Is GW really a Republican?

Now GW gets "fiscally conservative"-- but I think he's again cutting the throats of the Republican Party...What a campaign issue- especially after he's shown the $Billions he's just thrown away over the last 7 years....
Too late- and wrong time to look like a true conservative....Again- just like the amnesty bill- going against 70-80% of the voting public :shock:

You registered Repubs-- are you sure GW is really a Republican :???: Or just a plant to destroy it :???:

President Vetoes Children's Health Insurance Bill
Wednesday, October 03, 2007


WASHINGTON — President Bush on Wednesday vetoed a five-year, $35 billion expansion of the current State Children's Health Insurance Program, arguing the new program offers government-run health care to too many Americans who don't need it.

Democrats are confident they have a winning issue and are working hard to find enough votes in the House to override the veto. The Senate already has enough votes to override.

"Today the president showed the nation his true priorities: $700 billion for a war in Iraq, but no health care for low-income kids; $50 billion in subsidies for huge oil companies; but no health care for low-income kids; $8 billion lost to waste, fraud, abuse, and no-bid contracts in Iraq, but no health care for low-income kids," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.

"Millions of American children and their families won't forget that they are on the bottom of the president's priority list," Emanuel said.

Family health care coverage can cost more than $1,000 a month, and Democrats say they have the public on their side.

"Once again, the Democratic Party are aligned with 70 percent of the public," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday.

GW doesn't care about Rep's and he didn't care much to start with!!!


He's on the down-hill slide now....he's got nothing to loose. All big business buddies are entrenched and all he has to do after he's out of office is just count the money rolling in.

Yep-- not the issue to take a "conservative" stand on now- after years of throwing money everywhere...Roves gone- so I wonder who Bush's Brain is now, giving him all this good advice....

And I was right-- already heard two ads on the radio- slamming GW and the Repubs for not caring for kids...Must have just had them waiting to use...One was a Baucus reelection one and the other was a Montana Democratic Party one-- and this is an important issue in this state, since Montana is one of the states with so many qualifying kids that weren't able to get coverage because of lack of funding....

(I don't even know why Baucus is spending money campaigning as the only person the Repubs have been able to find to run against him was all but thrown out of the Republican Party at the end of the state legislature-- and last week almost sent the Hawks spinning by coming out supporting getting out of Iraq right away :shock: :wink: )

A substantial minority of adults in the U.S. are unsure whether they want to see the program expanded, but those who favor expanding SCHIP outnumber opponents by a four-to-one margin (53% vs. 13%), according to The Wall Street Journal Online/Harris Interactive poll, conducted Aug. 16 to 20.

Fifty-eight percent of U.S. adults, including half of all Republicans, agree that expanding the program is a good idea, since it has been successful in reducing the number of uninsured children in the country. Only 13% disagree, the poll shows.

A separate poll released today by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found nine in 10 registered voters (86%) surveyed Aug. 4 to 7 said they would support reauthorizing SCHIP, and 63% said they would support expanding SCHIP's budget by an additional $35 billion.

Of course he is a Republican....he has the R behind his name and everything. But he's never been conservative. He doesn't want healthy kids cause Haliburton doesn't do kid health care.

If someone would license children's health clinics, give Haliburton a non-bid contract to run them, then there would be billions of money available.

this FEDERAL Kids care is an innefficient ay to care for kids. In Kansas and Nebraska all kids are offered free insurance or very cheap if the parents make over 50k. This bill was an election year stunt and now the liars can all crow that Republicans hate kids. that's what liars do - bfd.

The funny thing is, Bush is the kind of whore that would spend the money to deflate the issue see no child left behind.

Bush did more for my kids by proposing an option to SS fraud than all the socialists put togather.

The whole Haliburton defamation upsets me. Just because Dick Cheney has ties to Haliburton, the company gets a bad rap.

Haliburton is a GOOD company. I've been around Haliburton
since I was a little kid. Just talk to a Haliburton employee and
they will tell you about Haliburton.

Haliburton was one of the only companies that could handle being
in Iraq. It is an AMERICAN company. An OLD company...

Faster Horses,

Please don't expect issues like the truth to slow down a leftist smear. Hell yes Haliburton does things nobody else can, that's why China and about every other country hires them, but the left is stupid or they wouldn't be the left. THerefore they're taken in by the lie.

Brad that might be very possible in those states-- but I know that in Montana many kids that were even in the lowest of the allowances for the CHIPS program were not covered because of lack of funding...I'm not sure what the number was- as all my information came thru talking with the County Health Folks--but now in the ad Baucus is running- he is saying it left 14,000 additional Montana kids without health insurance coverage.....And now that this bill has been vetoed- along with those 14,000 that they never had the funding for- the others that are currently on the program will be without too, if GW doesn't do something....

And it may effect our state more- since we have some of the lowest salaries/incomes in the nation- with the average Mt. salary being a little over $30,000-- and I have neighboring counties (mostly Agricultural based) where that is around $20,000...So a great number of the working folks children qualify around here....

Maybe it isn't happening in Bradsville-- but everywhere I go to all I hear is---"Why in the Hell don't these politicians quit blowing money all over the world-or spending it to make big oil rich-or giving Halliburton and Blackwater UNBID contracts- and spend it on what the folks at home need"....

Ain't saying thats whats happening-- but thats the perception out there and GW's veto just adds fuel to the fire and puts Hillary one more step in the door.....

And the major things I hear mentioned are affordable health care- #1 by a long range (not necessarily government care/insurance), Protection from the foreign invaders that are eating up our taxes thru social costs while raping the values of our country, and some government oversight to make sure we continue to have safe and quality food and imported products- along with an emphasis on supporting local business over GW's current world building theme to give our economy (and country) to China or India or Timbuktu....From there on it goes into the normal complaining about roads, bridges and the usual bitch's....

And I have not seen GW or his cronies make one positive move on any of those...
