Meet Bethany.
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/15/meet-bethany/

Two years ago, when Bethany Wilkerson was born with a serious heart problem, private insurance wouldn’t help her. Without SCHIP, Bethany might not be here today. Watch the new SCHIP ad:

The last SCHIP family to go public about the value of the health insurance program — the Frosts — was smeared by the right wing. The Wilkersons said today they aren’t scared of the attacks that may come against them:

The Wilkersons said they are fully aware of the possibility that their finances and personal lives may be investigated by opponents of the SCHIP bill.

“We rent a house, we have one car that is a junker. Let them dig away,” Bo Wilkerson said. “I have $67 in my checking account. Does that answer your question?”

(end snip)

What have we come to, that we destroy children? What are these monsters called republicans?

2. Anyone doubting these people should feel shame, in fact anyone
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 08:34 PM by AuntPatsy
standing behind the idiot in chief's decision to cut health care for our children are not worthy of my time, they have no shame, they have no compassion, in some ways they have lost their humanity, there is no excuse for such shameful actions that have come from the leader of this country, the same one who has no problem sleeping at night while hundreds of people are dying each day in different countries because of his inability to feel anything but greed and desire for power.

3. They are cowards who hide behind Christianity to spout their
self loathing and self hate....what is telling....is that the information came from a Congressmans office...they are now attacking their own constituants...

They are willing to destroy children so they can continue to push their agenda of drowing government in a bathtub....

4. The republicans all come from families and lives of plenty
Most of them have never ever had to really work for anything in their lives. It was handed to them usually by their parents. And they are still raking it in. They think they are above the petty things like not having enough to eat, a place to stay or INSURANCE FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

It shows the character of these people. They are all so self centered and absolute greedy they would even shoot innocent people if it would get them out in front.
