In an apparent attempt to drive their job approval ratings below the historic nadir to which they have already sunk, Nancy Pelosi and her congressional accomplices produced another SCHIP boondoggle yesterday.
In a typical piece of procedural skulduggery, the House “leadership” held the vote while many of the bill’s opponents were out of town. But that didn’t work. Once again, they got their butts kicked:
The 265-142 vote was a victory for Bush and his allies, who urged House Republicans to reject Democrats’ claims that changes to the legislation had met their chief concerns.
So, why do these people keep playing such games with the health care of low-income children? They think it’s a political winner:
Liberal groups continue to run attack ads against Republicans siding with Bush on the issue, which many Democrats consider a winner for their party.
Utterly despicable.
