Al,

re: "deliberate distortion or lie"

I would change that to "deliberate distortion and lie". Just as they lied about the cost of the prescription drug benefit, among other things.

This admin has no integrity.

The essence of the matter is lost in the weeds of your pointless excursions.

Bravo for such eloquent prose!

To use the term for SS and also pursue policies which have made the fed run out of money today and for the last several years is a "deliberate distortion or lie"

The policies don't make it a lie. The policies are not part of the statement and the statement is not about the policies. If saying social security will be insolvent is a lie than 90% of everything politicians say is a lie. As dishonest as I think politicians often are I think that is using the term lie far too loosly. In fact if I applied similar standards to you that you would apply to Bush I would have to call your statement about Bush a lie, but I don't agree with the standards you are applying so I wont.
