Well, Evan, nobody's stopping you.
The quickest route to Social Security reform is a few of the younger Senate dems waking to the reality that, along about the time they've risen to leadership roles in Congress, the existing system is going to hit the wall. If a half a dozen of them broke ranks on this, we could have Social Security reform pretty fast. It wouldn't take many.
The "do nothing" approach suits the Kennedy types, who will be gone before the reckoning, but younger 'rats have an interest in an honest solution unless they want to close out their careers dealing with a shambles. But so far, they show every sign of following their senile leadership over the cliff. Can't think beyond the next election.
The dem's don't give a rat's patootie about anything but the pursuit of power. The fact that the voters have figured this out is a problem.
The party of NO and HATE .

MARCO! POL-NO!
LOL, very witty of the author to think of this analogy. Amazing to see a piece like this in the MSM.
Although, like everyone else, she overlooks the real reason "Hillary Care" failed, because the plan stunk. If Bush and co. come up with a lousy plan on Soc. Sec. it will fail too; if they come up with a good one it may well get enacted. And she is right, the Dems really look esp. dim suddenly seeing NO PROBLEM with Soc. Sec., nobody, but nobody is buying that angle.
Nice words but were they spoken before or after he voted against Condi Rice for Secretary of State in a naked attempt to appeal to the lunatic left.
One is to presume this was positioning for the 2008 primaries.
Let them make all the grand statements they want.The American people know what they are for and their credibility has already been lost by their unending political maneuvering in lieu of leadership.

It is not a party. It is a crime syndicate. Listen to their words. Watch their deeds.
Criminals are anti-freedom, anti-life.
"The rationale is inevitably tactical: Democrats are the opposition. They do not control any branch of government."
Except the courts, and Bush is trying to fix that problem.
And of course, there is the Capital One punch-line, perfect for the Dems:
"What's in YOUR wallet?"
