Bush Sends Letters of Warning to Pelosi, Reid

In the wake of the re-introduction of the Freedom of Choice Act and following the urging of minority Republicans, Bush has issued letters of warning to Pelosi and Reid about what type of language ends up in amendments.

Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid received letters from Pres. George W. Bush stating his intent to veto any legislation produced by Congress designed to protect a woman's right to medical treatment.
...
"I will veto any legislation that weakens current federal policies and laws on abortion, or that encourages the destruction of human life at any stage," Bush wrote in the letter.

[waiting for hope]

1. IMPEACH the SOB already.

ENOUGH - I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

[AndyA]

7. DITTO!

This has gone way past enough. It is negligence at this point if they don't impeach.

[waiting for hope]

10. After last nights St. Ronnie Circle

Jerk fest (tnks to Husb2Sparkly for that one!), I think it should be apparent to Reid and Pelosi that the RW is seriously crippled. Chop the head(s) off!

[rasputin1952]

19. Isn't there a law against killing shitweasels?

But in this case, a medal might be more appropriate...:D

[sellitman]

The St. Ronnie Circle Jerk Fest?

lmao!!!!!!!!!

You win!

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. The Littlest Dictator has spoken!

He doesn't care what Congress says, yet alone what we say! He is a rogue!

[marylanddem]

2. I really think he is insane.

[Beaverhausen]

21. I agree. He is living in a bubble with no thought to what americans really want

Those advising him are also nuts.

Reid and Pelosi won't stand for it.

[maveric]

3. "or that encourages the destruction of human life at any stage," ????

WTF!!! He's responsible for more destruction of human life than anyone else since the early 1940's.
He's once again pandering to his base. The hateful and ignorant religious wingnuts.
What an evil asshole!

[Aristus]

8. I'm sure that will be amended to read: "life at any stage before birth."

:mad:

[LSparkle]

16. ASS OF EVIL!

That's what he is ...

How DARE he lecture them (even in print) about what kind of LANGUAGE goes into bills, when he has the effing GALL to call HIS proposals things "No Child Left Behind" (what a JOKE), "Healthy Forests Initiative" (yeah, RIGHT) and "Clean Skies Act" (NOT!).

:argh:

[Robbien]

4. How often does Bush send letters to Congress

this is all showboating for the rabid right.

[marylanddem]

5. He is BEGGING to be impeached. Can't we help him out?

[Nite Owl]

13. Reminds me of a little

child, testing the limits.

[indepat]

6. If only life outside the womb meant a tinker's damn to right-to-lifers who support

pre-emptive wars of aggression.

[waiting for hope]

9. Thank you.....

Claiming Compassionate Conservatism, my ass.

[Fridays Child]

11. War encourages the destruction of life at EVERY stage. eom

[Laurab]

34. Indeed it does although we sometimes forget.

EVERY stage - unborn children, pregnant women, young children, every single stage of life there is, and so many innocent civilians. Yet the idiot son "sleeps very well at night", per a recent "People" magazine interview. Must be because he's so conservative with his compassion.

[bluethruandthru]

12. He'll veto anything that encourages

destruction of life at any stage??? I guess the death penalty is history, right georgie?

[AndyA]

14. I'm still waiting for my DOCTOR Congressman Tom Coburn to explain to me

when a life becomes worthless.

The Republicans think nothing of forcing a female to have a baby if she gets pregnant. How she got pregnant apparently doesn't matter to many of them. If she was forcibly raped by her Father, Brother, Uncle, or the gang of hoodlums down the street, it matters not.

But pity that child once it's born. Being born into poverty isn't a problem. Nor is a lousy education in the public school system. Lack of medical care is also no big deal. And sending them off to war to be slaughtered by IEDs is also perfectly fine.

Coburn hasn't responded to any of my 3 inquiries asking exactly when a human life becomes worthless. Whether it be when the water breaks, when the cord is cut, or at some later point.

They are all hypocrites. I cannot stand them. IMPEACH! IMPEACH!! IMPEACH!!!

And if there's a God in Heaven, may he make sure there is NEVER another Republican in the White House. EVER.

[alstephenson]

15. What an insufferable hypocrite!!!

Fucking war mongering murderer!

[magellan]

17. Yet Bush** inflicts wars of choice that destroy human life at EVERY stage

IMPEACH the hypocritical criminal buffoon already!!

[rasputin1952]

18. Is this a pre-emptive strike? What a jerk, let him veto the Bill

It will just bring more attention to what an asshole he is. Who can determine when life "begins"...Oh, wait a minute, there is a guy here in NE that says that each sperm and each egg possess 1/2 a soul each; when they combine, a whole soul is entered into the embryo...:rofl:

on edit: even after Spell Check, "Is" came out "Ia"...I didn't even know there was an "Ia" in the language...:D

Maybe Ia=Iowa...:shrug:

[Fridays Child]

20. WWBD, if Jenna or Not Jenna ever developed eclampsia in the last weeks of a pregnancy?

What if Jenna or Not Jenna's organs began shutting down and the only hope of saving her lay in late term abortion?

I just want the answer to that one question.

[bvar22]

41. These rules don't apply to rich white people!

If Jenna or Barbara get pregnant out of wedlock, a rich white daddy would make a call to a rich white doctor.......problem solved!

OR

There is that month vacation in Europe....Problem solved!

In the Republican Mind, they are the exception because they can buy their way out. This is America. The rules only apply to Wage Slaves and lower classes.

[Fridays Child]

42. I suspect that Jenna's December 2000 emergency appendectomy...

...was probably necessary because her "appendix" was growing tiny feet and hands.

[CornField]

22. Link in LBN too

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2835142&mesg_id=2835142

That one links to same AP story in the Houston Chronicle

[LSparkle]

23. The more he throws tantrums like this, the more Thugs will peel off

and help us override his fucking vetos ... the lying, scheming, stinky, dirty, sack of liquid crap!

[BeHereNow]

24. The government has NO business in my womb.

I can not BELIEVE I am even HEARING discussion of lawmakers
inserting themselves into private lives in such a manner.
These people SERIOUSLY need to FUCK OFF.

BHN:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Gregorian]

25. Iraq isn't destruction of human life? HELLO?

So war is ok, but an abortion isn't?

Republican logic is so confusing. In fact, I'd say it isn't logical.

TO THE HAGUE!

[Triana]

26. He will VETO any legislation that doesn't allow white male politicians..

...to control America's women and their bodies, and their lives.

He will VETO any legislation that thwarts the controlling power of The American Taliban

Burka, anyone?

[burrowowl]

27. IMPEACH BU$HCO!

NOW!

[rodeodance]

28. its still the MY way or the Highway with him.

[Lerkfish]

29. "but we must continue to abort fetuses, otherwise all previous abortions were in vain!"

just applying his justification for the war consistently.

[bdamomma]

30. bullying again George, he has no problem killing our soldiers

huh?

[Theduckno2]

31. A President in search of a legacy, how sad.

Evidently the bulging flight suit has come back to haunt him, so he may as well try being principled.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have both been around long enough to know not to take the bait, thereby giving President Bush something to hang his hat on. I am quite sure that they would have an override in pocket before attempting to pass legislation that President Bush, in his desperation, would veto 'on principle'.

[WinkyDink]

32. WAR "encourages the destruction of human life at any stage...."

[wicket]

35. He's such a pig fucker

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[aspencer]

36. K

[CornField]

37. Just woke up and I'm still pissed as hell about this

It isn't good enough for him to sign some bill which discusses something which isn't even a medical procedure, now he's worried that someone might protect women and families. Who the hell does he think he is? God?

If this SCOTUS ruling had been in effect in 1995, I'd be dead. SCOTUS, POTUS, or our Congress has absolutely no business deciding something like that for a family. Only I should have the right to decide when and if I want to put my own life on the line.

[michael_1166]

38. WHAT ?

Commander BrainDamage said he will "veto any legislation <...> that encourages the destruction of human life at any stage" ???

Mr. Bush, does that mean you will impeach yourself now, plead guilty for being a mass murderer and brighten our days by spending the rest of your life in jail? Great!

[WritersBlock]

39. I say we call his bluff. Okay, George, "at any stage?" Explain Iraq. n/t

[Hersheygirl]

40. Sounds like a dictator to me.

Not a uniter.

[etherealtruth]

43. "or that encourages the destruction of human life at any stage"

... yeah, right ... asshat.

Every policy this jack ass has leads to the destruction of human life

[wicket]

44. kick

:kick:

[MiniMe]

45. "protect a woman's right to medical treatment"

Let me get this straight...women don't have a right to medical treatment in George's eyes????? hmmmmm

[aspencer]

47. Sure they do -- but only what the state approves

Doesn't matter if a certain procedure could save your life or your ability to become pregnant in the future -- the state can over-rule you and your doctor.

[RestoreGore]

46. He should talk. His policies cause abortion EVERYDAY IN IRAQ

Those who lost their children in Iraq didn't want them aborted at the stages they were at in their lives! If he really believes the crap he spews he should have signed teh bill TO BRING THEM HOME. Who the hell does he think he is? IMPEACH THE LITTLE DICTATOR ALREADY.
