Bush Loses Again
by Michael in New York on 7/16/2004 01:59:00 PM
Just hours after being humiliated by the Senate vote firmly rejecting
his anti-gay constitutional amendment, Bush loses again. (TheSenate voted 78 to 15 to end tobacco subsidies in the next decade
and impose harsher advertising restrictions. The site has been
"updated" and some links aren't working. Our apologies.)

Unlike almost everyone else (excepting tobacco growers themselves,of course), Bush opposed the bill because he thought it was great
that we spent billions of tax dollars supporting the growth of tobacco,a huge cash crop and one of the most addictive substances known toman. He also thought it was fine there wasn't more stringent
oversight on advertising -- despite the fact that smokeless tobacco is
making inroads among young people. The Senate overwhelmingly
said otherwise and it looks like in another ten years we will be out ofthe tobacco subsidy business -- saving billions -- and using harsherrestrictions on advertising.
