Bush Hates Children and Wants Them All to Die

October 4th, 2007 at 1:12 am by TinyElvis

Yes, that is what the headlines should read.

The way the liberals and media (is that redudant?) are milking this non-issue, one would think President Bush was personally traveling through elementary schools and escorting classrooms full of children into the gas chamber. The irony here is that if he were advocating aborting potentially uninsured children, then he would be lauded as a true compassionate human being and progressive thinker.

President Bush, in a sharp confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children’s health insurance.

See.. occasionally he gets things right. A quick word search of the Constitution reveals nothing about providing medical care for citizens. Bravo!

“Never has it been clearer how detached President Bush is from the priorities of the American people,” Reid said in a statement. “By vetoing a bipartisan bill to renew the successful Children’s Health Insurance Program, President Bush is denying health care to millions of low-income kids in America.”

Attention American people! I have a question for you: is it your priority to see to it that tax-payer funded medical programs include children of illegal alliens or fellow citizens with incomes of upwards of $80,000 per year?

“Poor kids first,” Bush said. “Secondly, I believe in private medicine, not the federal government running the health care system.”

Bam! Two in a row! Junior is on a roll!

The program is a joint state-federal effort that subsidizes health coverage for 6.6 million people, mostly children, from families that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford their own private coverage.

Ladies and gentlemen, I work for myself. I’ve paid for my own insurance for well over 4 years. While it’s not the cheapest monthly bill, it’s certainly not the most expensive. It’s all about priorities and spending wisely. Many of those who do not want to pay to insure themselves are more interested in spending their hard-earned dollars on the “finer things” or they are simply too lazy to do a little homework to find out the actual costs.

And Gerald McEntee, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union, said a coalition of liberal groups was staging more than 200 events throughout the nation on Thursday to highlight the issue. The group, which includes MoveOn.org, and several unions, also has a goal of more than 1 million contacts to Congress through calls, letters and e-mails demanding that lawmakers override Bush’s veto. The coalition is spending $3 million to $5 million on the effort.

They raise $5 million to ensure that the Federal government takes money out of your wallet. How’s that for patriotism!

Why doesn’t this coalition of liberal groups take that wad of money and put it towards actually purchasing medical care for those who truly need it instead of demanding that Congress pick your pocket?

Hmmmm?

    Exactamundo, E-poquito! We live in a nation of mediocre minds, too lazy to understand the concept of “WANT vs. NEED”. I work for a company that offers an HMO plan that is very limited and basic with ample co-pays and deductibles. But, the company I work for offers their employees the option of their own PPO if the employee is willing to pay for it. I am happy to pay for the helthcare that suits me and my daughters best, and that is the PPO option that I pay for out of my own pocket. I choose not to own a 45″ flat-screen plasma TV w/ surround sound, or live in a 3500 sq. ft. abode with a fat, jumbo loan to pay, or drive a “status car”. I choose to live beneath my means, like anyone else can and find that they can afford healthcare and still have plenty of money left to enjoy some of the “finer things”. It’s laughable that these unions and liberal front groups will waste $5 million to promote the entitlement mentality of their useful idiots that think the U.S. Government owes them healthcare.

    I am so tired of hearing about nationalized health care. Health care costs is wildly rampant because the entire industry is focused on keeping people on drugs. I both don’t go to doctors and pay for health care. the health care i pay for doesn’t pay the entire bill, especially dental care (which pays nothing, zero, in my experience) but i know if it becomes national, i will be paying much much more in taxes than i do paying for my own care, by myself, for myself, because i spend enough time and money taking care of myself, i can’t afford to waste it on the drug addicted victims that don’t realize the health care they are receiving is meant to keep them on drugs; meant to keep them receiving perscriptions paid for by me.

    I make twice the national poverty line and can’t even afford a place of my own as it is.

    great points.

    The Republican Party has become the most corrupt, least compassionate and most out of touch political party in the US since Nixon took power.

    They are so out of touch that there is nothing they will be able to do but stand around bewildered while the Democrats take the presidencey as well as more seats in the house and senate. Seriously, unless you all wake up, by next fall you will have no power left.

    Limbaugh-esque blogs like this only magnify the cocky, out of touch sense of reality that “Neo-Conservatives” hold to so dearly. Quit talking down to people and start trying to actually educate people about reality… not one-sided, close-minded, completely biased editorials.

    This editorial is so filled with Neo-Con cliché comments like “How’s that for patriotism!” that I feel bad for using the word “cliché”… I almost forgot, you must hate the French. That seems to be one of the pre-requisites to be an out of touch modern Republican.

    I had voted republican all of my life until Bush Jr ran for office. To all of the Neo-Conservatives I would like to say:

    Thanks for ruining a once great Political Party.
