Does Bush's planned veto of the "water works" bill indicate that he hates water (in addition to children?)

Question

I'm wondering if the two vetoes are connected. Given that children are more dependent than adults on natural sources of water, that lack of quality water will be unhealthy for children, and that several million will be denied health care due to his SCHIP veto, when you tie it all together you have the frightening possibility that Bush is taking a clever approach to harming children. And it really comes together when you consider that SCHIP recipient children, being relatively poor, are more likely to grow up to be Democratic voters, if they live that long. This is a serious question. Those who can't handle the truth need not answer.

Answer 1

I don't know if they're connected, it would seem a stretch to say he's trying to prevent possible future dems from growing up. however, the way he acts and the 2 vetoes definitely show he doesn't care about this country or the people in it. I can't believe no one has impeached this idiot. I hope we survive another year!

Answer 2

Nope, just shows that he hates Americans. If it would have been for Iraq, he wouldn't be able to get his autograph on it fast enough. Notice how everything lacks fiscal discipline when it is money being spent on America to protect Americans at home?

The House and Senate are expected to move swiftly next week to override Bush's veto of a bill loaded with water-related projects sought by members of both parties, from shoring up California's levees to protecting the Gulf Coast from hurricanes.

In a statement accompanying his veto, Bush said, "This bill lacks fiscal discipline."

On Capitol Hill, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) said, "I am 100% confident that we can override this veto."

The defiant bipartisan response to the veto underscores the difficulty the president faces in his new zeal to hold down federal spending, especially when it affects highly visible construction projects cherished by lawmakers.

"This will be the first veto this Congress has overridden, and it was all about getting parochial water projects back to their home districts," said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group.

The bill would authorize more than 900 projects, such as restoration in the Florida Everglades and the replacement of seven Depression-era locks on the Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers that farm groups say is crucial for shipping grain.

For California, the bill authorizes $1.3 billion for 54 projects, including $106 million to strengthen the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta levees, $25 million for revitalizing the concrete-bound Los Angeles River and $38 million for replenishing sand at Imperial Beach in San Diego County, a project that supporters say would protect coastal residents from storms.

Answer 3

I believe Congress ought to say Mr. President we will pass more money for your little war if you sign Schip and the water works bills. Is that too much to ask? Can't we compromise there? Write or call your reps today and suggest this trade off.

Answer 4

Bushs are engaged in water works themselves,
like adding drugs and poison in dissident quarters
by developing new strategies for urban suppliers.
Just like to fight competitors in the beginning aka
Free Trade. USA baby food is child abuse anyway.

Answer 5

Do you want a real answer or a joke answer? I could go off on a tirade but I'm not. I'm just going say:

Yes, Bush hates water. And children. I agree with Kucinich, he's completely bonkers.

Answer 6

The Truth? The Truth is that you're absolutely out of your mind if you assume that the President has some nefarious scheme to harm children by withholding that which the federal government never gave them before, and is actually wholly unauthorized under the Constitution to provide.

So, whose "truth" do we need to handle, here? The God's Honest Truth, or some liberal blog?

If you believe the crap you're putting forward here, why just the subtle musing? Why not a full-blown demand for Impeachment for Attempted Murder?

Please do. We need some laughs this week.

Answer 7

Bush has consistently vetoed EVERYTHING since Democrats were elected to control congress. He vetoed NOTHING in his entire presidency while Republicans held congress.

Therefore it would appear that he is purposefully punishing America, for not electing Republicans.

Answer 8

No, it just proves he hates America...because the water-infrastructure projects in Iraq are FULLY FUNDED, and Halliburton doesn't do nation-building here at home.

Answer 9

What it does show is how partisan and intellectually bankrupt the liberal left is, to actually think the president of the USA hates water and kids, of course the veto's could not have anything to do with pork spending and un-needed earmarks.

Answer 10

You need water to make the Kool-Aid you obviously drink on a daily basis. What an absurd premise you've come up with! You sir are an idiot!
