Senate Passes Spending Bill in Feeble Attempt to Stand Up to the Chimp

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats on Tuesday reversed President Bush's cuts to education, health research and grants to local communities as they gird for Bush's first-ever veto of a regular appropriations bill.

By a 75-19 vote, the Senate gave bipartisan approval to a huge health and education spending bill that will likely be the first of the fiscal 2008 spending bills Democrats will ship to the White House to start a veto battle involving the budget for almost every domestic agency.

Just watch. Once the Chimp vetoes this bill, the Reichwing Noise Machine will begin demonstrating Democrats as being weak on terror, even though this is a health and education bill, and when it comes time for a vote to override the veto, our spineless Democratic Senate will cave and give Bush exactly what he wants. And when they do the American public loses while Fox Opinion Network once again wins.
