GOP Unity In Congress Frays

For most of the 108th Congress, Republicans have held ranks with President Bush, especially on the issues he cared most about: tax cuts and the war. But suddenly, Democrats are finding unexpected openings in that GOP line on issues that usually don't usually engage members of Congress: new administration regulations.

In a vote expected Tuesday, the Senate - with GOP help - is expected to brave a presidential veto to block new FCC rules on broadcast ownership. Last week, six Republicans voted with Democrats to block a change in how the Department of Labor regulates overtime, also in the face of a presidential veto threat. Justice Department proposals to extend the reach of the USA Patriot Act could prompt similar defections.

Republicans and Democrats alike, bring this Junta down!

87 Billion plus for a war we can't afford and no one wants. I'm sure more than a few votors had something to say about this on top of the record deficit and the missing surplus Clinton left.

more the moderate Repubs will break ranks.

and the Senators are realizing it is all in Bush's hands

thats a bunch of money thats not gonna go to their districts and to them! :bounce:
