I don't think that GW Bush would ever have the guts or courage to use the veto pen, ESPECIALLY if the DimWits controlled either the Senate or the House. Bush has an overriding obsession to pander & capitulate & appease those on the LEFT who despise & revile him. The only critics that he publicly chastises & scorns is his conservative majority base that elected him for two terms. We thought we were getting a conservative.... what we actually got is a bona fide CINO and big government spender and one-world globalist. GW Bush doesn't have the guts or courage to enforce our nation's immigration laws, deport the illegal immigrants or build an effective fence to stop the illegals... I don't care if we don't stop 100% of them... I would settle for stopping 95-98% at this time.
Bottom line is, there is not a bill that reaches his desk that he isn't eager to sign.
He was going to use it for the ports deal.
For ports, yes; against pork, no. How sad.
