House Republicans stood bravely with their Commander-in-Chief Bush to defeat the attempt to extend health care opportunities to 10,000,000 American children. They celebrated their victory with due restraint (in public) but in private they clapped each other on the back and said, “YES!! We beat those Democrats.”
Naturally, the Schoolyard Bully-in-Chief blamed someone else when he was confronted with the simple truth he fucked over American children in favor of the Insurance Industry that has given him so much money. “The Democrats made me do it,” he was heard to say. “I want to help the poor and am ready to compromise and have to draw the line on spending,” he said without blinking or turning red with shame.
Next, the Deserter-in-Chief will ask for $45,000,000,000 to continue paying his contractor friends in Iraq. This, of course, is supplemental spending and not part of the budget which will be balanced any day now.
Thank the Shrub that many children will die before they have to face paying the monster debt he and his Republican shits have run up on their watch.
Here is what two Republican Representatives had to say about their victory;
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) charged that “SCHIP stands for Socialized, Clinton-style Hillarycare for illegals and their parents.”
“Americans are tired of the rhetoric,” said House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio). “They’re tired of the political games, and they want us to find a way to work together.”
Now doesn’t that make you proud to be an American? Or does it make you want to puke in King & Boehner’s faces?
