Hillary's EXCELLENT Statement on The GOP's Frost Family Attacks

Kudos to HRC from a guy who is NOT a big fan and prolly won't vote for her in the Florida primary but she does good here:

“It pains me that in our country we have 9 million children without health insurance and now we have a President who doesn’t think they need health insurance. I thought I’d seen the depth of political partisanship and mean spiritedness but the Republicans and their right wing allies have really taken the cake this time.

There was a young boy who was 12 years old named Graeme Frost. He was in a bad car accident and he didn’t have health insurance but thankfully he had a program that I helped start in 1997 with Ted Kennedy and others called SCHIP. So Graeme was able to get health care, good health care, that made a tremendous difference in the outcome of his injuries. So when the President vetoed the extension of SCHIP, Graeme and his family stepped forward to illustrate why it was so important….

And boy the whole Republican and right wing attack machine went into overdrive. And they said ‘well, they have a house’ – yeah, I guess they could sell their house to give their child insurance.

I don’t mind if they pick on me. They’ve done it for years. I think I’ve proven I can take care of myself. But George Bush and the Republicans should lay off Graeme Frost and all the other millions of American children getting their insurance from SCHIP.”

without reservation.

It is amazing how evil that Republican attack machine is. Just when you think they can't get any slimier they reach new levels.

Great statement. :applause:

The only thing I'd add is "And I'll decline to introduce a meaningless Senate resolution condemning the likes of Michelle Malkin and the rest of the attack machine. The American people understand how despicable their attack is, and I urge them to take note of the Republicans standing with the assailants of an injured 12-year-old."

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

This boy faced serious medical care, and they wanted him to lose his house where his family, would then be out on the streets. I'm sure the right-wingers would show compassion for them then.

Right-wingers are just mean sons of bitches who should be on a watch list, because you never know where their hate will take them next.

:mad:

these beasts have no conscience.
