Band of sissies realizes elections are around the corner. What a pack of spineless turds.
snip:
In its statement on the veto threat, the White House said the measure would "restrict the president's authority to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack and bringing terrorists to justice."

Terrorists are rejoicing, that the US CONGRESS is going out of their way to protect the terrorists, instead of the American people.
I don't think Bush is aware he even has Veto power.
Laugh if you want to, but this vote was brought to us courtesy of the New York Times, et al.
Mr. President:
You know how you've never used your veto pen? Here's a damn good time to try it.
Who are the 10 patriots??
Has this made it through the House yet?
What a breakthrough in genetic engineering that would be. Next thing you know they'd be regenerating spines in Congress.
Maybe Bush will finally veto something???
This is total crap. These worthless Senators are more worried about our enemies than they are our own troops.
What a bunch of wussies! I met several of my son's fellow Marines last weekend at a welcome home party for my son and let me tell you. Anyone of these fine young men are more valuable to our country than the entire worthless Senate put together.
(1) Without knowing what the "old" and "new" restrictions are, any reaction to this is only a brainless knee jerk;
(2) I would be very surprised if there is not a clause in there to the effect of "except with the President's personal permission."
Made sure they got their bunker in place.
We are truly F'in F..F'd. and on our own. These senators don't give a damn whatsoever for our National Security, for our families, for our lives and America.
According to 90 senators, they ordained one little hair of a nasty slimey vermin infested scum murdering butchering terrorist bastard lowlife savage gets harmed mentally or physically.
American Citizens are expendable I guess in the senators view.
on every issue - we pay the price for not having an effective communications and political operation. daily pounding by the MSM about "torture" everywhere, most freepers downplay it because the "MSM is dead" they claim - well they aren't, and here is the proof, almost the sntire republican caucus votes for this.
Not a problem, send them back to those that would kill them after a fair trial.
Senators can't be recalled. They serve out their entire terms.
I can't stand McCain! He is a LUNATIC & obviously has a bunch of girlie men following him. I'm sure TERRORISTS would limit their interrogation tactics because the United States played nice! /sarcasm
Hello, IDIOTS, this is how we ended up with thousands of innocent people killed by these murderers!
The girls in the senate have spoken, with predictable results. I am really starting to despise these useless gasbags.
My reserve unit doesn't have any funding to bring in pilots to maintain currency. That's on top of pulling funds in the middle of August of the last fiscal year.
Are you freakin' kidding?? It's a spending bill - there's zero chance he'll veto it and a pretty good chance he'll add more spending.
NAYs ---9

Coincidentally, the only people I respect are in the nay column.
Aside from these nine, every other damn Senator can go to hell. Lose their elections for all I damn well care at this point. If Republicans in Congress cannot even stand strong in the WOT, we're about through.
Thanks a lot for nothing.
