Earlier this evening the U.S. House defeated a Republican motion to instruct conferees seeking to strip the hate crimes provision from the Defense Authorization bill to which it is attached. The vote was 178 to 234. You may recall that in July, the Senate voted 63 to 28 to add the provisions of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act to the defense bill.

  • Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) --Barack Obama said he'll veto defense spending legislation if Congress includes funding for purchases such as the presidential helicopters from Lockheed Martin he said aren't needed. Every dollar wasted...is a dollar we cant spend to care for our troops; protect America or prepare for the future, Obama told a VFW convention If a project doesnt support our troops, if it does not make America safer...if Congress sends me a defense bill loaded with pork, I will veto it.

  • But will Obama keep his promise?

  • Why should this time be any different? He's done nothing but lie; break campaign promises; change his stories to suit the needs of those who pull his strings.

    He's a Scumbag; he's becoming even less competent at teleprompter use than he was before. One-term puppet, IF he's lucky.

  • I agree he'll be a one term puppet. Too bad he hasn't done an impeachable offense to date, then we could get rid of this socialist sooner. I believe he's will go down as the worse president ever.

  • Hate crimes are such a frigging red herring... who the frack cares if you smash someone's face in because you a) don't care who they are and were just antisocial and bored, or b) know who they are and smashed it in because you don't like their perceived threat to your sexuality...

    Hate is a useless emotion and a sign that you're not in control. Its only use is to herders of the sheep, gets their flock riled up when they need it.

    It should be illegal to attach unrelated shit to bills, period.

  • When you're a EndGame president re-election is of no consequence. Re-election has no bearing when the country is headed down the road to a new world order - where

    the bloodlines and wealthy simply guide the masses and resources to serve them at an optimum.
