Comments on: Congress Nears First Bush Veto Override

$23.2B Water Projects Bill Addresses Vital Infrastructure Needs Like Bridges, Levees And Dams

[feelfree1]

Water projects are a huge boon-doggle in the U.S. I don''t know much about this particular legislation, but I might very well side with King Dipshit on this one.

Oh well. The Bush-puppet was complaining that Congress was not getting anything done. It appears that they are addressing his criticism.

How dare these d*mn Republicans try to stick up for OUR infrastructure!!!

Obviously they need to have their GOP membership cards pulled for doing something as disgraceful as supporting American initiatives!!!

jonesforch,,, I think it''s for alot more than protecting New Orleans from flooding, it also provides funding for starting to rebuild the entire Delta.

Bush only talks about protecting tax payers when vetoing things that benefit ordinary people. He''s approved hundreds of Billions of dollars to Kill Iraqi''s and to give away many more billions to his friends in the Oil Industry.

Wake up American, the GOP has no interest in you!

[j-whitman]

It''a probably just a game House republicans are playing to keep thier jobs ---- It''s the Senate repubs that are in goose step with the Fuhrer, it has yet to make it passed them.

[jonesforch]

This city is way below sea levels. It will flood no matter what the veto does..Geesh I say give it too Hillary or any other President that wants it.

I can''t wait to see his tantrum fit he will throw.

I will enjoy watching. Hopefully, more fun to come over the next 439 days!

not one southern state will vote for hillary.

the south prefers upstanding, christian , faith professing republicans

and top notch leadership like george bush, jr.

the south would like to find another prez like george bush. jr.

the southern states are considering drafting rush limbaugh to be the republican candidate.

he has all the qualifications...

fat, bigoted, republican, christian, drug user, demogogue.

oh well, that''s the south for you, folks!

my2cents suggests, "don''t spend another penny until we pay something down."

That''s a nice sentiment, but not practical. If the country''s infrastructure collapses, there will be no roads and waterways to travel, so no food, no junk at walmart, no jobs, etc. No jobs means no taxes, so no money. We can''t just shut the country down like that. Now, we could save a HEAP of money if we''d just pull our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, shut down Guantanamo and I don''t know how many secret torture camps around the world, but I doubt the Bushies will ever consider doing that.

Condumism, don''t you mean, "The Times They Are A Changing"?

But of course. There was a bush burnin in the neighborhood when I posted such, so I guess it made me a little woozy. Thanks for regrounding me.
