The only weapons against the Democrats is the filibuster in the Senate and presidential veto.

It is very dangerous to have the Dems in power -- just imagine what they WILL do, if we have a Dem president and a filibuster proof Dem Senate.

Most of the Democrats' bills won't make it past the Senate. Those that do will die from a presidential veto.

I'm happy to hear this, but like most others am disappointed it took a Dem takeover to get to this.

He gave them plenty when they were the minority.

I doubt he will veto. It is not in tune to the "new tone" ignoramous strategy.

He will only veto bills that hurt open border globalism or stops the North American Union!

I bet he will defend America's borders, culture, and language - and veto Ted Kennedy's upcoming illegal-alien-amnesty and 3rd-world-migration-explosion bill.

Just kidding.

Why did they say "vetoes"? As far as I know there has been only one.

Did Georgie grow some conjones in the last few days? Or is he through kissing the Mexican President's ass long enough to notice that he might disagree with the demonrats' agenda to make the USA the USSA???

What does President Bush have to lose by using his veto power? Is the media going to turn against him?!?!?

Good for Bush.

Clinton did not veto a single bill in his first 2 years with a Dem congress...the mere threat of a veto was effective for him (and Bush 43) in getting changes made before bills have been passed.

Bush won't cave to public opinion...if the Dems are successful in manhandling congress the white house will be flowing in red ink.

I would rather have "actual veto's" of Democratic legislation! The minority Republican Congress must also actually get around to finally growing a political backbone for always!
