'This Family Earns $34,000 Has 1 Car and Rents'
October 17, 2007 8:27 AM
The Democrats have found a new poster child for their campaign to expand SCHIP. She is 2 year old Bethany Wilkerson from Tampa, Florida. She was born with a serious heart condition and depends on SCHIP for her health care. Today the family will meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then hold a brief news conference.
The last time the Democrats did this, they exposed a 12 year old Baltimore, Maryland boy, Graeme Frost and his family, to vicious bloggers who savaged them on the internet even though they had their facts all wrong.
Last evening a hill staffer said the Democrats had carefully vetted this family and added, "THIS FAMILY EARNS $34,000, HAS 1 CAR and RENTS."
