Then you're in the minority.

Remember campaign finance reform, something Bush was supposedly against when he ran in 2000?

I don't know about you, but I vote for Republicans who say they'll hold the line on spending, hoping that they will keep their word. As of yet, I haven't seen a spending bill that Bush hasn't liked since he hasn't vetoed any.

Well, I vote based on national security. That is MY number one issue, and President Bush has done very well with it. As a bonus I got lower taxes, no Kyoto, two good Supreme Court Justices, and a lot of roll-back on environmental stuff.

If you want to hold down spending, I suggest you turn your eyes to the House and Senate. I don't expect ANY President to veto a spending bill submitted by his own party, particularly when the votes for an override are there.

MikeA: I don't feel 'kicked' by him.

tabsternager: Then you're in the minority.

So, tabsternager, you know this, how, precisely?

I don't feel kicked by him either. I'm damned proud of him and of my votes for him. I'd vote for him again in a heartbeat if it were possible.

"Then you're in the minority."


So you've done a poll have you? Sorry, but Bush still has approval numbers in the 70% range among Republicans so it's you and the other extremist absolutist far right wingers who are in the minority.

How many did Reagan veto? The President doesn't have the line-item veto, does he? I'm sure he, like Reagan before him, doesn't think it best to completely stop a full budget in its tracks.
