How can * claim he wants to protect America when he promises to veto the DHS bill?

[babylonsister]

I realize he needs all the extra money to get/keep his war on, but shouldn't this raise a few Congressional eyebrows?

Bush promises to veto homeland security bill.

Yesterday, the House passed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, despite President Bush’s veto threat. The White House objects to a provision that would require DHS contractors to “pay their employees at least the local prevailing wage.” It also “funds the hiring of 3,000 new border patrol agents, rejects the cuts President Bush sought in the training and equipping of first responders, and improves aviation and port security.”

1. "Pay the local prevailing wage"

there ya go, our embassy in Iraq is being built by imported "slave" labor, Bush is not for anything that gives even a crumb to
those not of his class and privilege.

2. Money is incentive and they're asking Americans to risk their lives.

Surely, with life being valuable, theres would be a fair price involved?

Or is President Bush going to veto it in favor of something that pays a reasonable amount?

3. Bush has no interest in DHS he's only interested in money and oil

I hope that Katrina keeps chasing him.

4. If Bush is serious about PROTECTING AMERICA, he and Cheney would immediately RESIGN

Their Record speaks for itself....it sucks....

5. Because you & me & Mindy the waitress aren't part of his America.

If you don't have $100 million in the bank, you're invisible to him.

6. It is all about the "Upper Class", if you are not worth millions...

you simply don't exist, as far as he's concerned. He's a pig, awash in privledged money, he never had to work a day in his life, never had to get into a job worth working...he's a pig, sucking off the workers.

When he's out, it would be interesting to see if there is a way to strip him of his never earned cash and give it to the homeless he created. Leave Pickles and the turkey baster twins w/nothing so they have to take in laundry to pay for a meal...maybe then they would understand.

Put the bastard on a chain gan in Southern TX, no water, no food, just a pick and some pissed off people and venomous critters...:D
