House fails to override SCHIP veto

Shame on Congress!

Even now, even in 2007, even with George W. Bush's approval ratings at a Nixonian level, even though 61 percent of Americans wanted Congress to override Bush's veto of the SCHIP bill that would provide health care insurance to low-income children, 156 House Republicans care more about being loyal to Bush than about the fate of our children.

On Thursday, the House came up nine (9) votes short of the number needed to override Bush's veto.

I don't ever want to hear any of those 156 refer to themselves as "compassionate conservatives". There is no compassion in depriving sick children of necessary health care.

>> See how your Rep voted.
