   now if he could just secure the border and get that fence built, i would call him really, really confrontational and a true friend to the conservative!

   Just wait until the Defense bill comes up again, with Jack “ex-marine” Murtha (D-PA) chairing the House Defense Appropriations Committee. That should be fun, seeing what pet projects in Johnstown get a priority over funding the military operations underway overseas.

   If he wants to be the “friend” of conservatives he could quit being president of North America and start being president of the US of A. That would require building the fence on the southern border. Using some of his mangled vernacular, he is either with us or against us.

   Funny - aren’t some democrats balking about the spending of this administration? But this is portrayed to make Bush out to be capitulating to the base?

    if simulated drowning is torture, then what is actual drowning, leaving the scene of an accident, driving under the influence of alcohol?

    I was wondering what had happened to that bill. It got passed a couple weeks ago and they said Congress added an additional 9 BILLION dollars to it.

    It’s about time. Good for Bush. Congress should not look at the American people as their own personal ATM. They should not use our money to buy votes for them.

    You always find the funniest pictures MM.

    Interesting article by Paul Weyrich predicted an increase in vetoes to “excite his base by using the veto pen.”

    Well, she’s leading in the overall Best Blog category.
    Noticed the Captain’s Quarters blog has a link and banner on it’s frontpage…

    Good article on there comparing Murtha’s beneficial relationship with Concurrent Technoligies too.

    Since Bush won’t be running for reelection, is that explanation really so plausible?

    Not that I object to the veto, mind you.

    #34 Larry - check the Weyrich article on Townhall (#18) - he explains that the veto has successfuly been used to energize the base.

    Am I missing the point? Aside from all the hypocracy coming from the left, why isn’t anyone seizing on the opportunity to expose the DemocRATS as what they really are…liars who speak out of both sides of their mouths, operate in the dark of night, far from the light of day, who parse words to fit their own agenda?
    Is it just me, or does anyone else think that when they “craft” the wording of these bills, they do so with words/meanings that can be easily manipulated, to show detractors that they are “actually” working within the boundries of their bill?
    Please, someone tell me our conservative leadership will use this ammunition in political ads in the run up to the elections.
