"The Veto" and Democratic Political Theater: Here's my idea...
Edited on Tue May-01-07 09:53 AM by Richardo
The funding authorization bill is delivered to President Bush's desk with bundles of dollar-bill sized paper that represent the entire appropriation that the bill is authorizing.

According to my calculations, $95 billion would be something like 4,000 6' tall stacks of $100 bills.

Then let him say the Dems are not funding the troops - make him refuse the 'money' and film it soming out of the White House.

Tomorrow's headline (and color photo): "President Refuses Funds for Troops"

...a boy can dream, can't he?

they have the money, he needs the money.
they set the conditions, he can take or leave them.

it is bush's war, he can take the money with the conditions or get the hell out of iraq.

2. My theory is that most people are sick of theater and would prefer bush be impeached.
But that's just my theory....
