Thursday, the U.S. Senate voted to Increase Enforcement Spending for the U.S.-Mexican Border by $3 Billion. However, the White House is now threatening to VETO this critically-needed funding boost as too expensive! If America needs to increase spending on ANYTHING, it is Border Enforcement. Do you agree?

right now its 92 percent against the veto 7 percent for the veto so I fully excpect whorge to veto it as a middle finger to the american people
Why settle for the lesser of two evils, vote Cthulhu!
Why is it whenever it's something the elites want, it's only "pennies per taxpayer", and when it's something the proles want, it's "Too Expensive". EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Man, what a pathetic charade.

Same thing here at the house: If I want it, it's an extravagent expense that we don't need now and can wait til later (even if it's only a new water pump for the car) If the Other Half wants it, it is only 'petty cash' and we can't live without it. Basic laws of economics, I guess.

Same thing at my house and I'm the female. Yelled at me for spending $7 on a new purse but then turned around and spent over $100 on a new motorcycle jacket.

Perfect observation - thank you.

27 bills now under a veto threat by Bush: I was a teenage Bush veto death march.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Bush has so far vetoed three bills: two stem cell research bills, and the Iraq funding bill that would have imposed a date for withdrawal from Iraq. Two of those three vetoes were this year. During the six years when he was president and the Republicans dominated Congress, Bush only vetoed one bill: the first stem cell bill. Hastert was on record as saying that he regarded it as part of his job to make sure that no bill passed that was unacceptable to Bush.

And those that were not vetoed, he jammed signing statements on. I am so sick of this dim-witted tool.

Burn lots of candles for this scenario - but then we'd have Pres Pelos - shiite. What a massive pile of cow-dung that we have sent to deecee.
If he'd just have a massive debilitating stroke upon hearing of Cheney's fatal heart attack, we'd all be so much better off.
#12. To: aristeides (#8)
Which is stupid. Make Bush veto it and take the heat for doing so.

Yeah, that's pretty lame. If you don't like the bill veto it and make Congress over ride if they can.
And those that were not vetoed, he jammed signing statements on.

Because we let them. They never have to pay a price. Think about it. All these clowns so worried about the Hispanic vote but they never give a worry about losing our vote.

Well, now I can understand that. What the hell you need a new purse for? If you got so damn much money just stick in the pocket of HIS new motorcycle jacket. ;)

Hello? What do you mean "we"? "We the people" ONLY get to choose from pre-approved corporate shill "A" or pre-approved corporate shill "B". That's it. Don't blame "the people", because "the people" have ZERO power in this equation. Blame the elites. THEY are the one who choose who gets to go to D.C.
What a massive pile of cow-dung that we have sent to deecee.

denny's still working on that whole checks & balances concept

Somebody better point out to the DoofusinChief that what's good for Israel is good for America. We paid for Israel's damn fence without Bush making so much as a whimper, so how dare he whine and stomp his feet that a fence is too expensive for American taxpayers.
However, the White House is now threatening to VETO this critically-needed funding boost as too expensive!

If Israel demanded solid gold paving stones and diamond studded street lights, our government would happily shell out for it. If our citizens were starving to death in the streets and were begging for food and shelter, "our" government would deem it "Too Expensive".
