It is this simple to me....If it makes it through the house and Bush signs it...he loses my vote....if it makes it through the house and Bush Vetos it...he gets my vote. If it dies in the house Bush gets my vote.
The entire bill, including the Feinstein AWB rider, was killed in the Senate just now, 90-8. The Dems were able to load it down with so many poison pills that no one could vote for this turkey.
Bush gets your vote.
Be Seeing You,

I'm very happy that this was killed. I'm sure GW is breathing a sigh that he didn't have to deal with this head on. However, I think this raises a red flag about the effectiveness of our Senate leadership that they could not keep their party in line on these amendments that ultimately killed a bill that the president was pushing hard for.

Bush gets your vote. Not yet. The AWB issue's not done.
I'm hoping he can get my vote, thought.

I understood that Craig and the other pubbies withdrew their support once the messages started coming in on their Blackberries, presumably from Senate leadership after consulting with the WH (at least that what was suggested on FOX). It was really pretty amusing to see Diane Feinstein and Schumer crowing at noon about their "victory" and then having the tables humiliatingly turned on them by having the Republicans all vote against the bill with the AWB provisions in it! Maybe the Dims should have been a little less obvious about their smugness, LOL!
