The Republican spine crumbles again. The bill got only 88 votes, 87 Republicans, and ONE Democrat (who had more guts and principle than a lot of Republicans).
Thanks Bush, thanks Rove. Here's to ya...

I have a radical idea. How about requiring
ALL patients to pay for medical care at hospitals?
Oh, I forgot. Health care is a "right", just like cable TV and a nice place to stay.

Thanks for posting the link.
Glad to say that Gibbons (R-NV) was one of the "Ayes".
Think I'll drop him a note of thanks too.

Thanks! This reminds me to send a long overdue contribution to my adopted congressman, Steve Buyer -- adopted, because I can't *stand* having Jerry "The MOAB" Nadler as my actual one.

I'm disgusted, but not shocked at all.

Perhaps if we kept illegals out of the country in the first place by securing our borders, we wouldn't have to put such legislation up for consideration in the first place. Secure the borders, boot illegals currently living here, and your problem solves itself.
It isn't the job of hospitals to make up for the pathetic border security we have in place. What's next? Having emergency room doctors audit tax records prior to providing medical care? "I'm sorry Mr Smith, we can't do that triple bypass until you clear up this little matter of your 2002 returns..."

Oh, I forgot. Health care is a "right", just like cable TV and a nice place to stay. And just when the hell did health care become a "right"? I don't recall that one, and dozens besides being guaranteed to me. I remember "life, liberty and the pursuit (not guarantee) of happiness".

Good for Gibbons. My Demorat Raza-Nazi voted "nay" of course.
Mr. Gibbons may find me as a new constituent of his before long.

A fat kid who looks to be going mad, which represents my feelings that this bill was rejected.

It represents my anger part, not my physical dimensions of course :)

And just when the hell did health care become a "right"?1986, I think. That's when congress passed the the law forcing emergency rooms to accept all patients.

Oh. I thought the kid looks happy and excited - and the gif is named something like "woohoo."

Same here. I'd buy a drink for every one of the 88 who supported this (even the Dem) if my wages weren't depressed by illegals.
I don't care, I'd like to see some of these weak-kneed Republicans lose their jobs over this issue. It is THAT important!
