bush's very 1st Veto: Stem Cell Research. Fuck the Sick. Go Fundies!

[mopaul]

of course, he'll get his way, he always does, he's the 9-11/teflon president.

1. I'm not so sure he'll be able to pull it off unscarred

A clear majority of Americans have surprisingly rational attitudes when it comes to stem cell research. It could cause his poll numbers to drop even further.

8. So? like Bush's poll numbers have any meaning anymore?

Yeah, I know, Frist won't be able to ride his coatails, but...

[Disturbed]

2. Just maybe there will be a nice surprise with..

this. The Moderate Repubs may be making a comback and maybe they will uphold this Bill. Doubtful but... possible.

3. Do it do it do it

come on georgie* go for it lets see you set medicine back a little further.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. No, he's such a moron he threw away a completely loyal constituency

If he had been any NORMAL president, people would still be worshiping him. But he's such a completele tool, even those that stuck by him this long are starting to wonder. There is absolutely no doubt, he'll go down as one of the all time worst presidents ever.

[Coexist]

5. He never met a spending bill he didn't like -

but science - GET THAT EVIL OFF MY DESK.

Yup - that's our President.

[DeaconBlues]

6. after its passed in the House

Frist will probably drag ass in the Senate so that King Bush will not have to veto such a popular bill, at least not anytime soon.

[pinto]

7. Do you think the Senate will send it to his desk?

[mopaul]

10. MOstradamus predicts:

i don't know frankly. the bottom fell out of the soothsayer business in the year of our lord 1980, when st. ronnie became our heavenly father.

this could be a very unpopular veto if enacted. but if it fails, bush can always say he tried.

[oxbow]

9. It's a testament to how much power he has

and how hierarchical the GOP power structure is. 5 years in office and Not One Veto!? He must really be controlling the Congress well if he hasn't had to shoot a bill down yet.

[Swamp Rat]

11. He always gets his way ... we humans are soo fucked.

[sleipnir]

12. Do we have the votes to overturn?

Now that would be a kick in the teeth! Bush's veto gets overridden by Congress. Looking at raw numbers, doesn't look like it, but who knows?
