Bush will veto anti-torture law (Dailykos)

Well worth the read. If he vetoes it, he should be impeached immediately.

This confirms that he is the stupidest man in the face of the earth.

DeLay may not be Majority Leader anymore, but if you think his political influence in the House just went *poof* overnight, think again.

which has a lot of power over spending bills. It'll probably come out.

...if the Hammer is still in action like he was Friday. This may work against the Hammer, too, if he tries the same kind of shit on the override.

I just think there's no way that this can go good for Chimpster.

And impeachment sounds like a wonderful idea!

Dubya, thanks for going out of your way to make sure the whole world knows you are the "torture president." Nice work, dumbass. Some of the religious people in your base actually read their Bibles, and don't like Abu Ghraib one little bit. Many will be joining the opposition.

Hint, hint.

Remember, the anti-torture amendment is a part of the entire $440 billion bill!

Not because it is huge. Because it defunds the torture that was already against the law and Bush says shouldn't happen and is against his orders.

What a dick.

That's relavant. It makes him look weak (which he is) and cannot protect America.

For all the upcoming entertainment.

It is one of the joys in his pathetic life.

Don't forget they voted for torture..
Allard (R-CO), Nay
Bond (R-MO), Nay
Coburn (R-OK), Nay
Cochran (R-MS), Nay
Cornyn (R-TX), Nay
Inhofe (R-OK), Nay
Roberts (R-KS), Nay
Sessions (R-AL), Nay
Stevens (R-AK), Nay

What a surprise. :sarcasm:

Especially if Congress doesn't manage to override a veto because too many GOP House members don't vote to override.

Let the GOP lose control of Congress in 2006. Then impeach Bush.

If he does, he condones torture and hates the troops .


If he doesnt he admits he ordered torture.

Earth to CNN..... MSNBC......:mad: :mad: :mad:

It'll make him look bad and the senate will override him. It's a win win.

My bet is that they'll look at it primarily in terms of the political horserace. They'll cast it as Democrats trying to beat him and does he have the political authority to 'stand his ground'.

With little attention paid to the real world, life and death, moral and ethical issue underlying the politics.

Any decent journalistic establishment, long gone in America, would rip him up one side and down the other, without Democrats even having to say a word. Think that'll happen? This veto will put the lie, or actually just another in a series of lies, to the notion that US torture is just a few bad apples in the lower ranks behaving horribly. It was always, and as this veto will show still is, a corruption of American morality initiated and persistingly driven from the top down.

Let's just see how the '4th branch of government' deals with it.

Hutchinson and Cornyn (flying spaghetti monster dammit, Texas sucks) and politely let them know that if Bush does veto this that I, and all Texans, expect them to uphold their original vote and override the chimpansential veto. Brought up higher moral ground, we are the good guys argument. Probably won't do any good, but you gotta try. Who knows, maybe the Senate is WAKING THE FUCK UP.
