I wonder if the message will sink into GW that he's totally out of touch with the American majority :???: At least its finally sinking into the Senators and Congressmen that US taxpayers will pay to aid/build the US- but are sick and tired of GW borrowing Zillions $ and spending taxpayer dollars to build his own little private oil company nations- and using globalist trade to raise the standard of living around the world-while lowering that in the US....

If you're going to spend fistfulls of borrowed money like a drunken sailor- at least spend it on yourself instead of an ugly woman thats going to dump you when you quit giving her money anyway....

WASHINGTON - The House emphatically approved a major five-year farm bill by a veto-proof margin yesterday, setting up President Bush for a major political embarrassment.

Brushing off Bush's opposition, many Republicans joined a majority of Democrats in approving the farm bill, 318-106. This is well over the two-thirds vote needed to override Bush's promised veto.

NFU: Farm Bill Clears Senate With Overwhelming Majority

Interesting!!!!!!More Wishy-Washy Wiggle Room !!!!!!!

Vote results posted on the Senate Web site showed that four senators did not vote, including all three presidential candiates.

While I am new at this forum, I have read and drawn conclusions about several things. I do agree that at times GW is out of touch with the American public but from all I read Senator Joe is out of touch all the time! The political arena seems to have lost touch with reality as a whole.
Whether Democrat or Republican I still believe the will of the people should dictate the well being of the nation not all the political crap we see and hear daily.

Obama says- while its not perfect, he supports the Farm Bill....

"I applaud the Senate's passage today of the Farm Bill, which will provide America's hard-working farmers and ranchers with more support and more predictability."
"The bill places greater resources into renewable energy and conservation. And, during this time of rising food prices, the Farm Bill provides an additional $10 billion for critical nutrition programs. I am also pleased that the bill includes my proposal to help thousands of African-American farmers get their discrimination claims reviewed under the Pigford settlement."

"This bill is far from perfect. I believe in tighter payment limits and a ban on packer ownership of livestock. As president, I will continue to fight for the interests of America's family farmers and ranchers and ensure that assistance is geared towards those producers who truly need them, instead of large agribusinesses. But with so much at stake, we cannot make the perfect the enemy of the good."

"By opposing the bill, President Bush and John McCain are saying no to America's farmers and ranchers, no to energy independence, no to the environment, and no to millions of hungry people."

I thought Obama was for change? Sounds like politics as usual to me. He tells everybody what they want to hear, gives everybody a little bit of something, finds a way to criticize "President Bush and John McCain" in the same sentence. And some idiots will probably fall for it.

And the best part:

"I am also pleased that the bill includes my proposal to help thousands of African-American farmers get their discrimination claims reviewed under the Pigford settlement."

Maybe after he has a few years in office, he can use inheritance taxes and discrimination claims to start subdividing Montana to give to the brothers that need reparations.

You forget- 40 BELOW winters don't keep many "southern folk" around very long....
And we have the same program up here with the discrimination challenges filed by the Native Americans because they were "socially too bashful" to fill out the paperwork
:roll: ....
