REPUBLICANS COMPLAIN ABOUT SCHIP SHUTOUT

The Democrats have another plan about SCHIP. Even though their second version passed both houses a few weeks ago, the Democrats have not sent it to the President. They are still trying to win enough votes to override a Presidential veto. If they can't do that, they are thinking about just extending it until the end of the fiscal year, which will be September 30, 2008, then bringing it up again for a vote. The idea is that this would force Republicans to either back the Democrats version or vote against a popular bill. Democrats are pretty devious.
