1. Yet the empowered GOP leadership

(run from ROve's office) is going to push this one for "a win"... and contribute to the growing illease with the GOP in washington.

2. It's only going to get worse! Pres said he doesn't intend to protect

disability or survivor benefits. There's a link here on DU about it this morning. I don't remember exactly which forum I read it in, but the last part of the forum link was "disability" something.

This had been a claim by the opposers of this new plan for a long time, and the Pubs kept dening it, but apparently Shrub himself finally admitted it yesterday.

Wait until this one hits the MSM!!! You thought SS was a dead issue before...you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Man I sure hope no Dems cave on this one!!
