Oh NOW he threatens to use veto power?

Nephythys · 07-10-2006, 02:12 PM

Color me unimpressed

Um, how about using it on some of the outrageous spending???

NOOOO-now we use it?

grrrrrrr.......

I doubt if a veto will happen. Rove has spent nearly 6 years using the threat of a veto to get things changed just enough to where the President doesn't have to actually veto....no reason to believe it won't happen again here.

Still; I do wish he would have used it(the veto) a few times to hold down spending. I sometimes feel like a hypocrite supporting this fellow who spends like a drunken democrat

Is it just me, or is Vido starting to sound like a great name?

Yeah, damn those democrats and their stupid surplus.

How much does a drunken Democrat spend? Less than an inebriated Libertarian? More than a shytfaced Republican? Somewhere in the neighborhood of a pasted Green Partier?

What is truly scary is how much a supposedly sober Republican can blow.

I still give Gingrich credit for the "Clinton" Surplus.....sans a Republican Congress for most of Clintons Presidency can you honestly say he would have had a surplus?

Mixed power between the executive and the legislature is probably the best recipe for fiscal responsibility. Both parties want to spend all our money, but at least when power is split they can't come to agreement on how to do it.

Nephythys · 07-10-2006, 09:48 PM

Amen- the spending and growth of gov't alone is enough to drive me crazy watching this admin. *headdesk*

Nope, but I can say that giving the republicans all the power is about the worst thing that could have happened to this country, for the reasons Alex points out. Like it or not, we went from better to worse and the Republicans have nobody to blame but themselves.

Someone(I forget who now) did present an argument to me that I should vote for Kerry for this very reason.....like Alex was saying; shared power tends to be more responsible with the purse. Of course I am from a Blue State so I take no blame for the Bush deficit
