Senator Clinton, a Disaster in Wait
Representative Peter Stark (D, CA), the Chairman of the Ways and Means Health Subcommittee, splashed a lot of mud on our military last week. He wasn’t pleased with President Bush’s veto of the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
In protest to the veto, he stated that President Bush sent US troops to Iraq to watch them die for his “own amusement.” This was Representative Stark’s rebuke for funding the Iraqi front against al Qaeda, rather than funding health care for an additional ten million, “poor children.”
And there at Rep. Stark’s left elbow stood a smiling Senator Hillary Clinton. Her support of this fellow member of the Weaken America Club dispels any doubts about her real political agenda.
In a follow-up interview, the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), refused to condemn the remark. Her passive acceptance didn’t quell the uproar. Thus, Representative Stark issued the following written apology.
"I have nothing but respect for our brave men and women in uniform and wish them the very best," said Stark. "But I respect neither the Commander-in-Chief who keeps them in harms way nor the chickenhawks [sic] in Congress who vote to deny children health care."
The logical extension of his apology confirms that Representative Stark respects our military, even though he thinks they are too stupid to understand why they are in Iraq. It’s unlikely his apology uplifted the spirits of our military, but it does exemplify why Congress’ approval rating is nearly in single digits.
Representative Stark, speaking for his comrades, lashed out at our military and President Bush because he couldn’t defend the content of the revised SCHIP legislation.
He didn’t want to mention that five million of the ten million children were already eligible for the program.
He didn’t want to mention that the legislation defined a child as anyone under the age of 25.
He didn’t want to mention that the SCHIP legislation’s definition of a poor child included the children of families with incomes up to $82,000.
He didn’t want to mention SCHIP covered the children of illegal aliens to age 25.
He didn’t want to mention that President Bush agreed to accept similar legislation that calibrated the age and income qualifications to levels consistent with the program’s original intent.
He didn’t want to mention that the entire exercise was a ruse to extend national healthcare to the middleclass and debilitate private healthcare.
Representative Stark is an unabashed ultra left-winger. Ditto for Rep. Pelosi. But presidential candidate Senator Clinton masquerades as a centrist. If she is a moderate, then Presidents Harry Truman and Franklin Roosevelt were charter members of the Great Rightwing Conspiracy. Senator Clinton is a socialist. Her candidacy for president can only be described as a national disaster in wait.
