Finally the Republicans in Congress show some responsible solidarity.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Shrugging off a barrage of political attacks, House Republicans are on track to hand President Bush a victory this week by upholding his veto of legislation expanding children's health coverage.
To understand why, consider Utah, where Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch is an outspoken supporter of the measure - and the state's two GOP House members oppose it.
Rep. Rob Bishop called the vetoed bill a "dumb idea" for relying on higher tobacco taxes to pay for insuring children, a provision he said would create a need for new smokers.
