Dancing with them what brung ya. A uniquely Texan concept, to be sure. As the 1600 Crew starts down this path, there will be little left for anyone outside their circles of power and influence except the waste.
Once his team is set, Bush plans to move fast on the domestic front. Republican sources said the first major issue the White House wants the congressional leadership to bring up in the new year is Bush's plan to restrict medical malpractice claims by limiting to $250,000 noneconomic damages, which compensate a victim for pain and suffering. Yet the president's plan to create private Social Security accounts for younger workers will put the new team to its toughest test early on.
I have yet to understand how those who voted for Preznit Buggered and Beholden could so willfully vote against their own self-interests. I guess that when they or their loved ones are injured in whatever the future of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory is, and they find out not only can't they sue, but they can't even talk about it, they'll find someway to either (a) chalk it up to "God's Will" or (b) blame it on the secularist Democrats for not protecting them. Especially as they check out their "privatized" retirement account and discover that it performed at 1.95% before the fees were taken out....retirement at death? Sure. Sounds like a very AWCB idea.
It's all Physics, you know?

The vote for Preznit Bunnypants because there are more abyssmally ignorant folks in America than practically any industrialized nation. They are firmly in the sway of a.) churches and Christianity which REQUIRES a suspension of rational thought and b.) most 'Muricans have the attention span of a gnat, which is why the drivel and soundbites from the wingnut controlled media is so effective.

Hey, when Social Security goes down the drain, your best choice for retirement is to invest in insanely powerful firearms.
That way you don't have to starve to death. And you can take some Repugs fuckers with you, too!
