Nothing pleases me more than a reasoned, researched set of FACTS, presented to the opposition. (the pleasure part comes in watching their response)!

Thanks for this excellent summary and for being gutsy, to boot:)

I know $275 a month is more than some people want to pay but a person making $45,000 a year should be able to afford it.

It's a matter of priorities. $275 p. month would be a hard bite out of a $45k income but it could be done. But when you look into the Frost family a little closer you find they have more going on than a simple $45K income. For starters their background qualifies them for much higher paying careers so that income is a choice. If health care was such a big priority for them they could have tapped their educational and job experience background and gotten it.

And then there's the Democrat message that the current gov welfare program needs to be bigger so people like the Frosts won't go without. But the current program covered them. The whole thing is as phony as a John Kerry war story.

Great work, icwhatudo. You've hit a nerve. You're doing the reporting the American media is unwilling to do. You're also doing the work the Republican Party Leadership (so-called) is unwilling to do. Michelle Malkin is reporting that Sen. Mitch McConnell is "relieved" that he doesn't have to take on the S-Chip ultra-expansion. Remind me, why our Leaders are our Leaders.

And thank you for YOUR straight-forward, unemotional reporting. If you'd flown off the handle or went beyond what you uncovered via Google, you'd been totally fried. That didn't stop them from frying you, but they didn't succeed.

What you've accomplished truly represents the spirit of Free Republic ('97). Thank you my friend.

If Bill Clinton were still President and the Frosts were Republicans supporting a GOP program, he’d have the IRS, FBI, CIA and whoever all over their asses a week ago. Bush will do nothing, which is the right thing, but Hillary would follow Bill without comment from the media (our civil rights protectors).

If I end up paying for your kids’ health insurance, I get to tell you how to raise them (no McDonalds, don’t smoke near them, etc.). It’s only fair in return for your affording that boat motor. :-)

You did a great job of exposing the truth behind the typical liberal story. Every time they try to pull the wool over the eyes of the public with one of these tearjerker anecdotes, their lies need to be exposed.

As a side note, even if 2 of the children were getting some type of tuition assistance, to this taxpayer, that assistance should be viewed as income since that is essentially what it is (unearned as it may be). And as income, it should serve to disqualify the family from benefits for which they MIGHT qualify at a lower income level. It should also be taxed, just as my earnings are taxed.

Didn't Harry Reid hide his shady $1 million land deal behind an LLC?

Why don't we all call Dingbat Harry at 202-224-3542, and find out?

“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was accusing GOP leadership aides of “pushing falsehood” and complained that Republican staffers where passing the information out to reporters.”

When is Harry Reid NOT doing this?

Hey icwhatudo - I had emailed your post to Rush on Saturday. I couldn't believe when he mentioned on Monday that a Freeper emailed him your post on Saturday. It was either me or (I forget the other guy who mentioned he had) but as we all love to do here is poke a finger in the eyes of the lying bum Demoncrats. Here Here!!

keep up the good work Freepers!!! Don't be intimidated!!!

I complained to my congressional rep about his vote for SCHIP. He replied with the canned "for the children" response. He's a dentist. Expanded SCHIP means money in his pocket. When you posted the information about the Frost family, I passed that along to him as a link to the article. Silence. He hasn't responded. I've urged him to sustain Bush's veto. If he caves to the Democrats, he'll have to answer to the voters.

You certainly did my friend.

Kudos to you for your great work and your courage.

It may not be easy, and you may end up under some duress from varying sources. However, hold your ground and let the truth be your ally.
Keep in touch here and let us know if we can help.

I'm not trying get ya paranoid, but you need to watch your back.

If you see anything out of the ordinary headed in your direction, by all means bring it to the attention of authorities, and expose it to the sunlight of a public forum as soon and as often as needed. Also take any personal security measures as you see fit. A number of Freepers can advise you on this.

Good Luck, and God speed

Stand Fast

“Uh, yer welcome, I guess. I was only funnin’ ya’ll, as Hillary would say, “ya know”, but I appreciate being the catalyst for a rant against the lefties.

Great Rant.”

Oh. That actually then is kind of funny then. Take care Freeper.

But the MSM will not cover these facts, only the “fact” that your “entire case” was rebutted by “real” journalists. (But without saying that those “real journalists” were spoon fed lies/misleading statements BY the democrats.)

Presto!

End of problem. As they see it.
