Conrad Burns Cases Cookie Jar
Sometimes people just know they are being lied to. Maybe that's why Denny Rehberg didn't show up to push George Bush's plan to dismantle Social Security through deception. Conrad Burns apparently took it pretty hard at the college on Saturday when he and Social Security Administration spokesperson Delia Lasanta wasted a bunch of taxpayer dollars selling the problem to Flathead area citizens.
He found out that we know they have been playing shell games with our money;
Small wonder that Burns voice had the high pitched crack of a man telling his wife he really didn't know where those panties came from when he was telling the television crew how honest they [he and Delia Lasanta] were.

Elmer Bastrom of Whitefish said the government has to eliminate Congress' ability to raid the Social Security trust fund to subsidize spending in other areas.He also found out that there are people here who flat out do not trust this administration at all:
Burns acknowledged that previous lock-box bills haven't been successful in locking away Social Security money.
"That's because you had the key," Bastrom shouted. "I have a union pension that's good 'til the day I die because no one touches it but me. You've let everybody spend it [Social Security]. I want it fixed so these kids can 'say my retirement is good.'
Eric Funk of Whitefish said he too has questions about trust.
"Why should I trust this administration to act in my own best interest?" he asked.

Yes, I read on Senator Burns' website that EVERYONE was invited to the listening sessions before I posted this, but your logic there is pretty weak.
It was pretty weak but not nearly as weak as the logic you used to excuse the fact he rejected the sense of the Senate ammendment promising not to do anything that would substantially cut benefits or raise the cost.
The words "to love, honor and cherish...through sickness and health..." are not legally binding either. All the same, I wouldn't do the deal with someone who wouldn't say them.

Excuse me, but the original post has not been altered in any way.
Are you are referring to the comment that was deleted, it was a duplicate of the one that is still up there, I just didn't think it went through and didn't want to type a response to your comment twice.
The last part of my comment addressed your post about Burns irresponsible vote in favor of massive benefit cuts and cost overruns.
Disagree with me all you want, but keep your hands off my checkbook I believe in responsibility based on the reality I have, not the reality I would like to have.
