Bush just gave himself the line-item-veto.
 Just saw on the news (it was CNN or MSNBC) that Smirky McChimp issued an exec. order that no agency would implement anything that Congress funds that he considers an earmark. This is amazingly unconstitutional (what else is new?) Since it's the Congress that designates where to allocate money NOT the President.
Will Congress do anything about this new egregious power grab, probably not.

Oh my a lot of it's illegal, no it's not

Actually, moonbat...

Bush said earmarks passed in committee ONLY would not be enforced as they were never voted on by the full house and senate.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
