Quick Hit: Bush Set to Veto SCHIP. Again.
Terri Whitehouse December 12th, 2007
The AP reports that President George W. Bush is ready to veto yet another version of SCHIP. And it’s not sitting well with Republican legislators, as it well shouldn’t:
But the votes are uncomfortable for GOP lawmakers. It is a popular program with the public, making some Republicans wary of sticking with Bush on such an issue with the 2008 elections looming. Of the 43 million people nationwide who lack health insurance, more than 6 million are under 18 years old. That’s more than 9 percent of all children.
Keep sending it through, and let the same handful of shameful line-toers keep opposing it. Sure will make it easier in 2008, after which we can get some real work done!

Not to worry! Our fearless Democratic leaders in Washington will stand up to Bush! Why they just made him an offer he can not refuse.
We will cave in and give you anything you want, you don’t have to give us nothing……
