Conservative bloggers, talk show hosts, columnists – well, conservatives – are being assaulted across the board for openly criticizing the use of a twelve year old by the Democrat Party to espouse their falsehoods about the S-CHIP program. Democrat politicians recoil “in horror” that conservative “vindictiveness” would single out Graeme Frost to point out the discrepancies of the Democrats’ hyperbole.
Graeme Frost is the twelve year old who Democrats used to respond to President Bush’s veto of the children’s health care program expansion. The Democrats trot out anyone they please to be the mouthpiece for their falsehoods, then act oh-so self-righteous when their claims are challenged. Democrat liberals still fail to comprehend the difference between debating issues and assaulting character. They consistently fail at the former and make the latter their practiced art.
The fact is that young Master Frost is the recipient of the S-CHIP program as it is currently crafted. The Democrat message that he was coached to parrot – that the President’s veto prevents other children like him from receiving health care through the program – is patently false. The program works! He received health care coverage under the S-CHIP program! (Interestingly, Master Frost’s self-employed father opts to not purchase health care coverage. I suppose I can understand his decision. Why give up family vacations and such for some inconvenient necessity like health care coverage? After all, someone else can be coerced to pick up the tab). The President’s veto does not eliminate the current program. Indeed, the President would not have vetoed a bill calling for a more limited expansion. But Democrat leadership insists on expanding it to families who can afford health care coverage as well as to adult “children” as old as 25 years of age. Can we say “expanded entitlements” boys and girls?
Because of this veto, Democrats and their liberal cronies are howling their heads off about the lack of compassion among conservatives. Of course, this, too, is a falsehood. Productive conservatives demonstrate their compassion on a daily basis. We are, after all, paying for Graeme Frost’s health care.
How to anger a conservative: Tell her a lie.
How to anger a liberal: Tell him the truth.
