The President had an obligation and a duty to veto this very flawed bill. Just saying that there are problems is easy. Doing the right thing is sometimes hard. Theories of brilliant political strategy taking place by signing this bill are no comfort to me. He had a responsibility that he did not fulfill.

Although still my President, he has been diminished in my eyes for not taking a more principled stand. I expected better.

Now if he signs an illegal alien amnesty, he will no longer get my vote in 2004. That is because taking two non principled stands in a row tells me he is no longer trustworthy with the office he holds.

Abrogation of free speech and an unwillingness to defend this nation from an illegal alien invasion are two extremely important items that will determine whether this Republic survives in the 21st century. If he doesn't see it, he won't be getting any support from me.

You might as well bail now; he made an unprincipled decision on funding stem cell research. In spite of the fact he cut off FUTURE funding, he was still willing to fund EXISTING lines of embryonic stem cells, thus leaving the door open to expanding funding in the future. I plan to vote 3rd Party (or is it 2nd Party).

Well, with touch-screen voting likely in the near-future, it is likely that our votes won't matter.
