I agree he should never have signed the farm bill, it was an economic nightmare. C'mon, though, he was trying to appear "bipartisan" and "compassionate" to work with Democrats, so he could maintain support so he could advance what he thought were larger issues. If he started vetoing you would brand him a heartless partisan radical right-winger.

Please at least attempt to appear to have a rational agenda beyond trashing Republican authority figures.

You're right. (We didn't like the farm subsidies either, and we didn't like his "pre" 9/11 immigration policies,. hopefully, he won't go back to them. But I see Sen. Hatch out there pushing forward an immigration policy, and though I haven't had enough time to study it, it has its merits, and its pitfalls).

Politics has always been a give and take situation. That's how our different political parties survive. We would live under a dictatorship or a Monarchy if we didn't have a Republic guided by a democratic "form" of governing.

I don't like it at times, and even find it frustrating on occassion. Yet I still marvel at how well it ends up working. "Despite" our differences!! So far.. it is the best form of government on this earth! God Bless it!!
