Free Republic

If the democrats want to discuss Presidential use of power it would be interesting to compare the number of times Clinton used the Veto compared to Bush. I know Bush has used it a total of the high number...0. I thought Clinton was in the hundreds, I know it was over 100, but don't know the official count. Anyone know?

There are a lot of Californians that hate both Feinstein and Boxer. The state is actually pretty split. It is incumbent and party gerrymandering alone that keeps them in office.

The mission of the war is very important. If you don't support the mission, then you ultimately find yourself devaluing the troops sacrifice. You are saying to those that gave their lives that they threw them away instead of recognizing that they gave their live in the fight for freedom and safety in both our country and in the countries they are fighting in.

How can you support the troops when you are saying that they threw their lives away for no reason, for big oil, for Bush's personal war or any other unprincipled reason? By not supporting the mission you insult the troops by scoffing at the very principles they died for.
