i smoke too…i’m always quitting, in fact. while i don’t mind paying the taxes to fund schip, i’m inherently opposed to programs like these.

why is it my responsibility to make sure jane and timmy have health insurance for their 8 kids? shouldn’t they make the necessary arrangements to make sure they can afford those 8 kids up front?

i don’t have problems helping out kids like the one shown in your picture. which, btw, that picture is straight up propaganda, jm. i’m disappointed in you.

i have problems helping out kids whose parents run them to the doctor for every little cough or runny nose. i have problems supplementing families whose parents work short shifts so they’ll continue to qualify for aid from the government. i have problems with people who pump out kids they can’t afford.

i’m much more willing to donate money to families who have sick kids with cancer, rare diseases, etc. i’ve done it in the past…and i’d do it again in a minute. but for the first time in a LONG time (maybe forever?), i am actually in FAVOR of something bush did.

A need for new smokers? So Bishop is afraid that if we give children health insurance protection under the new SCHIP that we’ll have the federal government out entrapping healthy adults into a life of smoking to pay for it?

Wow, that’s some quick thinkin’ there. Thanks Rob and Chris. Heckuva Job you’re doing.

Sometimes I think we as a state have elected a few people that still sing “squirrel goes round the tree” while tying their shoes.

HEY NOW! Watch your rhetoric! No medical bankruptcy in Utah, pal. It ain’t allowed.

SCHIP polls at 84 percent, Bush at 25 percent. If Republicans side with Bush this Thursday, it will be another indication of how weird things have gotten in Washington. Sure, hundreds of billions for an unnecessary and counterproductive occupation of Iraq, not one cent to help the middle class avoid medical bankruptcy!
