The number of Ford boosters who have appeared on FR is mindboggling.

I don't consider them Ford boosters. They're just appreciative a man who had class & dignity, and was a helluva athlete to boot too.

At least Ford knew where the veto pen was.

Groveling to the Soviets isn't dignified. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

A GOP President serving at a time when the House and Senate are both solidly Democrat will naturally have no qualms in using his veto pen - it bolsters his support among the GOP delegation in the House and Senate.

A GOP President serving for six years with a GOP majority House and Senate does no good going to war with his own party by vetoing legislation passed by the GOP delegation.

Think before you speak.
