Does this make any sense whatsoever. Who cares how much taxes are on cigarettes? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070922/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush;_ylt=AvvLpgq3NIm3IdBOWHUDYAkD5gcF

he is also willing to cooperate with the Arabs on a firearms deal worth tens of billions.
no it doesn't make any sense. of course it doesn't.
he might just be the most ignorant, arrogant, self-centered, hypocritically "morally just" president we will ever have.
how can he justify his abhorantly pro-life stance while supporting the death penalty and wars?
how can he talk about Christian values while ignoring civil liberties and attacking countries for personal gain?
only one answer there- he's an idiot.

Taxes are evil according to Bush, and government is totally incompetent, a point which he has personally demonstrated repeatedly. Spending on war puts money into the pockets of the oil and energy companies, not the least of which is Halliburton, and the military industrial machine, all of which are huge benefactors of and contributors to Bush and Cheney, the two oilmen in the White House.
We have to consider the ecomony. Need to keep lots of cash in the pockets of wealthy Americans, no matter how much it costs children or the poor and middle class.
And we have to support the tobacco industry (lobby), health be damned. Including the health of America's children.

It's not that he doesn't care. It is in his best political interest to deny this. His base can afford health insurance. People that vote for him can afford health care. Although over the last 6 years some of those that voted for him have lost health care. People that don't vote for him or don't vote at all are the ones this will affect.They need help with health care but will not get it. You would get the same line from McCann,Giuliani,Romey and the the actor dude. Can't think of his name. But that is a party thing. Why do you think he says we are fighting a war on terror and does nothing to close the border between Mexico and the US? People that vote for him want to be able to hire the cheapest labor. Legal or not. He has to keep those in his base happy.

Parents are responsible for their children, including health care and health insurance. I agree that the latest 35 billion expense extra is a back door attempt at socialized medicine by increment. I do not want the government taking my tax money and spending it on someone else's kids. The federal government should not be in the health insurance business.

If it was true, it wouldn't make any sense. You trying to spin the President's desire to prevent an unnecessary massive expansion of the program is what makes no sense. Smokers care. They have rights just like the rest of us.

All uninsured US kids qualify for one type of free medical insurance or another.. (In PA it's called the Chip program) stop the quasi whining and check facts before you waste space.

It makes no sense.
Especially since ALL Iraqi citizens get free health care courtesy of the U.S. military and our tax dollars.

So to you a 25 year old is a kid? Do you think making over 80 grand a year is poor? I don't. Get the facts right.
