Just for kicks, I checked the most recent polls for public approval of Bush, and they are pretty much the exact same. Fun stuff.

This is one case where Bush is right. We should provide coverage for children whose parents cannot afford insurance, but it should not be offered in cases where the parents can cover their children....why should we pay for their children's insurance when they have the ability to? I will have to say this is a political stroke of genius on the part of the Democrats though with the spin doctoring.

Well think about it, how much is this bill costing versus Iraq? I'd rather have my tax money be used to fund children (no matter what their economic status is) than fund this pathetic war.
