Your latest cheeseball ad has you practicing a 'line-item-veto' on your daughter's allowance request.
The ad ignores the fact that GW Bush doesn't know how to use a veto- line item or otherwise. It also seems to ignore (really it presumes the ignorance of the public) the fact that the Supreme Court has already ruled against such a thing- not that it poses much of a problem with the current administration. "W" simply ignores the court when they do not agree with his 'world view'.
There is a truly good reason that a line item power should not be granted- It would be one more way for a majority power to shut out the voice of the minority.
If you truly want to be a US Senator, why not include in your campaign a realistic notion of using the rules of the Senate already in place to create a way to restrict additions of pork in the first place.

How old are Mark Kennedy's children? They looked like adults to me. If so that's not very good proof that he's effective with money or management.
agreed!!!
