Politics Snags Ethics Reform Bill

   Leave it to the Republicans to screw up a good bill!

    The Democrats ethics and lobbying reform legislation was derailed over a dispute with Republicans all because the Democrats were blocking an amendment that would have given the president authority, with the approval of Congress, to single out individual spending items in legislation for elimination.  (AP)

    The vote (51-46) was nine short of passage as sixty were needed.

    Now the GOP is making the claim that the Democrats are claiming fiscal responsibility but are not showing any by blocking this amendment.

   The fact of the matter is that if this bill were passed with the amendment attached to it, Bush would more than likely scratch out any Democrat spending that did not go along with his warped sense of values or any kind of spending that would hurt his position or the Iraq war that he insist on losing at any cost.

    The only thing worse than having an idiot in the White House is a psychotic idiot in the White House!

    Meet Mr. George Bush.
