Who deserves government-subsidized health insurance?

What if I told you I drove these three cars
A Volvo SUV…

A GMC Suburban…

And a nice, big Ford F250 Pickup work truck…

And what if I told you, further, that I owned a large home and commercial property worth at least $400,000 in total–property for which I paid a total of $215,000?

And what if I told you, in addition, that I was resourceful enough to cobble together financing (through scholarships and other means) for private school education for four children?

And what if I told you that neither I nor my spouse were employed full-time–one of us working “intermittently” and the other “part-time”?

Would you consider my family “exactly the kind” and “precisely the type” of family that should benefit from S-CHIP, the government-subsidized health insurance program intended for the “working poor?”

Or will they be honest and say its all about giving everyone free healthcare not just "for the children"

Would you believe this one?

Come President Bush and the Democrat led Congress.

The American people are fed up with illegal immigration and open borders.

Why won't you protect us?

Expecially in this time of terror.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Because the Dems in Congress pushes a useless and senseless resolution condemning Turkey for events that happened 90 years ago. Now, the Turks have withdrawn from diplomatic negotiations and are poised to cross the Northern Iraq border, which could mean more war. And for what?

Thanks, silly Dem Congresspersons. Once again, you prove your amateurishness in the realm of international diplomacy.

Is she an example of how a Christian should behave and is it safe to assume that ALL Christians behave in such ways.

Unbelievable.

This is not fair at all for Jewish people.

I never was an Ann Coulter fan any way.

'Black voters in Florida and around the country turned out in record numbers on November 7. Since then, many have complained that Florida election officials removed large numbers of minorities from state voting rolls, wrongly classifying them as convicted felons -- and accused Florida officials of using police to intimidate voters in some areas. Jackson cited the reports of students from historically black colleges in Florida, who have said they went to the polls carrying voter identification cards and were told they were not on the voter rolls.'

Oh not Puffy Gore, I mean Dick Cheney.

http://www.factcheck.org/article261.html

However, Cheney and his wife Lynne have assigned any future profits from their stock options in Halliburton and several other companies to charity. And we're not just taking the Cheney's word for this -- we asked for a copy of the legal agreement they signed, which we post here publicly for the first time.

The "Gift Trust Agreement" the Cheney's signed two days before he took office turns over power of attorney to a trust administrator to sell the options at some future time and to give the after-tax profits to three charities. The agreement specifies that 40% will go to the University of Wyoming (Cheney's home state), 40% will go to George Washington University's medical faculty to be used for tax-exempt charitable purposes, and 20% will go to Capital Partners for Education, a charity that provides financial aid for low-income students in Washington, DC to attend private and religious schools.

Both were vicious attacks on civilian targets with huge losses of innocent. Why then, do we consider the attack on Hiroshima to be on higher moral ground than the attacks on 9/11?

I like this part:
Rasmussen Reports was the nation's most accurate polling firm during the 2004 Presidential election and the only one to project both Bush and Kerry's vote total within half a percentage point of the actual outcome

Pelosi wants to condemn turkey for the "genocide" that supposedly happened 90 years ago.

Hillary has changed her mind and finds it irresponsible to insult Turkey, an ally.

Who is correct, Dems?

Why didn't Bill Clinton and the Dems pass this in 1993 or 1994?

It goes like this.

The earth is on a very dangerous course due to losing mass. Year after year manking launches huge heavy doohickeys into space and thus decreases the mass of the earth. This has a direct consequence on reducing the force of gravity and thus will mean that someday the moon will drift away into the...uh..sunset.

Another consequence is the rotation of our planet will slow down through time and lengthen the day, thus forcing Hugo Chavez to decree himself President of Time Itself.

Won't you buy some Heavy Credits, for the children?

Ann Coulter is the dumbest, educated person i have ever heard. On Donny Deutsch's "Big Idea" CNBC show she said essentially that Jews should become Christians so they can become "perfected."

She puts Republicans to shame.
She's also said the following:

The "backbone of the Democratic Party" is a "typical fat, implacable welfare recipient"---syndicated column 10/29/99

To a disabled Vietnam vet: "People like you caused us to lose that war."---MSNBC

"I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote."---Hannity & Colmes, 8/17/99

"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote."---Politically Incorrect, 2/26/01

"I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don't need any more." Asked how far back would she go to repeal laws, she replied, "Well, before the New Deal...[The Emancipation Proclamation] would be a good start."---Politically Incorrect 5/7/97
