Sydney spends 2,000 words of soaring rhetoric, Democratic platitudes and wishful thinking to attack President Bush's attempt to fix the Social Security System.  He predicts the Democrats will defeat the Social Security System overhaul.  He doesn’t mention that the Democrats have no counterproposal or ideas of their own, just no, do nothing.  However, Blumenthal's ending sentence tells the story, "... if Democrats in the Senate can maintain their discipline."

Blumenthal claims that Bush won the 2004 election with the smallest margin of any incumbent president in American history. He neglects to mention the Republican victories in the Senate and House, where the Social Security battle will be fought.  He laments that Bush won’t include Democrats in his cabinet.

Blumenthal whines that Kerry's character was assassinated and the gays were picked on.  How does one assassinate the character of a person who has no character?  How screwed up is Sam and Charlie getting married?  Bush won because the American People trusted him more than they trusted Mr. Flip-Flop.  Even leading Democrats have pointed the finger at the miserable candidate that was John Kerry, who has yet to sign the Standard Form 180 as he promised Tim Russert a month ago on Meet the Press.

Barbara Boxer isn't disciplined.  She's a whiner and hysteric, prone to emotional outbursts.  Harry Reid is a passive-aggressive wimp who gets upset when he's challenged and pleads "no mas." With leaders such as this, how will they maintain their discipline.  The Democrats have simply become the "just say no party."

What I really want to know from Sydney is if he has stopped beating his wife?

Should this plan be defeated, the Democrats are the ones who will suffer because they will be seen as obstructionist and naysayers who stopped a plan without offering a plan of their own. How quickly they forget that John Kerry's lack of a plan on anything was one of the torpedos that sank his [swift] boat.

Ah, yes. Sidney Blumenthal, mob attorney. Let us hope that some day he enjoys the prison cell he deserves.

Thanks for the summary. No way I could have got through all that without barfing.

The last question of the essay is along the lines of, "when did you quit beating your wife?" (I forget the lawyer latin for this type of question). Anyway, the correct answer to that question is, "I've never beaten my wife." I've used that before and, boy, does it shut the interrogator up.

Should any working stiff, over the age of 40, allow themseves to be conned out of a Social Security remedy, such as being worked on presently, they are without social redeeming value.

BTW ... there will be a fix offered and it will pass.

AARP, and the "greatest generation" be damned.

Thydneys twisted thought process left me convinced that he is terrified by strong decisive men.

The outcome was a strategic victory but not a structural one

It seems structural to me given Republican gains in both 2002 & 2004. It feels like a majority biding its time until terms expire so they can throw the bums out.

Bush's agony is only beginning

I didn't realize President Bush was in agony.

I love how the dems are using "dismantling" and "destroying" to describe the changes in SS.

But .. I agree with President Bush - in 2006 - the dems don't want to be on the wrong side of this issue.

Sydney is having illusions again by thinking Bush will get defeated on this.

I might well be wrong, but I have a suspicion that Bush is timing the showdown on this issue to provide the Republicans with a maximum boost for the 2006 elections.
There have been press whines recently that the White House is not providing enough leadership and guidance, that they seem to have lost the initiative and will to fight over the matter, that Frisk has stated that maybe the legislation could wait a year.
Don't be fooled. Bush is going to spring a proposal that will garner a lot of public support - after the Dems have dug themselves into a deep hole of opposition that they will be unable to climb out of.
He's playing them for maroons again and they never seem to see it coming.
It could well result in another two to three senate seats for the Republicans in 2006; but I would trade them all for just one- Hitlery's.
