U. S. House dares President Bush and passes SCHIP he already vetoed. Why can't they "act their ages and NOT their shoe sizes" in Washington?

The U. S. House of Representatives has dared President Bush once again and passed a non veto proof SCHIP he already vetoed.

The President has promised to veto the bill once again.

It seems to me that Democrats, rather than daring Bush on SCHIP, need to be trying to compromise with Republicans to pass a MUTUALLY acceptable plan to take care of our children.

Why can't they ALL "act their ages and NOT their shoe sizes" in Washington?

But then again, we are talking about Washington!
