Democrats said America wants change right? So of course all the elected officials voted to override since they're worried about re-election right?
Or are the Dems full of the bull stinky stink?

They failed to get the votes needed to override. Veto stands. I didn't catch the count or the individual votes.

In order to get 2/3 majority vote, it would take, oh, at least 100 Republicans to get on board if my math is anywhere close.
Obviously you know 100 Republicans in the House would have to vote in favor of to override the veto.
So there's really 0 chance that would ever happen.
Now how does that make Dems full of "the bull stinky stink"?

Nope they did not get the backing to override it.
final count 222 yeas
203 nays
2 republicans voted for the override and 7 democrats opposed it.

It takes a 2/3 vote to override, there aren't enough Democrats to override Mr. Bush's veto so the war you love so much will continue. Go sign up. Or are you a hypocrite.

No. The veto held. Now they have to start all over. I hope this time the Dems act like adults.

They didn't override. They fell short on the necessary votes. I logged on to messenger and it was the first thing that popped up. ruined the rest of my day.
