You're right, too bad its the Dems playing political games with healthcare for poor kids so they can expand their power base and continue the creep of socialized healthcare.
I can only encourage this sort of self delusion in the GOP. With this kind of self destructive behavior, we'll get Hillary in the White House, and filibuster proof Congress, and get some nice healthcare bills passed that will make SCHIP expansion look like small potatoes. The fact that the GOP chose to make a stand on fighting healthcare for poor kids and attacking 12 year olds and middle class families only helps facilitate that, and I can only support your party taking this position.
Like I said earlier, witnessing cognitive dissonance can truly be a sight to behold.
