Defense of pork is about the only think that has both parties moving in lock step. A veto of pork alone would be overridden easily.Progressive Pinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464725288335587328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9247604.post-34339587910731132392007-12-24T14:48:00.000-05:002007-12-24T14:48:00.000-05:00If you imagine that congressional spending has not...If you imagine that congressional spending has nothing to do with the presidency than you apparently have not heard of the word 'veto'. <BR/><BR/>Romney is a big fan of the veto. He has no problem exercising his veto power whenever a given spending bill is, to his way of thinking, wasteful. <BR/><BR/>That is one of the reasons he was elected governor in the predominantly Democratic state of Massachusetts. Even Massachusetts Democrats were smart enough to understand that you need a conservative executive with the ability to veto to offset the countless handouts and entitlement programs that Democratic legislators come up with over and over again.JasMarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354457022511599465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9247604.post-23318490000971472882007-12-24T13:52:00.000-05:002007-12-24T13:52:00.000-05:00Wasteful spending is a problem, however it account...Wasteful spending is a problem, however it accounts for only about 10% of the budget deficit. First off, a lot of it is a Congressional issue (i.e: pork) that has nothing to do with the presidency and secondly wasteful spending is only one of many issues facing the country. One strength doesn't compensate for many flaws.Progressive Pinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464725288335587328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9247604.post-56296847758499996422007-12-24T13:24:00.000-05:002007-12-24T13:24:00.000-05:00As I've detailed on many occasions, Romney is clea...As I've detailed on many occasions, Romney is clearly the cream of a pretty decent crop of Republican candidates. Huckabee is a charlatan and a Republican in name only. <BR/><BR/>Romney is guy you send in to reduce wasteful spending primarily. You put him in charge of an operation and he makes the sometimes difficult decisions necessary in order to streamline and make things more efficient. I believe that the federal government and therefore the American people would greatly benefit from improved efficiency and less wasteful spending. <BR/><BR/>I agree with all of his positions on the issues and he is a man who seems to command sufficient respect from those who works underneath and around him.<BR/><BR/>It's truly sad if a guy like Romney scares you. I guess you're the type of person who is more scared of Romney than you are of the homicidal maniacal terrorists who would love nothing better than to behead every last American citizen.JasMarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354457022511599465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9247604.post-38155340429529013142007-12-22T17:59:00.000-05:002007-12-22T17:59:00.000-05:00Are you on Huckabee’s case because this is a serio...Are you on Huckabee’s case because this is a serious issue or just because he’s taken the lead away from your candidate (who BTW scares me a lot, he comes across as a very polished politician who stands for nothing other than his own ego, perhaps he should explore a career on television)?<BR/>What do you see in him, is it his perosnality you are attracted to, or is it just that there are a lack of leaders who support what you believe in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
