Once again, this administration and its legislative minority cult of followers has found it important to play politics with other people's lives. I found it disgusting enough when top republicans admitted to not voting for withdraw from the war in Iraq in order to pander to their base until after the primaries. This, however, sets a new low for the party.
The SCHIP program that gives health insurance to millions of uninsured low-income children across the nation is up for renewal. Bush has expressed his views that if the planned expansion passed the congress, he will veto it. This being said, it probably won't even come to that point. This MVF (Most Likely to Fillibuster) Republican minority will probably even block it from coming to an up or down vote. They will do this because their leader has expressed his views and they will follow blindly, knowing that we won't have the 60 votes needed to bring it to vote.
Millions of children are going to be without insurance and will likely die because the decider has spoken. If only there were concrete ways to tally the hundreds of thousands of lives that have been lost to this toddler of an administration or the millions displaced and economically crippled.
One question mister president, mister conservative congressman, mister lobbyist, or mister defense contractor; "How the FUCK do you sleep at night?" All that dirty money must make for a hell of a pillow.
Post to you later. Read a book, read the news, speak out, write the people responsible, and maintain constant vigilance.
