Republicans have obtained a congressional staff memo they say proves that Democrats want to use Social Security for scare tactics, not serious debate.

The memo, mistakenly sent by e-mail to a Republican staff member on Capitol Hill, contains an apparent draft opinion piece on Social Security and reaction from staffers in the office of Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Ohio Democrat. The memo argues that President Bush and Republicans want to "privatize" Social Security, which the author likens to "corporate gambling."

"Americans want ..."

I cringed when I read this. It brings back [shuddering] 8 years-worth of memories of Clinton-hacks poking their thumbs (you know, the politician-gesturing thumb-in-fist thing?) at the camera and starting their [G-Aaaaaaaaack!] spin saying "Americans want" this and "Americans deserve" that.

ok,....I'm better now.
