-Even though the House of Representatives has re-worked and passed a new S-CHIP bill (healthcare for poor American children), the President has vowed to veto the bill. Why does President Bush hate poor children? Perhaps he'd pass the S-CHIP bill if it had something to do with Halliburton or Blackwater or even some Texas oil field.

AGAINST S-CHIP H R 3963 this time? Here is the list of from the
