My current theory is that the best we can hope for from the Bush presidency is that George W. is lying about more things than we already know him to be lying about.
Apparently, George W. is tacking back on social security. He will consider getting rid of the cap on social security taxes--currently income over 90,000/ year is not subject to the payroll tax. So, again that's not what he said he was going to do but it's a lot closer to a solution than the private acounts thing. Explaining how taxing more income is not the same thing as raising taxes is going to take a bigger intellect than GW has displayed thus far.
I don't think I have any conservative readers, but any conservatives out there who would like to explain how lying is better than flip-flopping...please, let me know.
It's frustrating that the best the Democrats can do is sit on the sidelines and sputter "But he lied!" We have the same problem in California with Arnold. He can do and say whatever he wants because the media is not calling him on it.
And while the utopian idea of bloggers ruling the world is appealing, bloggers have day jobs. The media is paid to give us news. What do they do all day anyways? Foozeball? X-box?
