Nobody is talking about the farm bill
that Bush is pretending to oppose. He vetoed it, but he told Republicans that they are free to override his veto if they feel it is necessary.
This will give welfare to couples making 1.5 million a year. People with millions of dollars in assets. This is exhibit A displaying why the GOP is dead. The GOP have supported the bill to the extent that veto will be overriden. Novak had a good article about it. |

If you are a GOP congressperson who fights pork, subsidies, corporate welfare, earmarks, you will be punished by GOP leadership. Novak has harped on this for years. This is where you wish there was a conservative Tom Delay who actually supported conservatism and fiscal responsibility (I think Delay cared more about carrying the president's water than conservatism). That Novak article is such a severe indictment, that I hope the GOP is voted clean out of office. It needs to be reinvented, and it can't if the same people stay there. |

You speak my thoughts, Mike. No need for me to repeat what you've already said.

Blah blah blah. Last I heard Bush was going to veto it and that would effectively kill it. In light of that I didn't feel like it was worth talking about.
