And don't forget the oriental garden for the new CDC visitor's center... You know...they have created "nonpartisan" Base Closure Commissions for making difficult decisions that elected officials lack the 'nads to make. I wonder if the President could appoint a "nonpartisan" commission to decide which spending to accept. Veto everything else! It could provide political cover to everyone involved (they really are cowards!)
There is precedent of this working on the Military Base Closures.....

Looks like the RNC recieved a lot of their money-raising surveys back with notes saying no more money UNTIL you do these things . . .

The measure also would permit exploratory oil drilling in an Alaskan wilderness (search) area.

I think the reason Bush doesn't veto is not because he's not conservative enough, but because he's just a nice guy. Ever heard him speak badly of ANYONE but a terrorist?
He won't veto this.

are these cuts actual cuts, or simply "not as big a spree as projected"-cuts?

If we do that, why bother to elect Senators and Congresscritters at all?
To: Lucky2
Finally, the republicans have gotten the message...we hope!LOL..it just so happens I was called by the RNC this afternoon for what she called an "Emergency Donation Request" of $100 or more.
I told her "not a dime as long as this bunch spends worse than democrats".
Looks like it's working already :)

Stop voting for anyone who votes for a bill with pork in it. Are there any bills that are kosher?

"giving Republicans a symbolic victory against ever-rising government spending."
If it was a democrat-controlled congress and presidency that was doing all of the spending in the first place, this would be a symbolic victory. When republicans are the ones doing the spending, a 36 Billion dollar cut in spending is an insult to our intelligence.
