the conservatives are saying that they don’t want to pay for health care for other people’s children.

especially those whose parents have CHOSEN not to purchase it themselves.

see. they realize it’s a CHOICE. you think it’s a RIGHT.

it might not be a comfortable choice, but if they don’t like it, get a better job, sell the house, stop leasing new cars, get rid of cell phones….

MAKE THE CHOICE.

Dems said ” HOW DARE the GOP Attack the elderly?”

Gore lied. Ladys relatives all support the fact that she REFUSES help from anyone.

BTW where are all these freepers coming from? Has MM posted a link to this blog?

Fucking thug….MM that is.

That she is. It’s kind of like ** as the Chinese would say (sorry no emdashes)** that between laughing and crying incident where MsMalkin visited the Iraqi mosque and claimed it wasn’t blown away, even though any sane person looking at the same picture would have said the building had become definitely structurally challenged by some kind of forceful blow of something like a b*mb or two or three. She not only harrasses kids and their families, she challenges reality.

Of course. The mere suggestion that conservative bloggers even CARE what the truth is in debates such as S-CHIP is laughable. Although not related to S-CHIP, the best example of this might be CNN correspondent Michael Ware’s “outrageous heckling” of John McCain in Baghdad press conference last April 1st. (Conservatives hate Ware because he won’t regurgitate the White House line on Iraq as Fox News does.) Conservative bloggers, led by the Drudge Report, were universally outraged by Ware’s supposed transgression. Only one problem: The videotape later released shows Ware DIDN’T UTTER A WORD DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE, JUST AS HE SAID HE DIDN’T. And yet Drudge has yet to retract the lies he printed that day. Anyone who thinks conservative bloggers would have halted their attacks on the Frosts if they “had all the facts” is exceptionally naive. Just ask the Swift Boat Liars for Lies — they’ll happily confirm this.

bonkers at 25 — Yes, and when you are talking about a child who has suffered severe brain trauma — if ET is correct that they are planning on picketing the house, imagine the trauma for that child? I’ve worked with at risk kids who had to deal with brain injuries, and the cognitive and emotional integration problems that can arise with this sort of blunt force trauma and other injuries like this can be enormous. It’s bad enough to do it to a kid who is whole — but to do this to a child who is not equipped to process this sort of bile is unconscionable. Period.

You can just hear them saying already, “Since they put their kid out there, he’s fair game!”

Freaking tools. How about the fact that the family and others like them don’t have deep-pocketed corporate lobbyists to protect SCHIP, so they did whatever they could to save the program for themselves and other families.

For freepers, it can’t be that. Everything is a political game for them. Disgusting people.

What is this shit “Fair Game?” Like canned hunting? The minds of these people.

Seems to me that as long as we think this is something the public official should already be doing–that is, something covered by her or his job duties, kinda–then this is all good. It’s not trying to undermine the system but support it.

I believe that offering money to a politician for the purpose of influencing his vote is immoral, whether done by our side or the other side.

Provide support to the candidates who are voting the way you like, but don’t link specific votes to specific contributions.

This is bassackwards! Say you call your Critter and tell him / her “If you don’t start supporting the Constitution I’ll be supporting your primary challenger next year!”
