Rudy's Healthcare Flip Flop

Rudy Giuliani wants to pretend to be a foe of "socialized" medicine.

Only, lookie what we found out he did while mayor.

How did 9/11 make you change your mind on this one, Rudy?

Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) and John McCain (R-Arizona) did not vote.

There is little reason to imagine any of the Republicans who did not vote will vote to override. McCain already announced he agrees with Bush on his veto.

Democrats Who Opposed SCHIP

HOUSE:
Dan Boren (D-Oklahoma)
Kathy Castor (D-Florida)
Bob Etheridge (D-North Carolina)
Baron Hill (D-Indiana)
Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)
Jim Marshall (D-Georgia)
Mike McIntyre (D-North Carolina)
Gene Taylor (D-Mississippi)

Diane Watson (D-California) voted Present

Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), Julia Carson (D-Indiana) and Bill Delahunt (D-Massachusetts) did not vote.

SENATE:
None

Joe Biden (D-Delaware) and Barack Obama (D-Illinois) did not vote.

*I have reason to believe Castor, Watson and Kucinich will vote to override the veto, as will all three Democrats who weren't present. That means the Democrats need 22 more votes. If all the Democrats who did not vote yea vote to override, the number is 16.

Bush Veteos SCHIP

And once again proves that Iraq is more important than America's Children.

Here We Go Again

He won't allow more spending for child healthcare, but, hell, he'll break the bank when it comes to Iraq.

You see, in Bush's mind, protecting oil is more important than protecting children.

If She's Guilty, We Should Know

Harvey Weinstein needs to shut up.

Just because Hillary Clinton is a liberal Democrat does not mean we overlook the fact she received campaign donations from an industry.

It's up to her to prove she's not being bought.

Oh, and for those of you who think Michael Moore only makes Republicans look bad...think again.
