(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Congress has failed to overturn a Presidential veto of the SCHIP Program. The most powerful country in thee world has been struggling for months over President Bush's commitment to deny kids health insurance coverage while he sends thousands of Americans and countless others to their deaths in a war based on dishonest information.

Bush's White House says it is prepared to talk about it with a goal of reaching a solution. The White House says it's ready to talk about compromise.

Republicans are sickening, they don't care about kids, don't believe any words that emerge from their selfish mouths, we are't going to take their crap much longer, let's show them what a society does when it is pushed too far.
