Sorry, "mainstream bloggers" don't follow politics that affect our lives directly.

2. No - he's too busy picking on Southern Dems...

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I'm getting a little tired of his column this week.

I know Harold Ford Jr., for example, isn't the "ideal" Democrat to many on this board, but he's a damn site better than the neo-cons who will be running for Frist's seat.

OK.. flame away... I can take it. :)

3. No flaming ....honest....he has at least updated with new quote from Ford

New statement out from Rep. Harold Ford: "I do not support changing the Social Security system as has been proposed by President Bush, nor do I support Social Security proposals advanced by the CATO Institute. In fact, both of these proposals have the potential to harm current beneficiaries by paying for the transition costs by issuing debt. Piling on more red ink to the existing federal budget deficit and the national debt will do both long and short term harm to our economy. I do believe that the system needs to be reformed but I do not support changing the Social Security system as President Bush has proposed."

7. I was just going to post this

read it earlier this evening. He can only report when the Congressman says something - this and his earlier posts were based on the Congressman's own published words.

I was glad/relieved to read this statement.
