Tell me this, how can all those people not support a line-item veto? The pork in the budget has caused most of our financial problems. We could afford to buy new weapons systems if we weren't building a luxury liner for the Navy in Mississippi.
I know the Supreme Court shot it down once but I firmly believe they were wrong. The whole concept of our federal government is to ensure checks and balances. The line-item veto will do that!

I still do not know who to vote for 
they are all losers! L-) I hate to say I voted for Bush (did not want to change during the war), BAD MISTAKE! I makes me not even want to vote, no one is worthy. They are all liars!

I'm not afraid or sorry to say I voted for GWB
I will agree that there is not ONE candidate that I really am like "Hell Yeah!"
But I will vote...never have missed an election since I was able to vote

My mother would turn over in her grave if I ever not voted Democrat--but I think ultimately it should come down to who you feel will best represent your values...
Although I must say I was surprised that Kucinich (sp) was my top vote getter! He's too left even for this Berkeley alumna!

What we need is a poll that tells us whether we're democrat or republican based on our views. I haven't got a clue. I am registered republican because no democrats run down here and I wouldn't get to vote at all.
No matter what party you are, I think you should vote your conscience. Alabama had an ad on TV during a runoff election where they basically accused people of being traitors if they voted for a democrat. Only in the South!

Plain and simple it gives one man too much control over our governments spending, over Congress, and goes against our Constitution.

Ok, give the line item veto power to the Supreme Court. They're 9 members! As it is, the GAO tells us the money was wasted. Only problem is they do it 2 years after it was spent.
I believe we need to start thinking as to what's best for this country instead of what's best for me. Many people made hugh sacrifices during WWII. Are any of us willing to do it now? No, not the current "me generation."
