* threatening veto Torture Bill NOT the first threat of veto from him
Remember everyone the first bill he threatened to veto?

I'll give you a hint: "I voted for it before I voted against it"

Remember that ad, remember the smirking scumfucks when they gleefully used that against Kerry?

Well it was in reference to when

BUSH THREATENED TO VETO A BILL BY KERRY THAT WOULD'VE SENT $87 BILLION TO THE WAR EFFORT VIA LOANDS INSTEAD OF A COMPLETE HAND-OUT /YR

"White House officials issued the warning even though many lawmakers agree that the bill's final version is likely to bow to President Bush and omit any loans. By underscoring Bush's opposition to loans, the administration threat could make it easier for congressional Republican leaders to nail down enough votes to help the president prevail."

The Rest here:

1. True, he did threaten
to veto that and the Senate backed down....

this time, however, the Repubs in the Senate called his bluff AND they have the votes to OVERRIDE HIS VETO.... 90-9.

2. That ship has sailed, but it doesn't hurt to remind them of it.

3. Commander in Chief advocates torture - has he no shame?
This issue would have finished any other administration. They wonder why "they hate us." Doesn't it make one ashamed they dare to call themselves a "free country" defending "liberty?"
