It's an unfair comparison, but the dollar figures are so close it makes it irresistible: SecDef asks for $42B for wars juxtaposed with Bush threatens veto of children's health program over $35B.
There's your "compassionate conservatism" right there, if you still harbor any doubts as to what Bush thinks is important.

Then if Congress can't override the veto because the Democrats don't have the votes, the Dems can tee up the advertising campaign. I believe they already have it designed.
