VOA News - Iraq Funding Bill Vetoed by Bush
President Bush has vetoed more than $124 billion worth of funding for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq because the measure includes a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. VOA White House Correspondent Scott Stearns has the story.

Not a surprise. Unfortunately. He’s an arrogant SOB with ratings in the toilet and Congress united against him. Time to impeach on any of the multitude of things he’s done wrong.

No, I suggest that they all resign in shame. Bush is done in a year and a half, but we're stuck with some of those guys and gals for what is quite possibly decades.

By your assertion, people have also spoken on who they wanted as president. I know who I voted for, but if the overall majority wants someone with no respect for the Constitution, they're going to get someone with no respect for the Constitution.

Inarguably, that will be the case regardless of which side wins in 2008... so no worries there. If a Democrat wins, the bile will just switch sides... Democrats will be busy defending the transgressions of the Beloved Leader, and Republicans will be spewing hate. Same stuff, different team.

Impeach him for what crime? Unlike Clinton, he didn't lie to Congress under oath. He may be violating the Constitution, but he isn't doing so any more than our last few presidents.

Well I mean - they aren't all going to resign in shame. None of them are. But if they can do something to get rid of this guy for his Constitution trampling I'm for it. Putting up with another year and a half of his reign is going to be very tough to handle.
He lied about the reasons for going to war. Almost half a trillion dollars and tens of thousands of lives ended or ruined. That's plenty crime enough.
