SCHIP veto override fails

by shamanic

13 votes short. House Republicans get to answer for this in almost exactly 12 months, and they are going to get a stomping. I guess John Boehner must really like being the minority leader.

The kid-opposing conservatives

by shamanic

Since conservatives are so opposed to people having kids and so in favor of using taxes to lure people towards good behavior, could I get a tax break for having none? For real, last year the GOP was the party of family values, and now they're the party that wants to beat the hell out of your family if you hit rough times and need a little help getting the urchins vital health care. I'll use that tax break to visit a chiropractor to fix the whiplash I'm getting watching the SCHIP smears play out.
