child. His new motto should be:
EVERY CHILD LEFT BEHIND!
:banghead: :puke:

3. And all to save money

A man who wastes THREE BILLION DOLLARS A WEEK in Iraq because he doesn't want to admit he's a liar wants to save money by denying health care to children. Is every conservative value a nasty turd?

[Redstone]

4. And this surprises us?

He's done that same shit all along. He's the most cynical son of a bitch we've EVER had in that office.

[Crazy Dave]

20. So you love Bush, you love the war....

...but no love for the wounded veterans that were all drugged up and left to rot in a rat infested shit-hole? Then get discharged only to fill out paperwork for two years to get disability benefits?

Republicans seem to only love the soldiers while they're still capable of killing people :shrug:

18. George Bush hates the little children of the world

George Bush Hates the Little Children.

George Bush calls the children near,
“Come to me in abject fear,
For I hate the little children of the world;
I will take you by the hand,
Lead you to the mideast land,
For I hate the little children of the world.”

Refrain

George Bush hates the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are leeches in His sight,
George Bush hates the little children of the world.

Alternate refrain:

George Bush lied to all the children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are leeches in His sight,
George Bush lied to all the children of the world.

George Bush loves to turn the screw,
And He’s always screwing you,
For He loathes the little children of the world;
He’s the Savior of the strong,
And He’ll always stand for wrong,
For He hates the little children of the world.
