It is the function of government to protect its citizens’ liberty.
It is not the function of government to usurp its citizens’ liberty.
And that includes forcing some citizens to pay other citizens’ bills.

Better Question:
How does it make you feel that the liberals want to extend childhood in the US to age 25?

You are twisting this around and taking it out of context.
Please provide a link…and it’s called SCHIP not CHIP, and every single state has this program.
EDIT: Did you read this article? Please tell me first who is more likely to smoke? Yes…the poor. So the dem’s want to tax the poor who smoke. That sounds smart to me, how about you?
Next: to me this says it all. “Our goal should be to move children who have no health insurance to private coverage — not to move children who already have private health insurance to government coverage,” Bush said.
Sounds like moving backwards to me. He has not refused to fund it as you claim, and the article says no such thing.
About the war: It is government’s job to fund military not take my private insurance away from me for unwanted “socialized healthcare.”

well I guess he’s not that desperate for these kids to be soldiers when they grow up, if he doesn’t care about their health now.

Indifferent.
I don’t believe the program is needed. Most parents can take care of their children themselves. If they can’t, maybe they should’ve been thinking before having 6 kids with no college degree.
We can’t keep paying for irresponsible behavior, all we’re doing is encouraging them by letting them think “OH, IT’S OKAY, THE GOVERNMENT WILL FORCE EVERYONE TO PAY FOR WHAT I DO”
Money comes from somewhere and we only have so much of it.

CHIP is funded on a state level in my state. And, I do not personally feel that it is the responsibility of the government to pay for health plans. If they want to make insurance more affordable, then they should go after the frivolous lawsuits and insurance companies. They are the ones who’ve put us in this situation.

Wrong, he said he would extend the current program, but not agree to an expensive overhaul of the program, get it right.

Nice liberal spin.
Bush was willing to fund CHIP until, Congress attached the “dream bill” to it and the funding stopped.
Blame Congress for trying to be sneaky about illegal aliens.
Congress is continuing to fund the war. Not Bush.
Learn a little about how the government works before you complain about it.

It only reinforces what many of us (capable of independent thought) have known for a long time … Both Bush and his rubber-stamping republican members of the senate and congress are morally bankrupt.

I think that it’s sad. Bush is attempting to rebuild Iraq and take care of their people, while he ignores the citizens of this country.

This is the exact reason I voted for him; to repeal socialism.
I feel very satisfied

Two sets of ideals.
1. Government (federal) run health care.
2. State run health care.
Constitutionally, a federal run health care plan isn’t viable.
A State run health care plan is.
If the Government bows and supports this health care plan, it’s an immediate step to support a federal health care plan.
In other words, if the liberals ‘break through’ with this health care plan it’s a stepping stone to a further reaching health care plan to support other citizens from a federal level.
Which is basically a socialized health care system.

It doesn’t make me feel anything. I think its time to clip the government’s wings.

War mongers fund wars-not health programs.
