And they act surprised. . .

Eight years to find the pen.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Oh no! Now BIG FARM is out for me!

Well, whaddya know? George finally found his veto stones -- it took him only 7.5 years....

It seems so long ago, when George sold himself as the conservative candidate of choice. Most of us bought it (myself included), but what a disappointment, fiscally speaking.

[Irish Rose]

Six years.

When the veto override gets passed and neither gas or food prices lower President Bush can say, “I told you so”.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

...Congress is asking families to pay more in subsidies to wealthy farmers at a time of record farm profits.

Class warfare from the President?

Life just keeps getting weirder.

He vetoed the stupid SCHIP bill as well. Better late than never, I guess.

Absolutely! Good job President Bush!

[acapesket]

Wouldn’t this be the perfect opportunity for The Republican House Members to show us how serious they are about sticking to their new found Conservative Manifesto.
WHY DON”T THESE SPINELESS MORONS SUPPORT THIS VETO?

Nah... never happen!

From the article...

"It was the 10th veto of Bush's presidency".

LOL, read much?

[Jim Hill]

From the article: “ . . . almost $30 billion would go to farmers to idle their land . . . “

This is nonsensical to me.

[BARLF]

Bash Bush, it’s the in thing.

[L98Fiero]

All the cool kids are doing it. :P

An interesting phenomenon. A couple of years ago it was not uncommon to see sarcastic “Bush’s Fault” posts in response to the propencity of liberals to blame Bush for everything.

My how far FR has come. We are Devo.

Your post is weird. Read the word "subsidies"...

[Just A Nobody]

It was the 10th veto of Bush's presidency.

READING COMPREHENSION? -- Get some!

[Just A Nobody]

My how far FR has come.

Yeppers! One of the reasons I don't hang out here as much these days. I can go anywhere for the BDS take of the day.

The first veto wasn’t that long ago. It was the stem cell bill in 2006.
