1. but the house didn't have a veto proof vote.

[rodeodance]

6. I believe House had 265. What is the magic veto prof #?

[hfojvt]

10. I believe 290 n/t

[pinto]

11. I believe it's 287 (2/3 of full House - 435)

[malaise]

13. Isn't it 290?

two thirds of 435.

[LakeSamish706]

Where does that leave a possible Veto by "asswipe"? n/t

[rodeodance]

4. its in his court.

[rodeodance]

2. umm. 4 senators not voting.

[still_one]

3. so bush will veto it, they will probably negotiate with the Democrats that if they can invade Iran

bush will sign it

[Bluzmann57]

5. Good

Even a right winger like Grassley supported this bill. Now when bush vetoes it, he will look like he hates kids, at least lower income kids. He does, but this should confirm it.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

7. Oh. I can't wait until BUSHCO vetoes this!!!!

:rofl:

[halobeam]

9. You have more confidence than I do, that he'll REALLY be held accountable for this.;

He doesn't give a flying shit. He'll veto it. Next?

That's all there is to it.

or is THIS what will take him down?

I'm not directing the sarcasm at you. I'm just sitting here, wishing I could be as healthy, getting a laugh out of how his true colors will show. I can't laugh anymore, and I know it's my problem.

More power to ya, sincerely! Maybe I just need a break for a bit.:hi:

[jazzjunkysue]

8. 67 is 2/3's. Should be veto proof.

Nto that the chimp knows the difference.

"Ah'm the dee-sah-der!"

[Debi]

14. I think it has to be both chambers and the House is 20-some-odd votes short

Let * veto it and see who won't vote against him to insure our children.

[pinto]

15. Exactly.

[spanone]

12. KICK

[ProSense]

16. Veto-proof, despite 29 Roadblock Republicans
