Red Alert! Republican Bullshit Detected!!
Republican and Democratic congressional aides said the White House made clear in briefings this week it would not submit a legislative proposal, at least not for the time being. Instead, the White House will try to coordinate efforts with lawmakers crafting their own proposals.
Do not fall for this Democrats! They're trying to pull the same bait and switch they used on Iraq!
What they're trying to do is to draw out any Democrat proposal on SS, thus signaling to the public that there is actually any substance to Bush's lies. The moment that happens, Bush will ramrod the destruction of Social Security using the Democrat proposal as political cover AND use it to direct the blame to the Democrats.
The only defense against this is for the Democrats to refuse to play the game. Offer Bush NOTHING, let the Republicans stick their necks out, but do not give Bush ANYTHING on this.
