Tomorrow the House of Representatives will vote in an attempt to overturn the SCHIP reauthorization the president vetoed. There is a lot of rhetoric being used on the lead up to the vote but the reality is that the veto will be sustained.
What will or would be a proper House leadership response to a vote to sustain the veto? Should the leadership return the reauthorization to committee and improve the bill in a manner acceptable to Republican members and acceptable to the president or, should they just ram the same bill through congress once again?
Will the Democrats use the poor kids as an election tool and allow the SCHIP program to lapse? A continuing resolution is in effect until 15 Nov. to allow the existing program to continue. Will the Democratic Party cut off opportunity for poor kids SCHIP for votes and could such action work against them?
House Majority Leader says she has already compromised, but this is a lie… she sent a bill to the Senate that was crafted by only a majority in the committee… no minority input was allowed as it was being debated on the floor of the house, in fact representatives from the Democratic Party in the House were not allowed to amend or make the bill better… this means only a dictatorship of a selected few are or were represented in the House version of SCHIP reauthorization. So Nancy Pelosi claims she compromised by lowering her desire from $95,000,000,000 to $35,000,000,000 and this, on its face is a lie because the $95B would violate PayGo… not enough smokers willing to pay that tax.
Question for the debate then is if House Leadership refuses to negotiate with the minority to formalize a reauthorization of SCHIP into law are the Democrats playing politics with dead babies? Will the American people hold them or the Republican Party to blame in the event of a lapse?
Note to lefties: Leftie loosie… rightie tightie when one tightens something to the left it is usually the knob on a fan blade… Please don’t spin about the cost of the war… A majority is approving and have approved every cent for the war… it has nothing to do with kids health care or free diapers for poor kids.
