44. Pelosi stated in her Press Conference: "Democrats are open to looking
at any new ideas about Social Security reform as long as it doesn't break the covenant that exists with SS recipients." It's not an exact word for word, but close, because she said the same thing several times in the Press Conference.

What annoyed me was her compliance that Democrats are open to any new ideas as long as....

As long as..what? We know that Dems will be outvoted, but she's there still offering olive branches and welcoming whatever the Repugs put out there knowing that they will get what they want in the end unless the Dems pull a stunt like walking out in unison when the vote comes up!

The time for this "kissy-kissey" stuff is over. But, they never learn and WHY? Because they are all in it together. And, the handwringing and whining our Dems do is falling on deaf ears with some of us...
