It’s still worthy of the effort, and of our support, as long as it delivers on its promise and actually eliminates earmarks.

It’s BS legislation from BS washington politicians (including cornyn). They want to keep all the power in the senate. Want to get rid of pork and unnecessary spending? Add the line item veto for the president. Congress will have their names on the political payoffs but one guy will ultimately be accountable to the public.

Why have no press bothered to ask either of these turds about the abuse of campaign financing (not to mention the ULTRA-illegal use of foreign funding) in the idiot messiah’s Precedential campaign? Why have neither of these turds had anything to say about that?

These people absolutely disgust me.

UBS is about to close it’s offshore banking business to U.S. citizens which is estimated to increase annual tax revenues by $300B. And that must be the mere tip of the iceberg.

Why should parasites like Kennedy and Kerry who have never worked a day in their lives skip tax-free, while the tax burden on the rest of us continues to go up.

Since a $1 trillion stimulus is equivalent to an entre year of income tax revenues, the “stimulus” package will slap each of us with a tax burden equal to what we pay in a year.

But Kennedy and Kerry will pay nothing.

And oh yes, McCain also will pay only a tiny pittance of his family’s inherited wealth.

Well I suppose since he won’t go away, at least he’ll be busy doing something meaningless & not causing any real damage in the process.

Love may be lovelier the second time around. But, what about a bill that lovebirds McCain and Feingold put togehter? You bet it is better the second time around! Here’s a bill that can make you fall in love. The……

Adding pork to this legislation would be entirely redundant.

If we had any hope this bill would work as planned better than BCRA, great. I’m not confident, however.
