Rep. Steve Chabot Still Hates Children
The group "American's United for Change" has sent out a press release slamming Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot (R- 1st district) over his vote against today's SCHIP bill.
In the release Jeremy Funk, a spokesman for the group, had the following remarks on Chabot's vote:
“No thanks to Rep. Steve Chabot, today 122,000 more kids in Ohio are one step closer to receiving the health care they need. Not illegal immigrants -- not adults and children from high-income families. These are kids whose parents work but can’t afford private insurance and are not disadvantaged enough to qualify for Medicaid. Yet, plum out of excuses and grasping for straws, Rep. Chabot still stood with Bush over the thousands of parents in his district who go to bed every night praying their children don’t get sick or hurt.”
“Serious questions about Rep. Chabot’s priorities need to be asked. How is that that, without question, Rep. Chabot can continue to vote to give this President hundreds of billions of dollars for a failed policy in Iraq and then can turnaround and without justification oppose a fraction of that on healthcare for kids in need?”

Refusing to vote for the expansion of a government program means he hates children?
It's continuing to obstruct efforts to give poor children health insurance, even after efforts were made to address his earlier concerns, that means he hates children.
