HERE COMES ANOTHER DECEPTIVE DEMOCRAT TALKING POINT
The New York Times reports today that the Bush Administration wants to raise veterans’ co-payments for prescription drugs to $15 from a ridiculously low $7 and impose an annual enrollment fee of $250. Does anyone doubt that Democrats are going to talk incessantly about these “cuts“? But here’s one thing I bet they won’t mention: the Bush proposal is targeted at middle- and upper-income veterans whose disabilities aren’t service-related. And here’s another: Bush is asking for a total of $71 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs in the next fiscal year, up nearly 50 percent (from $48 billion) when he took office.
Update: The demagoguery has already begun. The post at Atrios is entitled, “Bush Hates Veterans.” The post at Daily Kos is entitled, “Bush Aiming to Screw Veterans Yet Again.” Someone at Democratic Underground responded to the news with this photo. Now that didn’t take long, did it?
Update: Captain Ed and I are on the same wavelength!

Has anyone here ever had the occasion to drug one of these libs and find out whether they know they are lying, or whether they are just blissfully retarded?
