WASHINGTON — Democrats yesterday rushed to accuse President Bush of betraying family values by vetoing a family-leave bill, while congressional Republicans pressed an alternative plan and defended the president's veto.
The Associated Press
Some Republican sponsors acknowledged that there was little chance that Congress, in its waning weeks, would embrace Bush's alternative to the family-leave bill, a $500 million tax credit to employers who let workers have unpaid time off in family emergencies.
The bill would have required businesses with more than 50 workers to provide up to 12 weeks a year of unpaid leave for workers who have a new child or must care for an ill family member. Exceptions written into the bill to gain conservative support would have exempted about half the nation's work force, including employees of small companies.
President's family-leave veto draws Democratic criticism
Bush's veto, while expected, gave Democrats a chance to accuse Republicans of empty rhetoric on family values.

House Speaker Thomas Foley said Bush's action was a very great mistake. He said the Senate would move first on an attempt to override, and Senate supporters say the two-thirds majority needed to override may be within their reach.
"Seventy-two countries have a family and medical leave act," said presidential challenger Bill Clinton. "We're being told by this president we can't I was taught to believe that America was the we-can country."
"With one swipe of the veto pen, the president isolated himself," said Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn. "We're very hopeful that we'll be able to override the president's veto here and in the House. If we're able to build some momentum. It's a much more difficult mountain to climb in the House."
It was the second time in three years that Bush had vetooed a family and medical leave bill. Democrats scheduled an override vote on the Senate on Thursday, but the odds were against them in the House, where the veto will not be taken up unless the Senate votes to override.
Bush's action put some Republicans on the spot, since polls show overwhelming public support for the idea of family leave as a minimum labor
Bush said the bill amounted to a heavy-handed government requirement that would have hurt businesses and cost jobs.

standard.
His alternative, proposed after Congress had approved its bill for the second time, would provide a tax credit of up to $1,200 an employee for businesses with fewer than 500 workers who offer up to 12 weeks unpaid leave for birth or adoption of a child or the care of a seriously ill child, parent or spouse.
