President Bush NEVER lied to us. He NEVER said he would veto this bill. In fact he specifically told Republican leaders they should NOT count on a veto. He hasn't backtracked from anything on CFR he would have reason to regret later. This morning I remember saying flatly the President would sign this. If the President had said the outset he would veto this, the White House statement released this evening would have indeed looked like the President went back on his word. The way I see it is yes there's no question the President is in the wrong and needs to be opposed by all of us not for the sake of party but for the sake of the Constitution he failed to uphold. President Bush's been chatised and from now on conservatives will support him not because he can be counted on do the right thing all the time but because he's the simply the lesser of two evils. And as disappointed as I am by what the President announced he would do tonight, I also know the Rats don't care a bone in their body about the Constitution or anything else but power. They still need to be stopped and I will continue to be a committed Republican more than ever. I will work to get true conservatives elected to office and work to make sure the RINOs as well as the Rats are gone from the halls of power. That's how I intend to hold President Bush accountable in the future to the base. Yes, its painful for all of us to lose a battle but we have to dust off our hurt, anger and disappointment and continue to fight the war for freedom til it is won. The stakes have never been higher. God Bless America.

Sad but true.

Absolutely! I know this will sound quite ironic now, but ...

Let's roll!
