these people are retarded.
 

Schip is the first step to a soviet healthcare system. It didnt work for them and it wont work for us. And emocrats have a history of hiding behind people like the 911 widows. They cant argue issues so they get somebody sad to talk about it. Its stupid
 

Schip is a big step toward socialized health care. even the democrats admit it. It isnt even geared to the poor people like this blog says. Its geared toward richer people. Thats more soviet than American.
 

Soviet health care? That's what you come up with?
 

That's so your limited intelligence can barely grasp it, Dave.
 

I think its so they dont have to argue about the topic because theyre position is so weak.
 

Great find with thoese pics! I'd totally forgotten about the Snowflake children! I didn't hear any conservatives complaining then! BUt wouldn't those Snowflake children not exist under Bushs stem cell prohibition?
 

I am not sure what your argument could be against the schip program people are going in debt just so they can give there children the medical care that they need when it comes to health care of this nation we are like a 3rd world country.
by the way RUN GORE RUN! we need a president that gives a damn about the nation not just politics
 

You're kidding, right? Gore care about the nation and not partisanship?
 

Rick Moran wrote about this "smear" of Graeme (I think I'm gonna throw up when I watch the Countdown interview tonight). The only thing the Right questioned was the legitimacy of allowing Graeme Frost to pose as the posterboy for SCHIP, not whether his injuries were real or not...unless, the Left knows something about the Frosts that they don't want the rest of us to find out.

I'm sure you'll disagree with many "progressives" that portrayed Bush's veto of SCHIP expansion as "anti-children," when the thing he objected to was the tax increase and the expansion of the coverage to people who weren't covered previously. It is worth noting that the program has another few weeks to go.

Another issue, if this program was so important, why are Democrats waiting to vote on whether to override the veto or not?
 

Goodness.

As far as Rick Moran's article is concerned...absurd. First, his argument is foolish. He cites the original Free Republic article that got all this started, recognizes that it was factually inaccurate, and then simply accepts its arguments. ?! It was wrong. His article was complaining that this family has so much money available to spend on private schooling, when in fact, they are spending $500 a year. That got left out of the New Republic article that tried to paint them as upper class moochers. Asking for me to accept the intent of that article as a foundation, and then build his article off of that? That strikes me as insane. Secondly, I think this blog was pretty clear when referring to the smear campaign against the Frost family, and not about Graeme in particular. Moran's article is complaining about something other than this blog, as he clearly is complaining about people claiming he is smearing Graeme.

And what legitimacy is there to be questioned about Graeme? His family clearly qualified. What legitimate reason should the Frost family be disqualified? Simply because the right is portraying them as wealthy business owners? The Free Republic article, like many other attacks against the Frost family, provide half-truths in order to make their point:

His children do go to private school that costs $20,000 a year.
The children received scholarships, and the family pays $500 a year.

A home on his street sold for nearly a half million dollars.
The Frost family bought their home twenty years ago for $55,000.

I believe that portraying Bush's veto as "anti-children" is an oversimplification. But I also believe that your portrayal is off. He isn't opposed to expanding it to cover people that weren't previously covered. He's opposed to expanding it to cover children that weren't previously covered. Bush isn't anti-children, he just isn't for insuring more of them.

And the Democrats are waiting to vote on whether or not to override the veto because they are trying to gather enough votes to do so. This is something that every Congress has done since the beginning of our country, so please don't attempt to make it seem like this is some kind of smarmy Democrat thing.
 

The first part of your entry talked about the "smear campaign" against Graeme Frost and how it was absurd for Republicans and conservatives to attack poor innocent Master Frost. You, like many left-leaning bloggers, then smeared the Right for claiming that they attacked Graeme, when they did not. They questioned the legitimacy of his family being the poster-people for SCHIP after the dino-media released their incomes to the rest of the populace.

The only thing the Right is guilty of, in this case, is investigative journalism.
 

Typical right-leaning blogger that doesn't see the truth even though it's staring them in the face. The right DID attack the Frosts, you're just too indoctrinated to realize it. The people who released their "incomes" as you call it were the Freepers, whom obviously know nothing about the law (which isn't really that surprising). It is ILLEGAL to post someone's personal address in a public forum when they are NOT a public figure, which was the case with what the Freepers did. Being the temporary face of a legislative bill does not make one a public figure, therefore it's called Violation of Privacy. I know laws are difficult for you hypocrites to understand, but that's your own faults. You wouldn't know an investigative anything, even if you could think for yourself, which you apparently can't. "Investigative Journalism" would have been if they actually figured out how much his house would be worth today, and I guarantee you that if they had found that information, they would never have commented. Thanks to your buddy Bush, the housing market is in the toilet and houses aren't worth anywhere near as much as they used to be.

Pissed that people can use your own so-called Investigative Journalism against you? Then don't comment about things that you know nothing about in the first place. "Do not judge, lest ye be judged. For the measure upon which you measure will so too be measured upon you." You right-wing nuts are always making yourselves out to be the victims, but you're the first ones to point the finger, and you think that makes the left the ones that are infallible?! Look who's talking. The right did smear them and then people RESPONDED, there's a big difference. If you can't handle that, then you're the ones who believe they're infallible.
