Romney: Dum dum dum dum DUM!

First: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thanks Manny for coming through tonight, that 3-run homer was BRILLIANT. Red Sox 2, Angels 0.

Giuliani criticizes GOP on spending from article: "We lost control of Congress because we were just like the Democrats as far as spending is concerned — shame on us," Giuliani told the anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity.

Right on Giuliani... and now lets see what John Ker.... I mean Mitt Romney has to say.

From article: Yet Romney has argued Giuliani is vulnerable on the issue because the former mayor fought to eliminate a line-item veto, which a president can use to reject spending, and because Giuliani maintained a commuter tax in New York. And Romney advertises that he has signed a pledge not to raise taxes, which Giuliani has refused to do.

"Actually, as governor, I used the line item veto more than 844 times," Romney said. "I can't wait to do it in Washington."
At the presidential level, the line-item veto was short lived. Congress passed it in 1996, President Clinton used it in 1997, and the Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional in 1998.

Romney, Pay attention, It might serve you to actually know "Common Knowledge" law. Anyone who reads the news should know about the history of the line item veto. The Republican Congress "Famously" gave Clinton the line item veto which Clinton did not approve of. And yes.... it was deemed unconstitutional because it in theory gave the executive branch too much power.

Why don't you drop out right now, save us from yourself... and perhaps come up with a better way to transport your dog across country.
