Like any politician, circumventing the question. A much better answer would be to mention the system is flawed but overall it was the best choice for it's other benefits.

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

I don't even care what he said, once I saw the graphic of the pork, I just blanked out. I wish MSNBC had named names. Whoever is pushing pork in this should be hit in the head with a tire iron.

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

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 [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_v._City_of_New_York"]that of the Supreme Court[/URL] 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).

Hasn't line item veto been unconstitutional for like a decade?

It has always been.
