I am willing to bet that the GOP held a meeting and told Bush to veto that bill and have their people permission to vote yes......
This way the republicans can publically distance themselves from a president with horrible ratings for the next election.
Bush can't run again, thankfully his career is over....the rest of the republicans can show how bipartisan and caring they are...and no one even talked about the money numbers that popped up over the weekend regarding Iraq...perfect timing (way to use a news cycle!!!!) We were all too focused on the veto.
and we Democrats helped!
Look at the numbers....$ Veto 35 Billion for American children and spend $190 Billion on Iraq and ask for $189 Billion for 2008 (associated press has the numbers)
They baited and switched (like how now we are in Iraq for freedom and terrorism when we really went for weapons that were never there)....and we all went for it!
