Dear John,
What are you THINKING???
You told Raw Story today you planned to introduce legislation to give President Bush the line item veto. Hey, I get that YOUR motivation is to stop graft. But you can't SERIOUSLY think that's Bush's motivation for asking for a line item veto!
President Bush's goal is to destroy government altogether. He wants to open up priceless public lands to private drilling interests. He wants to defund Social Security. He wants to be able to break the law with impunity. And you want to give THIS man a line-item veto? What are you THINKING???
You want to give President Nero, the guy who played guitar at a party while New Orleans drowned, the line item veto.
How can you IMAGINE he'll cut the right things?
He'll allow money to go to friends to improve the flavor of peanuts, but will not cut the defense budget an iota to feed the hungry children of our country, much less the rest of the world.
He'll leave in the "bridge to nowhere" while cutting armor for our troops.
I mean, we KNOW this guy. He has no heart. He doesn't care about us. He sent workers back to Wall Street after 9/11 by overriding the EPA via his White House Council on Environmental Quality to tell New Yorkers the "air was safe to breathe" when in fact, it was filled with lead, mercury, and a host of other toxins.
This is the guy who thinks nothing of breaking the law or winning by keeping people from the polls on election day. This is the guy who says it's okay to spy on Americans because he is the law. He is a God, in his own eyes, and you want to hand him the line-item veto? You seriously want to make him more powerful than all of Congress? Seriously??
I'm begging you to explain. I voted for you. I deserve a serious answer to my question.
What the HELL are you THINKING????
