Kids And Policy

The president has vetoed the SCHIP and the Congress cannot override. Congress will send another bill that the president will veto and the Congress will not override. And the cycle continues.

The Dems used a child to taunt the Repubs on the bill. Of course, they jumped all over this and condemned the dems for using a child to sell their message. But come on, asshats! That is what politicians do. The Repubs, most namely the president, uses children all the time, whether it was "no child left behind" or whatever he is trying to sell as rule.

The most famous child being used as a political statement was the 1964 Johson ad which shows a little girl pulling petals off of a daisy and then it morphs into a atomic blast. All used to say that if we elected Goldwater that would be our future.

So the Dems did nothing that the Repubs have not already done, but to fake some outrage is just ignorant. But then, ignorance sells the American people on the bullsh*t that politicians are pushing. The American voter suffers from LBS, Lazy Brain syndrome. Read a book and call me in the morning.
