Will George Bush veto funding the troops?

[Fresh_Start]

I'm guessing he couldn't.
Come-on Senate, put Georgie to the test.

[valerief]

1. Yes, because the troops hate America.

:sarcasm:

[John Q. Citizen]

2. He won't have to, with a good signing statement or maybe the Repos

in the Senate will just fillibuster it for him.

[jenmito]

3. YES. Snow SAID he will...

This is why the Dems. wanted to pass this bill, knowing Bush will veto it. Now he can be accused of not supporting the troops. :D

[Fresh_Start]

5. yes, there's a trap in it for George

and Georgie will fall in

[jenmito]

12. I know...

and I LOVE it! :D

[gasperc]

4. it's a message war

CNN is going with "Democrats vote to pull troops out of Iraq" like this is going to hurt us.

Let Bush veto the bill, will the headlines be "Bush vetoes troop withdrawal" or "Bush vetoes funding of troops", I'm sure Rove is working feverishly behind the scenes to come up with some clever come-back to feed to the press.

[jenmito]

13. That's why he's going to (try to) speak any minute now...

to explain WHY he's going to veto it.

[soothsayer]

6. why would he? they gave him all the $$ he wanted, didn't they?

[Sparkly]

9. With strings attached. nt

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. He's going to call it a pork-laden bill from spend happy Liberals

Then he'll threaten the Senate to put it in order to his specifications.

(speculating)

[fryguy]

8. sure he will

and then the MSM will serve as the WH's echo chamber for their spinning it as a vote in favor of freedom and "actually" supporting the troops....

[fryguy]

10. dupe

[panader0]

11. Good point. n/t

[Dangerman]

14. Hell yeah.

:mad:

[leftofthedial]

15. it will never get through the Senate

too many of them are still repukes or dems running for president (which is close to the same thing)

[Jack Rabbit]

16. If Bush doesn't want the money with strings attached

. . . then he doesn't get the money.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. As soon a sthe bill comes to his desk

why he started the political theater today (and lying)

[unpossibles]

18. forgive me for my cynicism

but the "Liberal" MSM will somehow spin it in his favor.

20. oh, he'll do it alright

and then wonder 'what the hell happened?' when he's attacked for it.

[ProudDad]

21. I hope so

Then the Congress would have a chance to pass a bill that has some teeth to it...
