Warning this may make you ill

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - In an interview Tuesday, Vice President Dick Cheney said the Bush re-election victory provided a mandate "for the notion of personal retirement accounts" and that Democrats would pay a political price among younger voters if they blocked them.

1. Is Dick referring to that 9-year-old they have going around talking about

their SS privatization plan?

[whistle]

2. Does that 9 year old have any credit card debt yet?

3. Dick is full of shit, as usual

4. Terrible, but funny...

... since all Republicans hid from the words "Social Security" for the last eight months of the campaign, including Messrs. Bush and Cheney. So, how exactly is the election a mandate for something that was never discussed in even the slightest detail during that campaign?

In fact, there is no Social Security plan right now. What's being discussed are talking points only as leaked by the Bushies. The administration has yet to provide an actual bill for Congress to debate.

It's hard to imagine the degree of insulation from the public that exists in the White House today in combination with the extent of their faith in BS.

5. I guess they missed that poll on Santorum's website

90% of respondants said no to private accounts, before the poll got removed...
