This port issue is a pure political ploy.
This port issue is a pure political ploy.
Bush wants to take on Congress and have Congress win this by overriding his veto.
Why?
Because Bush, Rove, Cheney are deathly afraid that one House of Congress will flip to the Democrats in the 2006 election. If that happens, hearing are going to be held on a ton of issues with the possibility of Bush being impeached on the illegal wiretap issue. The way to stop this is to have the Republican Congress "show" to the American people that they are independent of the White House.
Seriously -- this is a classic Republican political play. People like Rick Santorum will run ads saying:"Santorum stood up to the President when he was wrong on the port issue. We need independent leaders like Rick Santorum." We are in the middle of a failed Presidency. Bush has given up on the American people and is just trying to preserve some kind of legacy that is not tainted with illegal activities being uncovered. If illegal activities were to be uncovered, then Jeb Bush would never have a chance to become President down the road.
