Newt Gingrich on H & C tonight (paraphrased as closely as I can...hopefully there will be a transcript later):

On the big issues he campaigned on, taxes, the military, social security reform, I haven't seen him give one inch. He did give up vouchers, but I still think he thinks the education bill is a pretty good piee of legislation. On CFR, sometimes you get in a position where there is no good choice, and you have to make a decision. Would I have preferred a veto? Sure. I think they made a calculated decision that this was not worth the cost on other issues, and I think that is a perfectly honorable decision.

Newt is now talking about the 60-day thing. Colmes is going on and on about the President signing this bill and basically showing me that the Rats are in their plan B. Plan A was if he vetoed it. Plan B is to use it to divide the base. Apparently a lot of people are falling into the rat trap.

Newt says that any serious conservative who would walk away from a President who is the best chance we have had in over a generation to get reform on social security and taxes is not a serious conservative. He says that that if you disagree on issues, of course speak out and let your opinion be known, but he is the captain of the team.

Im watching too and you are correct...this is plan B...like I said on an earlier post, the RATS can now sit back and watch us self destruct without lifting a finger.

Apparently FR has become infested with sheeple.

The rat trap arrived via Enron. The rat trap shut when the House and the Senate voted and passed it. They are to blame, each and every one that voted for this. Now that the trap is well under way, the way out is a VETO.

What the rats did not think, was President Bush would be so popular as long as he has. Which is why Rush has it right, Bush walks on water and American people will be glad he vetoed it. He has to start telling the people why it is so bad and over and over and he has to do it now. He should remember what happened to Pickering, by waiting so long.

The veto would do the rats in. I do agree with Rush.
