The Bush administration, continuing its fight to stop states from expanding the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, has adopted new standards that would make it much more difficult for New York, California and others to extend coverage to children in middle-income families.

Administration officials outlined the new standards in a letter sent to state health officials on Friday evening, in the middle of a month-long Congressional recess. In interviews, they said the changes were aimed at returning the Children’s Health Insurance Program to its original focus on low-income children and to make sure the program did not become a substitute for private health coverage.

After learning of the new policy, some state officials said today that it could cripple their efforts to cover more children by imposing standards that could not be met.

Seems he was just teasing us. D’oh.

I shouldn’t say RR is nobody, but he’s not next door to what he’s been billed as.

Never end with a preposition..:}

My favorite Repub talker phrase, “the fact of the matter is”….

The Republicans with the collaboration of the traditional media is going to package Thompson as the second coming of Lincoln. A public more concerned with reality television than the reality of policy will no doubt applaud like seals and bleat like they sheep we know they are. How in the hell did the country ever elect Ronald Rayguns twice and even more unbelievable, George Bush twice. What explains that? A willfully ignorant nation of sheep.

It is all BS. The popular vote will be a Democratic without a DOUBT, no matter who it is, perhaps a landslide, in fact. The only problem is their criminal election fraud activites. We have to be on top of that. I read that it only takes a percentage or two of difference to override the voter rigging, however, software now could exceed that.

We will win. The ridiculous idea that Fred Thompson is another Reagan, could play easily into the Dems hands if the quote about George by Reagan, is exposed and repeated often. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Attack, attack, Attack!!!

Whew. This makes me feel much better about Levin’s report from Iraq.

Yet the traditional media spins any and all critiques to support the criminal administration. At what point is it appropriate to declare the traditional media a greater threat to America than Al Quaida?
