Honest Mitch??????

You're not likely to find this in the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer. This is starting to become old news, yet the M-I hasn't covered any of it. Their coverage of SCHIP has been nonexistent. SCHIP, an acronym that I suppose is automatically rejected by the M-I's spell check, stands for State Children's Health Insurance Program. This program offers health, eye, dental, and prescription medicine for children of poor or working family's that aren't offered insurance through their employers. Well, SCHIP is up for renewal and needs funding. It passed the House of Congress by 256 to 159 and the Senate by 68 to 31. Not one representative from Kentucky voted for it. George Bush vetoed the bill. There's enough support in the Senate to override the veto but it takes 290 House votes or the veto will be sustained.


I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence but assuming you depend solely on the Messenger-Inquirer, you're not likely to be familiar with Graeme Frost of Baltimore, the 12 year old that was injured along with his sister in an automobile accident. Graeme Frost delivered the Democratic Radio Address, pleading with President Bush to expand SCHIP funding. Subsequently, Frost was viciously attacked by the right wing for his efforts. It was later found that the attacks were unwarranted and completely untrue.  Last week, It was  reported that Don Stewart, the communications director for  Mitch McConnell , had sent an e-mail to reporters encouraging them to cover the right-wing campaign to smear 12-year old Graeme Frost and his family. In the e-mail, Stewart claimed that research by conservative bloggers proved that Democrats did a bad job “vetting this family.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell knew last week -- at a time when he was denying it -- that his staff had sent e-mails encouraging reporters to look into the background of a 12-year-old boy used by Democrats to support expansion of a health-care program.

In an interview Friday with WHAS-TV reporter Mark Hebert, the Kentucky Republican said his staff had not been involved in trying to push reporters to look into the financial situation of the boy's family. Hebert asked McConnell about the e-mails. The exchange was broadcast Sunday night and again last evening.

Hebert asked the senator whether his office was attempting to get reporters to look into Frost's background.

"No," McConnell answered.

The senator was then asked, "What was the deal with the e-mail from your staffer?"

McConnell replied: "There was no involvement whatsoever."



It's one thing for our representatives to turn their backs on families that are working, playing by the rules, and trying to care for their families. It's disturbing the he'd exploit them to help promote his agenda. His lies bring out his true colors and exactly who he is.

The thing that sticks in my mind so much is that unless you are from the same cloth as Bush and McConnell you are a target to this kind of humiliation. I do think it is fitting to say to McConnelll, back at ya baby!

Joey, I'm wondering if you even bothered to read the post. For one thing, it's hardly old news. It's very much alive as it's constantly on CNN, FOX, et al., as well as abuzz on the blogs. One of my main points was that the local newspaper seems to prefer to ignore the problem in hopes that it will go away. There was finally an article in the M-I on it today in the region section on page 3.
As for your shoot-from-hip-assessment that it's over, well it isn't. It goes back to Congress to be voted on to either override or sustain the president's veto. That, in my opinion, is a justifiable reason to try to inspire people to let our representatives know that we're not happy about it.

"Uh, you guys lost." Who's "you guys" Joey? You mean the Democrats? I have health insurance as does my family so the "you guys" that lost(or will lose today) isn't me. If I or my child has a tooth ache or we break our glasses, we don't have to live with it. This isn't, or shouldn't be a partisan issue and I think you and I both know who the real losers are.
