My email has been geting a lot of MoveOn type PSAs telling me that I should meet this or that urchin who'd be without but for SCHIP as written, as if Democrats tell us SCHIP or we'll never have any healthcare, they'll see to it; the Bruno and Tony inferences are intriguing, but here's what I said when I forwarded such PSAs to my interests:  

 

"We all know SCHIP as vetoed is primarily designed to eradicate private healthcare for an array of purely political reasons. I add that Assistant Majority Leader Durbin's, and candidate Obama's, Chicago just passed via its parks board a ban on smoking at beaches and parks, as the City now wants it a major crime to smoke within 15 feet of children; this is only another leaf on the pile of such smoking bans which already have diminished tobacco use to all but gone in the USA.

 

Well, MoveOn et al, despite their poster children heart tugs, could care less if adults DID get "benefits" (albeit typical Socialist care) or the Fed had to BORROW and distribute as States and Cities deem fit to spend at their own County hospitals...MoveOn, Soros, PFAW, Pelosi, Emanuel, Clinton...none can think of doing anything without complete collectivization, loss of private jobs, medical research and development, and coverages paid for otherwise, nor do they chastise say Cook County Illinois Board President Stroger (Sr. or Jr.) for wanting more subprime housing at the intentional closure of job-producing business, amid, seeking either by borrowed Fed funds or local tripling of taxes and doubling of fees as if wedge tactics to induce the former, the hiring of many more jail and County hospital mental health workers.

 

Where MoveOn and similar tug at our heart strings just to get something where say poor children healthcare would at best be paranthetical to a much different and purely political use of such funds, in a way that results in expanding, per Chicago, publicly-owned casinos, more single women in subprime or government-owned housing, more adoptions by women of foreign children, and higher prison populations and mental health as the only other industry to offer, for such reasons I support the Bush veto of SCHIP as written, and challenge MoveOn and similar to come up with easier and more direct bills to get money to hurricane victims, foreign born, and other poor children already here and to REDUCE the expansion of the class of such needy."
