A veto merely angers the media, fires them up, and possibly triggers a third-party run by McCain which could kill us in 2004 (hello, President Hillary Clinton).
Am I disappointed he signed it? Yes. But I am not angry enough to walk away and give the White House to Al Gore or Hillary Clinton.
Ah and the media would NOT be fired up against Republicans if he signs this. SSUUURREEEE. I heard the same thing when GH Bush signed the tax increase.
Alice had a dream too.
