Bush has never vetoed a bill

As you might know, I think George Bush is the worst excuse for a president in history. When he (or that evil and thoroughly ugly man Cheney) appears on television, I have to turn it off out of fear of losing control and throwing my remote at the screen, not softly, but hard. I can't describe the harm I think he continues to do to our country our children's future. I hold him and the lying crowd he surrounds himself with in utter disdain.

I read this morning that Bush is the first president since Garfield in 1881 to have never vetoed a bill. Doesn't mean anything you say? I say it means plenty. For one, it indicates a president who will do anything for to please his political supporters, damn the consequences. But any thinking person already knew that.

Here are veto stats on some past presidents. Roosevelt vetoed 635 bills and was overridden nine times. Eisenhower: 181 and overridden two. Reagan: 78 and nine; Clinton: 36 and two.

You show 'em George.
