Dems’ latest S-Chip poster family. Like the Frosts, the new spokesfamily has a tragic personal story and is a curious example of the supposedly pressing need for S-CHIP expansion…because the family already qualifies for the existing program and nothing President Bush or the Dems propose to do would change that.
The Baltimore Sun blog says the new toddler-aged human shield will speak on the Hill tomorrow:
Now meet Bethany Wilkerson, the latest youngster enlisted by congressional Democrats or their allies to help build support for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. Having suffered from heart failure as an infant, USAction says, the Florida toddler would not be alive today but for the government-funded program for moderate-income families not poor enough to qualifty for Medicaid.
Now Bethany is scheduled to speak at a Capitol Hill rally Tuesday evening, according to a release this morning by Americans United For Change.
There was no word on what the 2-year-old plans to say. But she joins a flurry of 11th-hour activity in advance of the attempt by House Democrats on Thursday to override Bush’s veto of legislation to expand coverage to 4 million more children at a cost of $35 billion over five years.
McQ weighs in: “How do to the Wilkersons argue for the expansion of the program that the Democrats are trying ram through that could include families 400% over the poverty level and “children” who are 25? They don’t. So other than emotional appeal and an attempt to pretend the Wilkersons are the sort of family the fight is about when it is not, why are we seeing the Wilkersons at all?”

You are seeing them because liberals do not care about all the facts listed in this article, they ONLY care about getting what they want. They will attack you with blatant emotionalism and exploitation of children.

Game, it is a program designed to help (gasp!) CHILDREN....
Do you propose they trot a senior citizen out to represent it?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU??
They are ideologues who must stick to the story. They can't understand that even people who work hard and do everything that the right-wingers expect of them sometimes still need help.
They can't see through what they call emotional pandering to understand the point is that some people are actually worthy of our help.
I see that Che Hashhole and Lyin' Jim are bankrupt enough to ignore the facts and still try to fleece the public. What a pair of Marxist whores.
I feel like I am teaching a special ed class.
The program in question ALREADY COVERS these people...in BOTH cases.
I honestly don't understnad how grown men can not understand a simple, easy to understand, single concept.
I guess that is what happens when you have liberal mental disorder.
Oh ya PCD, do you like how in 90% of posts liberals do not even address the point and facts of the story....as demonstrated here.
game,
I'm actually having a bad day. I'm attending a funeral tomorrow. To bad it isn't Che Hashhole's or Jim's.
I really think there aren't any honest libs out there except for whack jobs like Che and his friend MoPoop.
Here's something you might want to blog on. It shows how Traitorous the Democrat party has become.

Wow. PCD's comment took a lot of thought. "Everyone who doesn't agree with me is a Marxist." How original.
Ignoring facts....that is surely the pot calling the kettle black. Ignoring facts that aren't convenient is your SOP.
old hash...a demotion is anyone having to try to understand your point of view on this RIGHT ON site...old hash...a demotion would be having to spend time with you...
old hash..your views are always demoted...old hash...
Parklife,
Thank you for recognizing my pain.
Since the bill has bipartisan support, PCD is once again correct in framing it as a simple Democrats v. Republicans issue.....
hash, you are not allowed to speak to pcd in that manner, and since you don't have a clue about me you are not allowed to talk to me in that manner, so suck it.
Game,
And PCD is allowed to wish death upon Hash? You define the word hypocrite.
Remember, eeeeevil liberals, game
does endorse these sorts of warm wishes from his wingnut buddies:
"I'm attending a funeral tomorrow. To bad it isn't Che Hashhole's or Jim's."
Be aware, big bad lefties...if you are attacked, stalked, and/or relentlessly hounded by such a troll, you are NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND YOURSELF!!
Thank God we have luminaries like Fudgepacker Dan and moishele to bring up the level of "debate"!!
First blood?
It's interesting that once again, the issue is framed as the right not caring about children, when Bush has proposed an expansion of the plan, and the Dems simply aren't satisfied with the extent of it. Well, too bad. But that doesn't mean we're against kids, but rather that we have a different idea about how to get it done. Thus, the left lies again.
hash and parklife are stupid, I don't feel like listening to their crap, so I'll just delete it as long as I feel like it...
They can feel helpless here as they do in their lives...
"But that doesn't mean we're against kids, but rather that we have a different idea about how to get it done."
Not really, because the Democratic response only takes a swing at the ball, whereas the Republicans shut down the stadium and turn off the lights on the kids for good.
"I'm attending a funeral tomorrow. To bad it isn't Che Hashhole's or Jim's."
PCD - that was not even funny!! Is it really how your mind works? Man, that's messed up!!
I'm very disappointed in you game for allowing that kind of shit just because someone is on your "side". It is the lowest. And that's why I've blocked that person's comments. I'm only sorry others here haven't figured out how to do the same.
Marshall, you are wrong about the framing. The framing is that Bush cares more about ideology than helping a few more kids.
And the framing is that Republicans attack people that the program has helped rather than argue their ideological case.
If you can block certain people's comments let me know how...I might just have to do it.
Again, why can't Democrats debate honestly? Are they all that dishonest?
And Game claims that only Hash's posts serve no purpose....
Andy;
How about the original post?
