Bush Says Congress Must Quit `Bickering' Over Social Security
June 14 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush called for an end to ``partisan bickering'' over Social Security as he extended his months-long campaign to overhaul the federal retirement insurance system into Pennsylvania.

The president also used the trip to raise money for one of his staunchest allies on the issue in Congress, Republican Senator Rick Santorum, who is up for re-election next year. A recent statewide poll shows he may face a tough race.

In the 36th event of a nationwide campaign on behalf of his Social Security proposals, Bush told a Future Farmers of America convention in University Park, Pennsylvania, that Congress must act to prevent Social Security's insolvency and to give younger workers a chance to use their payroll taxes to fund personal accounts invested in stocks and bonds.

``The easy path is to do nothing,'' Bush said. ``The tougher path is to come together and get something done.''

1. hee-hee-hee. he doesn't realize that the American People take that kind

of talk very personally. it's as if he's telling all of us to stop bickering... and coming from that bitch, well, he can just f*** right off.

18. Hey, I want to inject Michael Jackson into this thread!!!

But really one of the jurors yesterday said the reason she didn't vote guilty was because she didn't like the way the mother snapped her fingers, wagged her fingers and pointed.

I'm just saying, it's the same thing. We don't like being treated like naughty children.

[still_one]

42. i just hope the democrats will grow a spine

[Warpy]

3. WAAAH! I wanna get it all MY WAY!

You can tell nobody ever told him he couldn't have anything he wanted in his whole rotten, overprivileged life.

It's going to be interesting to see him decompensate.

[ElectroPrincess]

25. Exactly! He can't even get his senate cronies all aboard.

But just like a spoiled child who's used to getting it all his way * is going to whine and stomp his feet. Gee, he just may have to invade another sovereign Country to make himself and his Neo-Con War Machine investors (Caryle) feel better. :puke:

[despairing optimist]

52. Decompensate, nothing. I want to see him disassemble.

[tsuki]

4. "You won't do what I say, you're partisan." Keep preaching, Mr.

Bush. I tell everyone far and wide. A Republican Vote is a vote to destroy Social Security.

[jedr]

6. he's been given an alternative proposal that 65% of;

Americans agree with...ups the ceiling on contributions.....it works for everyone but him and the neocons.

[placton]

7. Herr Bush is trying "triangulation"

Since lotsa Goopers and most Dems know how vile his plan is, he's trying to "Clintonize" this, and run against Congress.

[Massachusetts]

8. The set up phrase

``The easy path is to do nothing,'' Bush said. ``The tougher path is to come together and get something done.''

[Demeter]

9. Since When Is Outright Refusal to Screw Oneself and

one's constituents "bickering"?

Bickering means a pointless quibble over details.

Refusal means take your proposal and phony "crisis" and stick it where the sun don't shine.

[LuPeRcALiO]

10. Sell it to the Future Farmers

and see if they'll buy it since nobody else will.

Oh and while you're there, push CAFTA, and mention that we won't need farms in the U.S. any more since we'll be outsourcing agricultural production to Central and South America.

[louis-t]

11. Mission Impossible

Total inflexibility on private accounts + no possible way to fund scheme without raising taxes = doomed to failure and * knows it. When it falls apart, he will blame the damn obstructionist Democrats.

[gratuitous]

12. Quit bickering and do as I say!

I'm too much of a gentleman to say it myself, but you should go see your vice president for my reaction to your petulant whining, Mr. Bush. Ask him what he said to Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor.

[Robeson]

13. To Bush: Your lips are moving, but we're not listening....

...you have no credibility, so get back to your golf game, and STFU.

[99Pancakes]

14. "Death of a Sales Pitch"

That's what we're calling it, 'cause that's what it is. Ha!

[LuPeRcALiO]

16. good one

nice pic too

[Catfight]

15. Will Bush stop ignoring American's and listen that we don't want his

plan for social security!

[99Pancakes]

17. Peek-a-Boo, Bubba Shrub

[Media_Lies_Daily]

19. The People say that Herr Busch must resign and stand trial.

[truthisfreedom]

20. time for bushboy to go back out on the road. the stories about fake SS

agents always get him lots of attention. and his ratings plummet a lot more effectively when he's out on the road chimping.

[Trajan]

21. They ARENT Bickering: EVERYONE hates it, George ! ....

[merwin]

39. My thoughts exactly

[malachi]

22. A recent statewide poll shows he may face a tough race.

MAY FACE A TOUGH RACE? Early polls have Casey with a sizable lead over Sen Man-on Dog. Must be that liberal media again.

[jedr]

31. the best part is that every time he opens his mouth, the gap gets

wider..Go get em Ricky!

[rocktivity]

23. When it comes to social security, Georgie

Doing nothing is the COST-EFFICIENT path. Adjusting the salary cap is the most logical one.

