He [Keyes] advocated REPARATIONS.

I wonder if Keyes' version of Reparations would cost as much as Bush's Prescription Drug Entitlement will.

And, I wonder which (if any) of the two programs is Constitutional.

And I wonder if Bush will ever veto anything...

Thankfully, we won;t have to worry about Alan's reparations.

The Prescription Drugs are LAW.

And, I guess you'll have to keep wondering about a veto.

Apples and oranges.

Evidently at least 50 Republicans were for the drug program.

and ZERO Republicans (except for Keyes, who doesn't have a vote) were for reparations.

Before I go, one last post on substance, since substance is so sorely lacking on this thread:

As expected, Bush backed away from what a year earlier were labeled as the two great initiatives of his second term. He complained that "Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security," unintentionally setting off self-congratulatory celebration by Democrats on the floor. But Bush made no promises about trying to revive his personal accounts. The president did not even give the comprehensive tax reform the courtesy of a death notice. It went unmentioned and apparently unmourned.
