That being said, I'll not desert him just because I disagree with him on a few things; he has to KNOW parts of this bill are unconstitutional; since he knows more than I do about what is "really" going on, I'll have to wait and see what the fall out is. I do have some concern about what Bush vetoing this bill would do to the press and the Dems, who already believe he stole the 2000 election. Imagine what they could do with a veto, not that that is any reason not to.
I don't know about the rest of you all, but there have been times in my life when I have given my word and have had to take it back; until I know all the facts, I'm not going to judge him.
AFTER his statement yesterday, to do anything less than a veto tells me that he has no interest in upholding the Constitution. He will have already publicly admitted as much.
Get in lock-step Howlin...he's been called a LIAR (captial letter emphasis NOT MINE)..so that's reason enough right there not to vote for him anymore...especially to single-issue voters.
It will be interesting should President Bush choose to run in 2004 to see how many of these "he's lost my vote", I'll never vote for him again", etc actually keep their word. If he loses in 04 then so be it. I expect he isn't that worried about it at this time. He'll do what he believes is the correct thing to do and let the chips fall where they may.
Until the rules are published as to how this thing is implemented then no one on this forum knows the details... At that point we'll know how much difference it was from the orginal bill he mentioned in the interview.
