IMO, here is the bottom line:
"The purpose of the emergency war spending bill I requested was to provide our troops with vital funding. Instead, Democrats in the House, in an act of political theater, voted to substitute their judgment for that of our military commanders on the ground in Iraq."
by President Bush in response to the 218-212 vote
Yes, that's your opinion but what do you think will be the headlines and stories in the next 48-72 hours about this? That quote went from being all he had and should have said, to being a quote that will be overlooked to go after the Pork reasoning.
I guarantee you, at least 1 if not all 3 of the majors have a story about Bush rubber stamping every pork bill in his presidency to this one in the can already. He gave them an unnecessary and unneeded opening to criticize him, and on a area he is particularly weak. He should have just stuck to his strength 100% IMHO...
We'll see.
WILL NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON?????
