Up in smoke.

Up in smoke.

Strike back at the taxaholics…and get healthier, too: Good idea!

Up in smoke.

Giddyup.

Light up for Big Nanny.

Paved with Big Nanny intentions…

I don’t call them squishy, bend-over Barack Obama Republicans for nothing. Here’s the roll call vote on the massive S-CHIP expansion, funded with a huge tobacco tax increase that will hit the working poor the hardest in hard times. Nine Republican Senators joined the Democrats to shove the universal health care Trojan Horse through. [...]

Cross purposes.

The open-borders crowd has been pushing to get a piece of the S-CHIP pie for more than a year. House Republicans have flagged the issue repeatedly. The bill is now in the Senate.
CNS reports on Harry Reid’s diffident attitude about the loosened ID standards:
A proposed change to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), [...]

“…because today’s children are tomorrow’s bright future!”

Giddyup, B.O. Republicans.

Scroll for updates…McCain defends Joe the Plumber…

Photoshop: David Lunde
My syndicated column today reports on Team Obama and the Obamedia’s mission to tear down Joe the Plumber. Yes, we are in the midst of a new contagion: Joe The Plumber Derangement Syndrome. JTPDS.
Now, pay close attention to how the MSM rushes to uncover every last [...]

Sinking S-CHIP.

Earlier today, I blogged the failure of the Democrat attempt to override President Bush’s S-CHIP expansion bill veto. I linked to the roll call vote, but it deserves a separate post. As covered here extensively last year, the Dems’ push to expand the children’s health insurance entitlement beyond low-income families, beyond children, and beyond [...]

Child exploitation.

Kiddie care.

Well, well, well. After all that Doing It For The Children hyperventilation, after all the finger-pointing and foot-stomping, after all the kiddie human shield-waving, after all the teeth-gnashing vows not to surrender on their massive S-CHIP entitlement expansion, the Democrat have, yes, surrendered.
Surrendered.
You will remember that Harry Reid and the desperate, Do-Nothing Democrats blamed [...]

The Associated Press assigns BDS-infected reporter Jennifer Loven to cover the president’s second veto of the massive S-CHIP entitlement expansion tonight, and she piles on the bias thick–starting with the first paragraph:
President Bush vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have expanded government-provided health insurance for children, his second slap-down of a bipartisan effort in Congress to [...]

Well, this is fascinating. Two Boston Globe reporters hung out on Mitt Romney’s lawn last week and other Globe staffers have been scoping out the lawn over the last two months:
Standing on stage at a Republican debate on the Gulf Coast of Florida last week, Mitt Romney repeatedly lashed out at rival Rudy Giuliani for [...]

Robert Rector at the Heritage Foundation reports that the S-CHIP bill still pending in Congress continues to provide loopholes to illegal aliens to obtain access to Medicaid and undermines welfare eligibility rules for legal immigrants.
Bottom line:
H.R. 3963 fails to adequately prevent abuse of taxpayer funds. It increases opportunities for illegal immigrants to obtain Medicaid [...]

Who cares about the children?

I’ve said it all along: The Democrats’ massive S-CHIP expansion is a Trojan Horse for Hillarycare. Now, we get it straight from the horse’s mouth. A Hill source sends an audio clip of former Iowa Dem. Governor Tom Vilsack at Drake University on Nov. 16 describing how S-CHIP will help achieve those universal entitlement [...]

The b-word.

Gamble.

Measure 50 goes down.

Kiddie politics.

Dragging out the kiddie human shields again.

Good!

This is high-larious. The Hill reports on an internal Democrat strategy memo complaining that the Democrat Party is too hyper-rational and lacks emotional appeal.
For real. They think “SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILLLLLDREN!” is too bland and accountant-like:
Democrats are losing the battle for voters’ hearts because the party’s message lacks emotional appeal, according to a widely circulated [...]
