Republicans Still Hate Children

-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.

Here is more on S-CHIP from the NY Times:
The House approved a revised bill to finance the children’s health insurance program yesterday by a 265-to-142 margin — a strong mandate, but still not enough to overcome another promised veto by President Bush.....

Who voted AGAINST S-CHIP H R 3963 this time? Here is the list of from the Washington Post:
[If your representative is on this list, you should call/e-mail his/her office and tell them you won't forget their vote against healthcare for poor children.]
