House Republicans voted down the veto override of the S-CHIP (children’s health care) bill, once again proving they only care about themselves and their wealthy patrons and will do anything to decimate American families by destroying their children. No doubt these Republicans will be lauded as heros by the Republican voters throughout the United States.

When Republicans voted against children’s health care and George Bush vetoed the bill, they kicked our children to the curb. Today, House Republicans ran over our children with a bus by sustaining Bush’s veto of health care for children.

Let’s hope that the Democrats have the courage to bring up the S-CHIP bill again with NO modifications so we can see how many Republicans will now pour gasoline on the children – who had the temerity to survive being run over by a bus – and light them on fire. If that doesn’t work, look for Republicans to grab axes – paid for with our taxes – to hack our children to death, thereby delighting blood-thirsty Republican voters.

Here’s a list of House Republican heroes who voted against, or didn’t vote on, the override of Bush’s veto:
