For the record, if * Vetoes the Bill, I WILL BLAME HIM not the U.S.

[texpatriot2004]

Congress.

Heard idiot man making idle threats and trying to pass the buck about who the "American people" would hold responsible and I just want to make it very, very clear for him. I will hold him responsible. I think most of the "American people" will blame * not Congress. I don't think he can make his bullshit argument fly. If he vetoes the Bill, it is clearly and wholly his responsibility. Furthermore, I am not sure he couldn't be held accountable for putting his own personal agenda ahead of the troops. After all, it would be quite clear that he doesn't give a rats ass about the troops (of course, that's been obvious to some of us for a very long time). Nancy Pelosi is absolutely right, he wants the money and he wants no accountability and that time has passed. The time has finally come for the restoration of checks and balances and for oversight, thankfully.

1. If he vetos, he's toast.

Rove's head will explode trying to get doofus out of this one.

3. True nm

9. I don't see how he has any choice but to veto it. He has said he will

veto the bill too many times to back out now. He can't just shrug and say, "Aw you called my bluff."

[guruoo]

10. Then he's ....

toast. French, appropriately......

2. Of course. nt

4. I already blame Bush for all the horror and destruction he has caused.

He has the blood of thousands on his hands, and the responsibility rests with him (not solely with him, since Cheney & co. were no doubt involved...but with him nonetheless). Every American death in Iraq is on his head, and I hope one day the weight of what he has done to our nation and our people - not to mention what he has done to the Iraqis - crushes him alive. I want him to feel the pain of every soldier and Marine that died because of insufficient armor or training; of every parent who has lost a child far too young in this war of false pretenses; of every future that will never be because of what he has done. I want that pain to permeate his heart and soul (assuming he has either), and I want it to torment him every day and every night, with no escape. He has brought this upon himself, and although he seems to exhibit sociopathic tendencies, I cannot excuse his actions that easily. I want him to suffer - but more than anything else, I want him OUT OF OFFICE so he can't hurt anyone anymore. And the sooner he leaves the Oval Office, the better...for all of us.

6. He does seem like a sociopath nm

5. our dems have done a pretty good job of cornering the rat bastard

They disappointed many by seeming to not take a hard enough line - but I think they did their homework and figured out just how to trap him into either vetoing and looking bad, or signing and opening the floodgates. 'cause now if he DOES blink and sign it, he has then made completely irrelevant any such posturing and threatening he might do on the next battle - and the next -

And if he vetos, he's cutting off funds for no reason except to be petulant. As Chuck Hagel so aptly described it, it does provide the funding, does not cut and run - the bastard hasn't a leg to stand on. About time, too, as Tammy Duckworth and some 10,000 like her would no doubt agree

12. Not that his ego would allow it....

...but Bush could sign the bill, as he did with the Torture bill, then add another of his signing statements saying he has no intention of following through on the removal of troops.

He would be able to say he supports the troops publicly, and the slumbering media would never tell the American public about his serial disregard for the Constitution via his misuse of the signing statement.

7. His veto doesn't exactly restore checks and balances.

[SeattleGirl]

8. I wholeheartedly agree!

Demanding accountability from President Asshat is long past due.

11. Well said. nm

14. House and Senate bill

Both bills (Senate and House versions) would provide more than $90 billion to sustain military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-usiraq295149927mar29,0,7996692.story?coll=ny-uspolitics-headlines

so he has the money he requested (plus more money than originally asked to support the troops) - if he flourishes his veto pen (for the second time in his whole mis-administration) - WE ALL KNOW WHO IS TO BLAME, AND WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT THE TROOPS, and WHO IS REFUSING TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

[texpatriot2004]

15. Exactly nm

16. I have a firm BBFFAA policy

Blame Bush First Foremost And Always.

17. That's A Good Policy! I Like It

And you've got an acronym and everything. Cool.

19. May I just add ...FE

For everything. I think it's entirely appropriate.
