Rick Santorum Defends Himself on Social Security

Rick Santorum responds to the Letters page of the Philadelphia Daily News today and he seems a bit piqued at some of the citizens who've been writing against his advocacy of the Administration plan. Though it was the central feature of his campaign for Bush's Social Security Reforms, Santorum does not mention private accounts once. Not once. That's a lie by ommission, since that's the feature his interlocutors are most concerned about.

Have the Republicans given up on private accounts, or are they searching for a snappy name before they remarket their reforms? How does "individual millionaire accounts" sound? Well, as long as they're lying we can help them think of something effective. "Operation Betraying the Elderly" just won't sell.

Tip of the cap to Attytood!
