Strawman.
As you may or may not know, it's pointless to veto something if the Congress can't sustain it.
Then how can you say he fought it? Sounds like that's just giving up to me.
But don't think I don't appreciate the condescending snear that passed as a question. (Condescending smear from Deb follows) And if you really cared about spending (haha), you'd do what Ron Paul requested on Hugh Hewitt's show, "...elect 30 more Republicans so we can save the country from the Democrats."
Did Ms. Cleo tell you how I voted?
(Next condescending smear from Deb) But since you obviously don't understand how the Congress and the two-party system works, it's better that you stay out of the fight all together and wait at your computer for the outcome, so you can take safe cheap shots from the sidelines.
I understand precisely how the two party system works. Looks like it's working great for those wishing to stay in power.
More Conservative Republicans elected? Or less?
Weakening the GOP? Or strengthening?
Backing the President? Attacking?
Being the political genius you obviously are, how do you propose to reduce spending and the government, in the coming election?
You'll use your vote to do what? (That's assuming you aren't the usual FR malcontent who has a big mouth, but doesn't actually vote)
Translation: Do not dare criticize the GOP for anything that they do that is liberal. Even if you voted for them, do not hold their feet to the fire when they stray away from their principles. Thanks for clarifying, Deb.
The curtain is pulled back to reveal yet another blowhard leftist, wearing a "principled conservative" mask.
Was it my love of the Constitution that gave away the fact I'm not a Republican? I should've known.
There are numerous problems with government debt, starting with the fact that it has to be paid back. Money generated by debt is not capital. It represents consumed capital which would otherwise have supported future production. As such, it is the first claim on every future dollar earned, meaning you have to work all that much harder to replenish your capital stock. The U.S. government is so deeply in debt that it is using debt to service debt, meaning that it has COMPLETELY depleted its capital stock. Our future production for many, many years into the future is already mortgaged to the hilt. In order to avoid financial disaster, the U.S. will need to declare its own bankruptcy and allow its creditors to seize its assets.
That explains why you'd jump in with flying fists and painful pinches, instead of acknowledging that the info that started this thread, is admirable.
Seems the principled constitutionalist...fighting for drug rights everywhere...finds it kinda hard to pat GOP backs, even when they fight for a cause you pretend to champion.
Careful, your bong is showing.

I stand by my theory that many of these mice are in reality Democrat operatives who come here to the most powerful political forum in the country to nibble away at Bush however they can. This "principled conservative" stuff is just a handy disguise for them.
Of course, maybe I believe this to be the case because I can't believe that there are so many "principled conservatives" who are such stupid, flaming sphincters.
As soon as you see the term "principled" anything...look for the donkey's tail.
Except where the Farm Bill is concerned.
but iam in no. cal.
Are you serious? Is that really the amount involved? 6 billion dollars is a problem, but raising the debt ceiling half a trillion dollars isn't?
