@poindexterwitkowsky How about instead of calling the GOP clowns and accusing them of class warfare, treason, and cowardliness without giving reason, you give us what the democrats have done in the last handful of years that has actually assisted us in moving forward. I refuse to listen to people who resort to insults and finger pointing without giving credit to what they or the side they support have done.

~~^^Since GOP Clown god, Ronald Reagan, Republicans have been waging CLASS WARFARE on the working people of America. The EFFECTIVE TAX RATE for the wealthest individuals & for corporations is the lowest in 50 yrs. Almost all Republicans have signed on to the GROVER NORQUIST no tax increase PLEDGE. Because of these COWARDLY TREASONOUS REPUBLICANS we now have a serious REVENUE problem which should be a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY. ........................Is there not ONE REAL MAN IN THE LOT?

Isn't this what Obama campaigned with? Transparency in government? Isn't this what he won our hearts and minds with to get the majority of the vote with? So why is it that a Republican and one lone Democrat (who aren't the President) making this common sense policy? What's our President doing these days? As Chris Christie said; "what the hell are we paying this guy for?"

I'm not a fan of this new craze for line-item vetoes. In pinpointing specific sections of a bill that aren't helpful, it inadvertently encourages legislators to stuff more and more into a bill. What good is the ability to strike down a sentence or two if it's impossible to read and comprehend the effect of a few thousand pages?
