WAIT A MINUTE...KATHERINE HARRIS...CONSCIENCE...ISN'T THAT A CONTRIDICTION OF TERMS???

The issue of changing the Social Security programme to allow younger workers to take a part of their money which would otherwise go into the Social Security Trust Fund and place into "individual investment accounts" has some Democrats in Congress sounding like Bush lapdogs and some Republicans deciding they cannot support the President on this issue.

One really surprising item comes from Joshua Micah Marshall's Talking Points Memo: Katherine Harris (R - Longboat Key) has apparantly joined the "Conscience Caucus", an ever-growing group of Republicans who are choosing not to back Bush's proposal.

I thought we knew ye, Kathy. I'm sure that saddens her distant relative and fellow Republican back-bencher Adam Putnam (R - Bartow) who, like the Bush lapdog he is, will jump as ordered by his masters at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and vote appropiately...even though his district is 16th among those with the largest number of Social Security beneficiaries nationwide.
