Jack has an op-ed up today in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on why he voted against the SCHIP re-authorization.

In other developments, Roll Call (subscription required) is reporting that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced Democrats are “not going to compromise” on SCHIP with the President. “If he’s hoping for that, he better hope for something else, like getting our troops home from Iraq,” Reid stated.

So if this is all about “the children” as the Democrats claim; then why postpone a veto override vote? Why refuse to sit down with the President and work something out? Because in reality, it’s about one thing and one thing only: politics. So much for the children.