:headbang:
rocknation

[silvermachine]

24. America Says Bush Must Quit "Lying" About Social Security

EOM

[RamboLiberal]

26. Notice now he's pushing to High School Kids

Soon it will be the 2nd grade again. Better duck then - you know what happened the last time!

[99Pancakes]

29. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Good One!!!
:rofl:

[Kurovski]

27. No. George & the Pubs must

get the fuck out of the way and let the grown-ups handle Social Security.

Democrats are the ones who created it, Democrats will be the ones to maintain it.

Again: Republicans get the hell away from Social Security. Haven't you losers screwed up enough of our country as it stands?

[Roland99]

28. What's the Propagandist's SS approval? 39%? If that?

[gulliver]

30. Bickering! How folksy! The Kennebunkport con artist is so ...

... darned folksy! How can people not like this folksy, folksy man?

[dweller]

32. ..............

i'm speechless.

the stupidity of this *moron's insane babbling making "news headlines" ....

i'm approaching the state of just screaming at the computer monitor instead of posting anything. . . i could just type this instead.

:argh: :banghead: :argh: :banghead: :argh: :banghead:

33. What is Bush's hidden agenda?

Who will really profit from private Social Security, it can't be the American citizens.

[HockeyMom]

35. Wall Street

Chimperony has "debts" HE has to pay back.

[xxqqqzme]

47. interest coming due on all that capital

he collected. He must have used it up very fast.

[Patty Diana]

38. Wall Street !!!

[sakabatou]

34. Bush: a waste of time

[newscott]

36. Am I to assume that the reason he's still on this SS tour

is that he's actually trying to fill the RNC coffers for mid-terms and beyond?

I think that's the "political capital" he has so disingenuously spoken of in the past.

[pimpbot]

54. I agree, this whole tour is a scam to raise money!

How long has he been out there now? 6 months? Either he really cant take living in DC anymore (probably too many "minorities" around), or Rove thinks hes better out in the field as a roaming cash machine. Gotta bleed that 39% of their money before the 2006 elections!

[The_Casual_Observer]

37. "and get something done"

Was that a dare?

[CorwinB]

40. Perhaps...

Bush should really try catapulting this propaganda a bit higher ? Disassembling is such hard werk after all.

[LuPeRcALiO]

41. 'quit bickering and bend over'

'or do I have to drop a few more planes on your heads?'

[Dudley_DUright]

43. It is more like partisan snickering

Dems are laughing at your failed campaign. Keeping talking monkey boy, the more you talk, the worst your support for this becomes.

[Daphne08]

44. We'll bicker if we want to...

Congress Must Quit `Bickering' Over Social Security indeed!

Phooey! I hope they bicker til the cows come home! :eyes:

Bickering!

[struggle4progress]

45. The poor little guy is quite simply barking mad. eom

[xxqqqzme]

46. I wasn't aware of any 'bickering'

just rethugs regurgitating bushit and over 60% of the American people not buying it. Proof that even tho public opinion is clearly, completely against privitazation, commamder kookoo bananas listens first 2 his korporate kontributors and is going 2 cram it down our throats.


Have I mentioned how much I hate these people?

[Rex]

48. Rick and Bush

Wow. What a combination! Beastfucker and Horseblower. Again...WOW!

[mitchum]

49. The motherfucker seems to have a problem with democracy

[applegrove]

50. Oh you are such a big man Mr. President. Why not have private

accounts as an infusion of temporary money into the stock market so highly placed investment analysts can divest rich people from 'old corporations' and reinvest in the new ones. Let the little people hold the bag and invest with lesser knowledge. Put off that 'correction' for another few years.. we know how important it is that the next President has to live through the economic correction that should have taken place in 2002/2003.

And then the kids will pay for the huge deficit.

Terribly important that the rich in the USA become an Uber-elite (I say encased in amber-elites) and have the power then to skew the markets of the world in their favor.

Here is a choice? Why not take your bullies and go after countries that have lax tax laws so that capital flight isn't used as a tool to bully democracies. You remember democracies don't you? You invented to notion!

[Cha]

53. bush is the yehoo that is

dickering and bickering over SS. Stay home bush..we don't want to pay anymore for your traveling clown show.

And Quit throwing out those shit cliches to see what sticks on the wall.

[amazona]

55. no damn it they better keep bickering

We already paid extra since Reagan days to cover the supposed shortfall, and now it is agreed there is no shortfall. But they stole it to give to Halliburton and to kill Iraqis? Congress has a duty to keep dragging its feet so that our Social Security remains intact and unchanged.

[damntexdem]

56. The easier path is to do nothing. The harder, and smarter, path ...

is to impeach Bush!

[lumpy]

57. The wanna' be dictator is finding it hard

to buck the will of those citizens who want him to keep his slimy hands off SS.

[deadparrot]

58. "Yeah, bitches,

...just stop talking about it, and thinking about it, and DO WHAT I WANT."

:mad:
