Bush is a man of his word though. If it makes it to his desk, he'll sign it. Odd that one of the things I like about him is also one of those things that could keep me from voting for him.
It's up to the House and Senate committees to bury it deep. The Hate America First crowd is gonna make that tough to do though.
You're right that Bush would likely sign it if it came to him - he's yet to veto ANYTHING. I do, however, think that it is buried VERY deep right now, and only 5 legislative days isn't enough time to get it passed in the Senate, taken to conference committee - with the House Conferees agreeing - then back to the Senate and the House for floor votes. I just don't think that it'll happen.
However, that is no excuse for any of us to slack off in our phone calls or letter writing - we can't reduce the pressure!
