Comments on: Congress Overrides Bush Veto On Water Bill

First Veto Override During Bush Presidency Comes On $23B Water Resources Bill

Rosesnpearls: Nice motto, good idea, but it isn''t so much that the public feels this way it as much as government playing amongst themselves. It is a pissin game, and just because Congress got one thing they wanted, they will go and beat it to death because to them it isn''t about right or wrong it is about win or lose. The blame is in the game not the facts, which I agree with you on. It is too much money, so lets see if it doees makes a differance down the line. If the Dems keep stressing they won this it is a clear sign they did it for the wrong reason.

Every Republicon Congressman that has loyaly supported Bush will be branded out of office in relentless TV advertising with the middle name (GW BUSH). For example: Senator James GW BUSH Inhofe (R - OK). The fun has only just begun ConDumbs!

It''s about time congressmen on both sides of the aisle got down to business-- the nation has more than enough to worry about from Bush failures of due diligence.

Meanwhile, Bush plays with incendiary rhetoric against Iran, hoping something catches fire so he can invade.

By now, it''s clear Bush doesn''t give a Scarlett O''Hara about the future of this country. He''s not spending his own money on his Iraq war and other fiascos, but ours. Nor will he risk the lives of his own family members, but ours...

Bush never has displayed much conscience-- and forget altogether about statesmanship from this wannabe president, the worst this country ever has had. The GOP should be ashamed...

rosesnpearls,,,,,, Focus should be placed on the bad politicians as well ---- Bush''s politics is what drives the anger

[marcodele]

Stick a fork in Junior, he''s done.

It''s nice to see a few republicans actually thinking outside of the Bush box for a change.

[rosesnpearls]

Small, limited minds. Stop focusing on your hatred for politicians and look at what is good (or bad) for our country. Both sides have some ideas to look at but everyone is so busy being party loyal that they seem incapable of using their brain to look at the true details and make decisions based on information instead of hatred of politicians. Look at the issue, decide what is right and what is wrong and decide based on that - not who wrote the bill, vetoed the bill, supported the bill, hated the bill, etc.

"Mr. Bush vetoed no bills during his first five years in office. He has since vetoed a stem cell research bill twice, an Iraq spending bill that set guidelines for troop withdrawals, and a children''s health insurance bill. House and Senate Republicans managed to sustain those vetoes." - There it is in black and white. The reason the major bills the democrats tried to push through failed. BECAUSE OF THE REPUBLICANS... AGAIN.

Can''t believe what I''''m reading, finally Congress has some "BALLS".....
Ditto!!!!!!!
About time you worthless pieces of slim.

Lordy lordy, Repugs actually CAN do something for their own country not just their donors, oh well must be no bids in there somewhere I just cant believe they would vote for the People of this country or communities that are running dry since they didn''t bother since Bush came into office in 2000. Guess they were really scared about those photos of the communities and the poor who are now and will soon be without water. Oh just saw Inhofe MEGA FARMS, lol.

Good..Sorry Mr.Bush..Charity begins here at home before it is given out of nation. We have needs here.

I see Bush continues on with that mandate Cons argued he had in 2004.

Wow, a few billion to be spent on domestic needs rather than Iraq.

363 days to go to get rid of this chimp.

Would love to see the pork, excuse me, "benchmarks" in this bill. I also understand this is the first veto override in his presidency. Interesting.
In 1995 bubba was heard to say "levees are a local issue". I bring that up since the article had to mention bubba.
Did you all know his wife is running for president? Yep, she is. She''s sensitive though, have to be real careful asking her a question like "what''s your stand on giving illegal aliens drivers licenses?"

So Bush won''t get $23 Billion from a Water Resources Bill to go to his favorite "Watering Hole" Iraq !

[frankly6]

Bush so wanted that money to go to Iraq. It''s his favorite way to spend our money. The price tag for the Iraq boondoggle? 2 trillion and counting.

[terrapin78]

Has the Chimp pitched a tantrum fit yet?

I can''t wait to see how he handles the over-ride.

MORE TO COME!!!

One down, several to go
