Selective Clinton bashing doesnt cut it with me. We are currently $200 Billion dollars in debt with China and lying that Bill Clinton is responsible for lead exposure is something smarmy far beyond dishonest.

Clinton took money from China. Clinton also gave U.S. military secrets to China. That action put the U.S. at risk for a nuclear missile attack from China. Two foreigners pled guilty but for some reason they didn't go to jail. Also, China secretly helped fund Bill Clinton's legal defense. Democrat politicians don't want the public to know the real facts about Clinton and China.

This is a few of some of the U.S. government's documents. I am sure Democrat politicians don't want you to see them.

It seems Bush is keeping a low profile:
"No media access was allowed to Bush's meeting with the Dalai Lama . . . . In an exception to normal practice, the Bush administration did not release any pictures of the meeting. Nor did it put out a formal statement on it.
"We in no way want to stir the pot and make China feel that we are poking a stick in their eye . . ." said press secretary Dana Perino.

I haven’t heard the details about the dental aspect of Hillary’s socialized health plan, but is this what we have to look forward to with respect to the dental benefits?

“Falling numbers of state dentists in England has led to some people taking extreme measures, including extracting their own teeth, according to a new study released Monday.
Others have used superglue to stick crowns back on, rather than stumping up for private treatment, said the study. One person spoke of carrying out 14 separate extractions on himself with pliers…”

Are they just trying to make a failure out of Iraq? Are they trying to ignite WW3 with their stupid rhetoric? It couldn't wait until the next election to condemn genocide that happened almost 100 years ago? WTF are these jackholes thinking?

Do you believe that anyone who threatens the sovereignty of our nation that takes office should be tried for treason? Then why haven't we heard more from the media about the North American Union? Is there something the President needs to tell us? What is going on? I hope there would be mass outcry if something like this ever takes shape? Does anyone know what the deal is? Is this why none of our elected officials are getting serious about border issues?

Black fathers must be accountable (70% rate of unwed mothers) and blacks must educate themselves and speak like educated people to succeed.

What's wrong with that?

The State Children’s Health Insurance Program, or S-CHIP, has become the target of political games in Washington. S-CHIP was rightly intended to provide health insurance to kids whose families barely miss qualifying for Medicaid, something everyone agrees is a good idea. However, Washington liberals are attempting to overextend the program, hurting children already on the program and worse yet, hurting children who qualify for S-CHIP but who are not currently enrolled. S-CHIP is for children who need it, not adults and not the middle class.




Created in 1997 by a Republican Congress and President Clinton, S-CHIP was created to help families on the cusp of the Federal poverty line. The program received tremendous bi-partisan support and is a strategic safety-net designed to get children necessary care instead of visits to the emergency room. Through a federal and state partnership, children of families making up to $41,300 receive health insurance, but unfortunately some children are simply not enrolled.

In my state of Louisiana, Governor Kathleen Blanco recently reported that 68,250 children in Louisiana now qualify for S-CHIP but are not enrolled, and current legislation before Congress would not aim to sign up these 68,250 children before thousands more children and adults from wealthier families were added. Nationally, the number of eligible but un-enrolled children tops 500,000. In addition, Governor Blanco admitted her intent to include thousands of illegal immigrants in the program. I want S-CHIP to focus on registering those kids who currently qualify, before overextending the program to those for whom it was not intended. The disparity between those who qualify and those who are enrolled limits the ability of children who need to see primary care physicians. Our governor must do her part to reverse declining S-CHIP enrollment and fix the lack of healthcare that stems from bureaucratic burdens set by her administration. Other governors must do the same.

To those who say the program is too expensive, I say S-CHIP makes fiscal sense. Extending health insurance to children whose parents make just above the poverty line allows them to see a doctor, when an emergency room visit is much more costly and leads to lengthy waiting lines. Also, S-CHIP relieves some of the anxiety faced by many families suffering from a lack of portable healthcare insurance.

The arguments being waged by Washington liberals suggest a lack of coverage exists. As a physician, I support increased funding to cover those children who now qualify for the program. S-CHIP is a critical program for many families, and ensuring that the funds go to children in need is a necessary responsibility. Overextending the coverage is careless and will only hurt those S-CHIP is intended to help. Even with S-CHIP or Medicaid coverage, children still face significant access problems when seeking care. According to another of the Governor’s reports, families often have trouble finding a primary care practitioner. This must be fixed before our children have true, reliable access to healthcare.

Finally, stalling a vote and refusing to debate S-CHIP in Washington is irresponsible politics at its worst. It has been more than a week since the president’s veto, and members on both sides of the aisle agree that a compromise exists. However, the Democratic leadership, directed by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, refuses to reconsider the legislation in any form. They believe pressuring members to support their overextension is timelier than fighting for 500,000 children across the country who are eligible, but who nonetheless go without needed health insurance.

I support S-CHIP, and I am committed to ensuring it is a successful program that helps the children who need it and the children for whom it is intended. The children of Louisiana and the children of this nation deserve that much and I urge my colleagues in Washington to find a viable compromise. It’s about protecting S-CHIP for the children who truly need it.
