I heard on the radio this morning that Bush has threatened to veto the transportation bill if it shows up with the Dorgan Amendment attached. This should be interesting

I would be LIVID. Sometimes I wonder why I even register with & vote for Republicans anymore.

I need to correct my misstatement about what I heard on the radio. I actually heard two statements, in the same news report, purportedly from the Administration.

Substantially they were: (1) The President would veto the transportation bill if it contained provisions for spending more than he had requested, as is apparently the case now; and, (2) The Administration is opposed to any restrictions on Mexican cross-border truck traffic.

My apologies for the error.

As for voting Republican, I concur; it can be very frustrating. It will not be easy to turn the Republican Party into an American party, but, I think we can do it. Our only other option is to build a new party which will supplant the Republicans.
