Friend, if Bush had of vetoed CFR, it would have been as dead as a doornail.
That's YOUR opinion, and you opinion only.
CFR had the support of a majority of the people in the U.S., and was six votes away from a two thirds majority in the Senate.
The house was just about a dozen votes shy.
Like it or not, CFR would have eventually passed.
One other thing, so would have the drug entitlement programs.
Your problem isn't that you don't like Bush, your problem is that you can't face reality.
John Kerry is campaigning on his Vietnam record because he can't campaign on Bush opposing campaign finance, and old people not getting their prescriptions. He can't campaign on how bad the economy is, and he can't campaign on the sorry shape of our schools. He can't even truly campaign on insurance becase it's in actually better shape than it was under Clinton.
Is this a Marathon? Did you guys even sleep?
