Health Care for Kids Defeated

Alright! Republicans around the country must be dancing in the streets!

They managed to get a bunch of sick kids booted from our health care system. Way to go! Yes! They must be so excited, thinking about all the sick kids that have been left out in the cold. Why, I bet it brings a smile to their face as they head to church on Sunday.

Now they can continue to spend billions of dollars on an occupation in Iraq because that's more important and a totally acceptable way to spend our nation's money. (Not.)

Meanwhile, all rational human beings, nay all moral human beings, are sickened by the actions of this administration.

Update: If this veto stands, it blocks health care for 10 million children! And, this means that children with preventable diseases will die since they no longer have access to this health care. Unbelievable!

2nd Update: On Wednesday, President Bush was asked why he vetoed the CHIP legislation that would provide health care to almost ten million children. His response: "to ensure that I am relevant". Despicable. Apparently Bush needing to feel relevant is more important than health care of children.
