Mommy, What Does Extortion Mean?

Now, I don't know if this is illegal or just mean, but I don't think it's very nice to Mr. Bush to threaten members of Congress with "facing a price at the ballot box" if they don't vote for his silly Social Security Privitization plan.

As they all should know, the Congressional Budget Office says that Social Security will remain solvent until 2052, and there is no "crisis."

The Daily Howler tells us just what a mean, nasty, lying piece of scum George Bush is, in trying to push this thing through. And now he's threatening our nice Congressmen and women, that should just want to make America a better place and serve their constituents. What a meanie.
