Or how the GOP AND the Bush administration are holding back bills and blaming Democrats.
While trying to not get sick watching CSPAN - is over site a good use of the congress - , i noticed how many republican callers still believe the democrats are a do nothing congress and the stalemate is congress fault.
Meet ,Mister veto - the 51 percent killer.
If the president threatens to veto a bill the senate needs 60 votes to override the veto and make the bill a law.
So with Few if any republicans willing to go against the president - Bush has vetoed bills even from the previous rubber stamp republican congress - the democrats can not get the 60 votes to make a law and nullify Bushies Veto.
