Voters Deserve to Know

Would Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson stand with Bush and veto children's health care?
Voters want -- and deserve -- to know.
We've got an entire research document that gives the specifics on the Republican candidates' shoddy record on health care coverage for low income children.
Giuliani calls it "Socialized Medicine." McCain thinks it covers too many children. Romney tells poor children: "No more free rides." And Thompson was one of only 2 Senators opposing an amendment that would ensure that $16 billion of the budget would be spent over five years to provide health insurance for up to five million low-income children.
It's almost as if President Bush is running for a third term.

Did anyone see that Kevin Costner movie this summer where he was serial killer with sick alter ego riding around in the back seat of his car encouraging him?
That's Bush. He haunts the GOP and scares the hell out of voters who just want the the killings to end and the country to get back to peace and prosperity.
The Republican candidates all have Bush perched on their shoulder like an albatross whispering in their ears ways to lose the next election...and they are all listening to him.
Not all of them. Ron Paul wants to end the war in Iraq, he wants to stop policing the world, he wants to talk and negotiate with Iran first and follow the Just War theory. He also wants to actually lower the whole debt and not just balance the budget. And Ron Paul wants to get rid of the Patriot Act and uphold and defend the Constitution, the job a president is suppose to do.
To me that sounds a lot more appealing than what any other candidate running, Republican or Democrat, can offer.
Republicans use their children as props.
Mitt says he can't spare his five strapping sons to serve in Iraq. Thompson sends his daughter out on cue. While Rudy explains his children don't want to embarrass him the say his wife does by calling occasionally.
You can bet all of their children have had health care coverage...at the taxpayers' expense. So what is Bush and all these Republican politicians beef?

Then why are you posting here instead of his website? If Ron Paul really doesn't go along with any of the Republican stands on issues, invite him to join the Democratic Party...we have a big tent.
Lets be sure every voter from America knows about these mens' mind set. We must give this health insurance, just like the plan the Representives and Senators have!
Because I'm responding to all the Democrat party-liners cries that there is no good Republican candidate (I was sent an email from this site about that), and I'm informing people that there is one Republican candidate that is against the war.
Why would I post on his website where everyone has already heard about him?
Ron Paul follows the Republicans on the idea of economic freedom, but he appears to be liberal in his stance on personal freedoms. He is truly one of kind.
Wake up America! What part of "a 156% tax increase on cigarettes to fund SCHIP" doesn't anyone understand?
1) That is unfair taxation, expecting smokers to pay for this increase.
2) It is a decreasing revenue source, what will be taxed next when it is not enough to pay for SCHIP???? GAS?????
3) Taxation without representation. Isn't that what the Boston Tea Party was all about??
BUSH DID THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does this surprise anyone? You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, ... . Thank God there are still people who will work to rip the warm, mushy, feel-good mask off of what have to be the coldest, greediest, most mean-spirited group of people ever assembled for a common purpose-becoming the President of our country. It is our country and our children deserve to live to be able to grow up and live a life, not die because of these kinds of people.
has anyone considered the fact that the SCHIP changes would have included parents making $80k a year? Why should the taxpayers have to pick up that tab? I don't earn near that amount and I'm paying for my OWN. This would have been a HUGE step towards socialized medicine. Do you want to have to take a number to be seen by a doctor? Do you want someone deciding if you are worthly to received healh care? Don't believe me?.....look at Britain & Canada? How much more government control do we want in our lives? WAKE UP people!!
