Moron* is spending his earned "capital" on this fucked up SS reform.

Now if it tanks, which it seems like it just may, I would think that morons opinion on anything from that point on will be worthless. Or am I just dreaming?

1. you're dreaming
As much as I hate to say it, I think you're dreaming. People in this country seem to just like Bush. It's like Americans are just watching an infant fuck up a whole bunch of times and saying, "oh how cute".

4. It will put a dent in his armour when it flails, no doubt
Some moderate Repukes are already saying they will not support this. Those that are a part of the brainwashed flock wont be fazed by it though. Their cult leader can do no wrong.

6. You might be optimisitic.
But I am thinking along the same lines. (As in, this can't go on forever.) I mean can you fool most of the people all of the time?

I think this will go the Mars route. Perhaps that's not embarrassing enough. But Bush's future "crises" will get much more scrutiny. And the Congress may actually get pressure from the people to go against it.

Problem is, if Bush's plan goes through, he'll be long gone before the shit hits the fan.
