PBA was being pushed by the voters for years before GWB. It is NOT "his" issue.

Huh??? Whatever teach stomp your feet, hope you don't have such temper tantrums in front of your students.

Oh BTW, teach, Bush did say during the 2000 campaign that he would sign it, what did Gore say?

Read it again... 10-10-98 and 4-10-97... Passed BOTH Houses... Veto Override vote passes the House BOTH times, and the Senate missed the Override by a handful each time. That Override thing... that's 67 Senators required, by the way, not just 50. It was on the radar for most Americans and the majority of elected representatives before GWB came along.

You are right on one count, though... I did just find a reference to GWB supporting PBA during the campaign. Still, that seems to indicate that he was supporting an issue that was already receiving STRONG support in the electorate AND in both Houses of Congress. Again, that does not make it "his" issue.
