McCain has GW exactly where he wants him. Approval causes 20-30 points drop in approval rating because of loss of base support. Veto causes 20-30 points drop in approval rating because of media outcry. Result, GW serves one term and McCain is shoe in for 2004 since the media, rats, and half of the pubbies love him.

It's absolutely true that President Bush is d@mned if he signs, and d@mned if he vetos.
Consequences of signing bill= accusations which we see here.
Consequences of vetoing bill= accusations of coverup, with Enron as the rallying cry.

We already know that McTraitor and Dasshole are bosom buddies. We already know how they feel about President Bush: Mctraitor said after the 2000 election that he had "a mandate." Dasshole hates Bush's guts and wants to take his job in 2004. Of course, McInsane wishes to become our first mad dictator in 2004.

I really REALLY wish that, at the very last minute, President Bush will suddenly reveal that, out of concern for his constituents, he has READ the offending passages, and he cannot, in good consience, sign this bill as it is written.

That's wrong. Many conservatives won't abandon Bush on principle. Bush can do anything he wants and conservatives will whimper about it for a few minutes and forget all about it and rush to Bush's defense NO MATTER WHAT -- much like Clinton's impeachment-time supporters.
