Why Does Saving Social Security Hate America?

Seen via Talking Points Memo: "The president is going to go ahead [with his Social Security privatization schemes]," said Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, a Republican leadership lieutenant. "He cannot afford to fail. It would have repercussions for the rest of his program, including foreign policy. We can't hand the president a defeat on his major domestic initiative at a time of war."

There it is. If Democrats succeed in saving the indispensable and successful Social Security program from the latest onslaught of Repugnican looting, somehow the Terrorists have won. You can set your watch by these brainless thugs, their moves are so damnably predictable.
