All this fuss over around 6 billion?

I find that amusing as nobody was making a damn peep over the hundreds of billions that made it past the veto pen.

If this does get vetoed, at least we would know that the current executive is capable of vetoing something. This would be the very first presidential veto of any bill, much less any big spending bill.

Yowza! The political implications here are huge!

Obviously there's a "take back the Senate" flavor to this, but it also makes a fine House campaign issue.

Also, the prospect of (finally) some open cooperation between Congressional Republicans and the WH could have some real benefits (and also political ones) with regard to tax cuts, etc.

Which plays into presidential politics, etc.

And then there's the implications for the Supreme Court and other judicial nominations. The "obstructionist" charge is already hurting the D's, and a further "spendthrift" label hurts them more. They'll roll over on judges before the elections.

Notwithstanding Cox's comment, the actual letter is pretty
lame. It says they will sustain a veto if the supplementary bill is
too large. It says absolutely nothing about the farm bill,
drug benefits, etc etc which can be 10 trillion dollars so
far as this letter is concerned.

Chairman Cox said. “Our pledge lets President Bush and our conferees know that they have full authority to save taxpayers billions of dollars. It creates a House-White House alliance in support of the bipartisan House bill, approved 280-138 on May 24.”

Bumping for later comments.

"If your Representative is on this list, call or email your congratulations and support..."

I'll be meeting my Congressman [#24. Eric Cantor] on Monday and will vocalize my support at that time...great to see GOP folks with some spine to withstand the urge to grow the government uncontrollably.

FReegards...MUD

Just let Sam Johnson (R-TX) that I appreciate his effort to limit the budget (although this is peanuts compared to the rampant waste my hard earned tax dollars enable).

I'd love to see Bush trash the Senate.

They need to hear from us when we support what they're doing, rest assured those on the list will be hearing from the other side.

More than 145 Representatives—more than enough to sustain a Presidential veto—have pledged to uphold a veto of supplemental spending legislation that busts the budget, House Policy Chairman Christopher Cox (R-CA) announced today.

“The Senate’s failure to pass a budget has left it to the House and to the President to take more responsibility to control spending,” Chairman Cox said. “Our pledge lets President Bush and our conferees know that they have full authority to save taxpayers billions of dollars. It creates a House-White House alliance in support of the bipartisan House bill, approved 280-138 on May 24.”

What a crock!

$320 Billion GOP Prescription Drug Bill Passes House

By resorting to shameless pandering and lying, I suppose we are once again, "Taking the Democrats' issues AWAY!™"

Sheesh.

134. Charles Stenholm

Ping for "bi-partisanship".

Charlie Stenholm is my Congressman, and this should have a (D-Tex) after his name.
