"if" he is a born-again Christian...i strongly suspect that dubya's religiosity and public piety is just another campaign gimmick-i have seen nothing remotely Christian in his policies or his actions...he worships money and power, and is a faithful servant of both...face it, the last Christian (as opposed to 'christian') president we had was jimmy carter, and the self-righteous right did all they could to destroy him

Call it what it is. It's the Republican Big Lie coming home to roost. The Big Lie of course is that that raising taxes is bad for the country ;It's not Sometimes raising taxes is good for the country because it insures that the stuff that that the country needs to buy has a source of funding that doesn't involve borrowing money and the interest that comes with that process.
So Mr.Bush has a basic accounting problem . Even with borrowing money his revenue will not cover his expenses . He cannot increase his income so he has to cut his expenses. He can't reduce the expenses of his horribly misguided little war so American children get to suffer due to the extreme incompetence of their President

madpol - "the God and Greed Coalition" - i like that, i could you would be wanting to apply it myself. Bwana - scientific coverage is a necessity, not a luxury. the situation with non-prosperous people who area with the conservatives is they have been brainwashed to believe that they, too, would nicely be billionaires if purely they artwork 24/7, obey their company masters, and vote Republican. this is horsesh!t. the only thank you to get to be a billionaire is to already be a millionaire and make investments wisely. It only would not ensue to person-friendly, center class or working class persons. Get your heads out of the sand and awaken! "unfastened" markets are purely unfastened for people who have already got funds. Oh, and the only little ones Bush cares approximately are fetuses, because of the fact they may well be used to capture women and administration them.

All I can say is, you will know a born again Christian by their fruits. I cant judge anyone's beliefs, however his fruits seem fairly rotten. Where is our country's priorities? Sad.
EDIT: Read a bit about the bill, doesnt sound like the best thing in the world really, however he has made horrendous decisions on many other things

First, this is not the politics section.
Second, I don't know if he's a "born again Christian" or not.
Third, two of the reasons he vetoed it are the 30 billion dollar yearly price tag and the fact that it would extend coverage to people making $80,000 a year. I'm all for helping poor children get health insurance. I'm not so sure that people making $80K qualify as "poor". If they do, then I guess I'm destitute.

Only he can answer to God for the things that he does.
But what makes you think that republicans are people of Christ? Because they say so? Look to peoples actions as well as to their words, and you will know Gods people from those who just say they are.

Politicians will be politicians will be politicians. Bush says what he thinks will get the votes of the Christians of the gullible variety...IOW, he courts the naive ones.

I guess it's because he needs those children to continue to live in poverty so they will grow up and join the military and they can become cannon fodder. It's not the rich who are sacrificing their children to this war even though they started it. They want the poor to fight it for them.

The president vetoed the bill because it expanded the child health care bill to extend it to people who earn up to 80 grand.
If a parent that makes 80 grand cant prioritize their childs healthcare as a top expense then blame the parents if their child isnt insured.
The fed gvt has NO business, esp no constitutional business providing healthcare benefits to anyone, let alone people that make more than enough to provide healthcare to their own children.
Bush vetoed the ability for people to leech off the american taxpayers when they are in no position to leech.

It's simple, really. Republicans are opposed to collateral benefit but in favor of collateral damage.
