Buried in the last part of this article in the Mouthpiece Daily errr...Washington Post, is an interesting little tidbit. Fuck all the niceities that the 1600 Crew puts out and the Post dutifully transcribes on their behalf like this, burying the numbers in the second-to-last graf is just wrong. SCLMspeak:

GOP strategists, likewise, hope that the proposed changes to Social Security can transform a program that has long been identified with the Democrats, creating a generation of new investors who see their interests allied with the Republicans.
...
Republicans note that limiting the growth of lawsuits and damage awards, as well as proposed investment accounts in Social Security, are ideas Bush and other conservatives have championed for years. The Bush agenda lies "at the wonderful intersection where good policy is good politics for Republicans and conservatives," said Stephen Moore, president of the Free Enterprise Fund, which is lobbying for the Social Security changes.
...
The finance and investment banking community, which stands to benefit from the creation of private savings accounts financed through Social Security, provided overwhelming support to the Bush-Cheney campaign. The top 10 employers of Bush donors all are part of this sector, including Morgan Stanley, $604,480; Merrill Lynch, $580,004; and UBS Americas, $459,075. (emphasis added)

"The dividend tax cut, expanding IRAs and private Social Security accounts are all examples of President Bush and Karl Rove understanding that the more people we can lure into the 'investor class' with private pools of private capital, the better it is for Republicans and Republican issues," Moore said.

It's going to be the biggest battle of the next four years...one that we can't lose.

I will, however laugh my ass off at any plaintiff who voted republican when they go to court to try and seek redress in court against a company for an injury. Do they think it's only "the other guys" who are injured and seek financial compensation? Apparently the republican fat-cats are convinced that they can sell that idea to their loyal sheeple. I guess that's what makes them sheeple, they believe any crap they're fed...no questions asked, no answers needed. Until they file a lawsuit.
