The Center for Individual Freedom  filed a complaint Friday with the Senate Ethics Committee charging Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) with blatantly violating the Standing Rules of the Senate.

The complaint stems from Senator Reid’s public reference to a confidential FBI background report in disparaging comments he made about Judge Henry Saad, a nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.

Florida's own Congresman Robert Wexler (D) weighs in on Social Security, saying on his website that Social Security is sound, although going bankrupt.  Is it just him, or are they all that way?  No, I think he has a lot of company.  People like, Wexler, Kennedy, Byrd, Boxer, those kind, not all democrats.  It's democrats like these who will say that an increase is a cut  with a straight face, so it follows with their response to Bush's plan.  

From Rep. Wexler's website's Social Security page, paragraph one:

First, let me assure you that Social Security is a sound program.

From paragraph two:

Any attempt to create separate individual accounts for Social Security will only drain the current system, thereby bankrupting the system sooner than expected.

'Note to Congressman Wexler: If a system is expected to become bankrupt, it is not sound.' 

Thanks to the National Center Blog for that quote.  Couldn't have said it better myself.
