What's with Republicans insisting that Democrats put forth "their ideas"? Has Bush forgotten he's
got the trifecta?
"I think what the real question here is: Are Democratic leaders going to start coming forward with ideas and solutions or are they going to simply put up a stop sign and say no to solving this important priority for the American people?" McClellan said.
It's not our fault Republicans can't govern. If they don't have ideas they can sell to the American people (and the polls
prove they don't), they can step aside and let the grownups take charge. Grownups who don't talk out of both sides of their mouth, constantly contradicting themselves:
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said a legislative proposal by a Senate Republican to overhaul Social Security without Bush's treasured personal retirement accounts "calls the bluff" of Democrats who say they will not negotiate as long as the accounts are on the table [...]
But he said Bush still felt any permanent solution to overhauling Social Security needs to include personal retirement accounts.
So what bluff was called? Privatization is clearly still on the table. A little straight talk would go a long way here, but god forbid this administration try any of that.
