    "Green pork", is that like green eggs and ham? After years of big oil subsidies the status quo will not do. Innovate? Diversify? F that. Drill dig drill. That's the solution for everything. The Republicans are officially the biggest oil and coal whores in the universe. Anyone who can't see that is a complete fool.

    Not as giant a tax paid to secure the oil spigot in the middle east. And this tax includes the spilled blood by many of our finest.

    So enlightening when you consider the "little Kyoto" meeting Bush is calling all of the major nations and U.N. to attend here. His own personal attempt to control Global Warming. You kinda get an idea of the agenda.

    When it comes to putting money where an orafice is...the mouth is the last place Bush sticks it.

    Veto away loser. You've score the "Worst President Ever" prize and it isn't likely that honor will ever be taken from you. (legacylegacylegacylegacylegacylegacylegacylegacylegacy)

    It doesn't matter if it passes both house and senate. President Doofus will veto it.

    Considering this and other bills both houses have passed and sent to junior for his "X" but were vetoed.

    Question: Can the next president 'revive' the bills and sign them or are they completely dead and must go through the whole house and senate approval process again?

    The next President can "revive" them but the house or senate can. There is a process of reconsideration. Or they can simply create a "new" bill with many of the same elements.
