Yet by even a futile veto, Bush could have shown us he cares about free speech and full involvement of the people in the political process. As it is he stated support for it in general even during his 2000 election campaign. He would have signed it even if there was no threat of an override.

Uh, President Bush stated what he would have liked to see in CFR bill. They were ignored by Congress, but also seeing the vote count on CFR he knew that his veto would be overidden, by Congress.

It's called strategery, and yet you ignore that strategery and not lay the impetus of CFR on mccain, whose child this monstrosity called CFR began.

But what the hey you DUmmie, gotta go by the old standby, blame Bush.

"Stategery?" Nope. He signed an unConstitutional bill into law, thus violating his oath of office.

It's called strategery,

It's called not having the balls or principles to use the veto pen once in over five years despite the bad legislation that continually crosses his desk. After 2000, I knew the libs and McCain-types would continue to push bad legislation, but I figured that a conservative president would veto it. I was wrong. Apparently politics matters more than principles, and even our Constitution.

Your defense of him despite his clear wrongdoing has now outed you as a BushBot.
