Or better yet, just bullshit from the beginning, do not dig yourself in a hole.

Damn, I wish there was a Line Item veto right about now.

Re: $700 B Bailout

how is McCain going to veto all of the bills that contain pork, when he is voting for them?

I don't care who the President is, that Line Item veto will stop a lot of this pork garbage.

The line item veto is an extraordinary power to grant the president. It is not a good solution in my opinion and that of the Supreme Court to the problems we face. If the president is given this power I can see the rise of favoritism to new heights and discriminatory executive practice of allowing requests from his own party members to go through and vetoing requests from the opposition party.

I would much rather see reform in the area of introduction of bills to the floor (i.e. clean bills and member written bills).
