There has been so much Bush-bashing here lately, that several times I thought I had gone to DU by mistake.
I don't like the loopholes in 245(i) that apparently allows illegals who snuck across the border to jump through a few hoops and become legalized. Neither do I agree with that part of CFR that limits free speech, but I do agree that it would be a waste of political capital to veto what the SC will surely over-ride.
If Bush vetoes CFR, the democrats will have a hey-day with claims that Bush was anti-CFR, and the general population of voters will never know that the only reason he vetoed it was because it violated free speech -- not after the Dems and the liberal media get through with their PR.
To all those who claim to be 'former Bush supporters', but are now ready to jump ship, I have to ask if perhaps you weren't the RINO, who used the excuse of two, albeit, major issues to put Hillary or Gore or Daschle at the helm.
I never expected to have a president whose policies I was in total agreement with. Plus, I have to allow that we are not privy to all the intricacies of politics and how each issue must be weighed from all sides. So I am willing to allow him a bit of slack and even allow him to make mistakes, because I never expected him to be perfect.
Please keep my son in mind when you next vote, for he is in the military, and Thank God our current administration strives to keep our men and women out of harms way as we fight this ongoing battle against terrorists around the world. I have no faith that a Dem administration would have the same care of our men and women in uniform. (Actually, they showed what they thought of the military during Clinton's eight years, followed by the military vote farce in Florida.)
