WASHINGTON


WASHINGTON (Creators Syndicate) -- George W. Bush, who is not prone to confessing mistakes, has confided to close associates that he committed a whopper on Social Security.

He admitted error in pushing for new personal accounts while not stressing the repair of the safety net for seniors. As a result, Republicans returned to Washington this week from the congressional recess deeply shaken by what they encountered back home.

Thanks to the orchestrated effort of the AARP and organized labor even in the most Republican districts, GOP lawmakers encountered angry opposition to President Bush's plans at town meetings.

Facts Suck for the GOP and the Lie machine. :toast:

Kick GOP butts!

to have this halfwit steal thier money without a fight! My grandmother, who generally is clueless about politics had heard about this and signed a petition forwarded through her ecumenical meetings.

Keep those protests/blogs/petitions et all coming. Maybe its a small dot of light at the end of the tunnel, that tho blocked from sight, our voices can still be heard.

For all the bluster I heard, as soon as people got wind of Bush's plans for SS they let him have it.

Shows people are opening their eyes.
People less likely to trust Bush in the future---it shows social programs are not unpopular as Bush says

They are destroying the safety net for all Americans and throwing us to the mercy of the whims of an increasingly unregulated market. And, if the young folks suffer from a faililng economy, there will be no net for the seniors.

That's what they mean. They thought greed would win and they could create a generational war and the youth and tail-boomer voice would prevail. bzzzt. Wrong.

So now they've got this snake oil tour to try to repair the damage and use the focus group tested "safety net for seniors" to try to dupe people into believing they care.

the whole Republican social agenda just got burned

I am glad their enough Americans who will not accept everything this snake oil salesman is pushing.

The GOP is going to get hurt with their plan

* is on his 60-day, "We got trouble right here in River City" Tour.

Too many sheeples out there for me to feel comfortable yet. * and his crew of lying, cheating, stealing, torturing christians aren't done with their indoctrinations.

...with this:

"President Bush has recently claimed that his push for switching social security over to private accounts was an error. Do you agree with this statement, or are you still in favor of dismantling the current system in favor of privitization?"

It's time to hang them all out to dry!

They made this a huge issue on their own and it got shot down without any help from the corporate media. This may be a good first step in opening some eyes out there

... had a look in the bag containing his "political capital" and discovered that it looks a lot like his budget... running a deficit.

bushsucks* got shocked. Maybe he should have grabbed it real tight.

Wakin up finally! nice one "Merica"

Like the man on the flying trapeze - whose reach exceeded his grasp.
