From the New York Times on Democrats’ attempts to get a sane budget past Bush’s veto pen, our righteous senator hits the nail on the head:
“The president is appealing to a very small conservative base of people, his last few friends in the country, to say, ‘I am conservative,’ ” said Senator Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat involved in mapping the party’s spending strategy. “But the problem is, he is playing with American lives while he sends his message to his friends.”

Patty Murry – Pork Chop Queen of taxation!
She might want to look at yesterdays washington Election, before she trys to cram an Internet Sales tax, Schip massive Cigar and cigarette tax increases, and Charlie the Tax happy Rangel’s 3.6 trillion mother of all tax packages down our throats.
Keep broadcasting your tax happy wishes! Please!

@1
Can you explain to me why tax and spend is worse than borrow and spend? With control of both houses, the Executive and Judiciary, the Republicans have moved us to historic deficits.

11 I wish I could share your degree of optimism, but yesterday a majority of those who showed up to vote in this state were desperate and delusional enough to believe in Tim Eyman’s something-for-nothing pitch. And you’d better believe there are plenty of folks sufficiently craven to think taking care of sick babies here at home ain’t as important as killing lots of dark-skinned babies abroad in the name of Jaaaaay-zuz.
Dino’s going to be running really hard and getting lots of support from the building industry next year, because as the economy goes in the crapper he and they will be in dire need of work.

Mr Art? See.. this is where you lefties go off the rails. Tim didnt promise us *anything* .. he said, “hey, its your money, wanna keep more of it?” and the voters said, “sure, why not?”
See how that works? We dont get a thing from Eyman’s initiative BUT to keep more of our own money. It’s a simple concept really.

Typical, so typical. Start to worry if it gets gets within a 1000 votes. Larry Phillips will look to see if his ballot was counted.

SWEET!
Eyman once again FAILS (Seattle Times):
The southern end of the northbound horse can not write a constitutional initiative. Expect I-960 to fail similarly.
correctnotright spews:
Eyeman doesn’t know what a constitution is – therefore, he keeps trying to use the initiative process for personal gain and to mess up the way government actually works.
Goldy (by the way, if you cahnge the name around and mistype like I do, it becomes godly) is right about this election. Basically, we have a low turnout election with issues predominantly for conservatives and they are taking this as some kind of mandate. In 08 – they will get their butts handed to them.

@28 – so, letting people vote on a matter is not constitutional? are you sure? wanna make check your little factoids there? ‘messing up the way government works’ is basically our right. we are not beholden to the govt; they work for us… remember?

Gee, fixing the levees in New Orleans is pork, huh? I guess it is easier to just wait for another flood, and then blame the mayor and governor (but only if they are Democrats).
The news today is that the veto was just overridden, with LOTS of support from Republicans. Only fourteen Republican Senators voted to sustain Bush’s veto.
“This bill is enormously important, and it has been a long time coming,” said Sen. David Vitter, R-La., whose state was hammered by Hurricane Katrina two years ago.
The bill “is one of the few areas where we actually do something constructive,” said Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott. R-Miss. What Bush sees as pork barrel items, Lott said, “are good, deserved, justified projects.”
Source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21691324/
So, if about 80% of both houses of Congress, including influential Republicans, call the bill “good, deserved, justified projects”, then what does that say about your analysis, delbert?
And the whole thing about the Bush vetoes is just laughable. After five years of allowing the Bush administration and a crony Republican controlled Congress to loot the federal treasury, with most of it going into the pockets of their biggest supporters in the form of no-bid contracts, while ignoring all other domestic priorities, suddenly the Democrats are the”big spenders”????
The veto is just political cover. He knew the vote was going to go against him. He just wants the Republican Party to play it both ways – they can go home to their constituants and bragg about how they “brought home the bacon”, locally, and then on a national level try to blame the enormous federal deficit and ballooning national debt on the Democrats, hoping the electorate has a very short memory and are subject to historical revisionism. What a sham.

Pork for sure, at least as administered by each and every corrupt Democrat governor and mayor that Louisiana and New Orleans had the stupidity to place in positions of authority. Now that the state has at last saved itself from itself by electing a brilliant Republican governor, the reign of error and misfortune’s over.
And tell us, Global-Warming fanatic fundamentalists, why we’ve gone thru yet another hurricane year without a breathlessly predicted deluge of Cat-5 devastation?
