GOP looking past Bush

A growing number of Senate Republicans are preparing to break from President Bush on an emergency war-spending bill.

It is the latest in a series of fights that demonstrate GOP willingness to look ahead to the next administration while ignoring the one still in office.

Recognizing that the emergency measure will probably be the only spending bill approved before the November elections, many Republican senators say they are willing to add billions of dollars in domestic spending because the sagging economy is dominating the minds of voters.

Bush has firmly stated he would veto such a measure.

Senate Republican leaders are not confident they have the votes to sustain a filibuster if the bill includes some domestic spending without including timetables on withdrawing troops. Instead, they hope to derail it by letting it pass the chamber and then mustering enough votes to sustain a veto.

2. Too little too late

the bastards enabled that little shit and all his filthy crew for six long years and have steadfastly refused to help override his vetoes of desperately needed legislation.

I hope every single one of them is unemployed early next year.
