....if the Dems were to say anything it could be Social Security IS our plan!!!!! But, I agree, they should just be silent and let them twist in the wind. All we need to do is look at our watches and tap our foot while we wait on their "plan".
It's tempting to ask them, why didn't you demand OUR plan for an energy policy? Where was your insistence that we have OUR budget proposal to present for debate? Why weren't you guys screaming for OUR drug bill to put on the table?
Anyone here old enough to remember the Carter/Ford debate when Gerald Ford declared that Poland was not run by the Soviet Union? That drew a gasp from everyone that he could be so ignorant. And Carter's following rebuttal? He passed. He knew he didn't need to expound on a mistake so obvious. He knew not to take the focus off of what had just been said. He trusted that the American public knew better and he trusted they were making their own rebuttals in their living rooms. It was brilliant.
You're right here. Let them hang themselves.
