If the war on terror is so important, why does Bush keep vetoing defense bills? |
|
You'd think that if the war was that important we could attach things like hate crime laws, infrastructure repairs, welfare, and Bush would say "OK" and sign it.
I say we make Bush choose between funding this war or giving his conservative allies what they want.

4. That's Not How An Imperial Executive Works... |
|
The manchild demands total compliance. He got it for his first 6 years...a rubber stamp House & Senate and a compromised judiciary. He now believes he's above law and reason...that his word is law and rule by fiat trumps rule by legislation or consensus.
Our problem isn't this regime...we know what they'll do...we know it's not popular. It's how the corporate media continues to enable this regime...especially in the portrayal of what's going on in Iraq. Attack riders and provisions to the military spending bill and watch how the corporate media will focus on how Democrats are anti-military, un-patriotic and so forth rather than to stand up for what the trade-offs are for and about. They'll misrepresent and always spin the way this regime wants it.
Lastly, with the ability to veto and over-ride, his assholiness thinks this makes him and his repugnican asshats look "tough"...no matter what it obstructs or ruins. He wants what he wants and how he wants it. And, hopefully the American people see it for what it is...and turn out his repugnican protectors this fall. The more Americans suffer, the more they're seeing through the games of this regime and the GOOP. Sadly, it's 8 years too late.
