Health Care for Children or War in Iraq

On Wednesday August 1, 205 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted against providing funds for Children's Health Care. Most of these same Republicans voted to spend more billions to fight a war in Iraq which most Americans believe not to be in our best interests. Does this seem incongruous to anyone except me?The President has promised to veto the bill because it breaks the budget he wants. As for the war in Iraq, the funding is not included in the budget and is provided by supplemental bills for which there seems to be no limit. How can we allow these grotesque actions to continue without our protestations? Is there anyone out there who sees what I see?
