WASHINGTON –RNC Communications Director Brian Jones issued the following statement on today’s speech by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) regarding Iraq: “It’s remarkable that Sen. Kennedy would deliver such an overtly pessimistic message only days before the Iraqi election. Kennedy’s partisan political attack stands in stark contrast to President Bush's vision of spreading freedom around the world. The world is watching whether America has the will to stand with the Iraqi people as freedom takes root in their nation, and no democracy has ever risen out of defeatism.”

"I have never, nor will I ever, ask or direct Social Security employees to promote or advance any specific proposal for Social Security reform," Jo Anne Barnhart, commissioner of Social Security, said in a statement. "Our job at Social Security is to provide services and benefits and to educate the American public about the programs and finances of Social Security."

At Friday's session, several Democrats said they would not support the Bush plan because it undercuts the nature of Social Security as an insurance program that guards against poverty in old age. "We want a guaranteed benefit, not a guaranteed gamble," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski (news, bio, voting record), D-Md.

Also objecting was James Roosevelt Jr., whose grandfather, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, signed the Social Security Act into law. "He was adamant that Social Security was an insurance program ... not an investment plan," James Roosevelt said.

Brian Jones, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee (news - web sites), called the Friday's Democratic forum a farce.

1. You have to grant that Mr Jones may be an expert on farces

given that he's involved at the highest levels of the Republican Party.

2. brian jones is The "FARCE"! And can't make

any cognizant arguments for their plan to rape SS.

And anyone pushing the privatization of Social Security is trying to undermine millions of recipients who count on that as their retirement.

They don't need to suck it up with a cut in benefits so bushgoons can bleed more money in Iraq and reap More money on wall street.

3. Weasel...."Specific" Plan....No Specifics Just Privatization....

She is obviously a BIG liar like all the Bushites. Listening to SS employees testify today, it's obvious she's lying in a real sense but technically she weasels out of the charge with the "specific" denial.

What a load...
