30 percent of this country doesn''t care they were lied to about "WMDs" to start a war against a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 that''s killed nearly 1 million Iraqis and killed or crippled 26,000 of our troops and has helped nearly double our national debt to 9 Trillion.

Now they applaud Bush for vetoing a bill not once but twice to expand health care to poor children.

Bush supporters are idiots of the worse kind, ill-informed, gullible and stupid beyond comprehension.

If you dont want another Republican in the White House, we as Democrats need to stand up and make sure that the USA loses the war in Iraq. The Democratic party has been against the war for so long that it would be disaster for us if the USA wins. And now that the troop surge has turned the war around, it is more important then ever that we abandon the fight. Thus we need to call our Senators and Representatives to tell them to bring our troops home NOW. WE CANNOT LET THE USA WIN THIS WAR -- IF THE USA DOES WIN, THEN THE REPUBLICANS WILL GET ALL THE CREDIT.

One comment said "Democrats have 2008 in the bag" -- as a lifelong Democrat, I am not so sure. We won Congress b/c of how things were going in Iraq. But since we took power, our Congress has gotten little if anything done. We are still in the war, and despite our efforts to surrender in Iraq, the Republicans have turned the war around and now the USA is winning -- THIS IS BAD FOR US AS DEMOCRATS BECAUSE NOW THE REPUBLICANS WILL GET CREDIT FOR WINNING THE WAR AND WE WILL BE SEEN AS WEAK IN THE WAR ON TERROR. I am afraid we have convinced the American people to vote Republican even though many people dont like Bush.

Surprise! Surprise! (NOT)

Do not send this SOB one dime in military spending that is not attached to an immediate withdrawl of combat troops in Iraq!

If we can''t afford insurance for our children, then we can''t afford to babysit the Iraqi''s at the price of $9 billion a month while he tries to maneuver them into oil contracts for his Halliburton buddies!

FORGETABOUTIT!!!

Terrific. I hopes he vetoes this bill until next November. The best gift the Democrats could ask for. Keep sending it Democrats, keep sending it.

Yes, Bush is an elitist prick and he doesn''t care about the poor. On the other hand, yhis legislation
groups those who truly need the coverage with those who can afford to pay for their own kids coverage.

I''m happy to see bipartison cooperation on healthcare legislation and coverage being offered to those who can''t afford it, but we need to means-test these programs if we''re ever going to have an afforadable and efficient system of healthcare.

This is bad legislation.

Finally, Jones says, she convinced a sympathetic guard to loan her a cell phone so she could call her father in Texas.
"I said, ''Dad, I''ve been raped. I don''t know what to do. I''m in this container, and I''m not able to leave,''" she said. Her father called their congressman, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas.
"We contacted the State Department first," Poe told ABCNews.com, "and told them of the urgency of rescuing an American citizen" -- from her American employer.
Poe says his office contacted the State Department, which quickly dispatched agents from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to Jones'' camp, where they rescued her from the container.
According to her lawsuit, Jones was raped by "several attackers who first drugged her, then repeatedly raped and injured her, both physically and emotionally."
Jones told ABCNews.com that an examination by Army doctors showed she had been raped "both ******lly and anally," but that the rape kit disappeared after it was handed over to KBR security officers.
A spokesperson for the State Department''s Bureau of Diplomatic Security told ABCNews.com he could not comment on the matter.
Over two years later, the Justice Department has brought no criminal charges in the matter. In fact, ABC News could not confirm any federal agency was investigating the case.
