Two Faced

So Progress for America has a new ad up:

President Bush wants to rescue Social Security.

[Image of Bush's State of the Union speech.]

President Bush asked for all ideas to be put on the table.

[Image of a stopwatch, next to the words "Social Security."]

Can you think of any ideas national Democrats offered?

[The stopwatch ticks away seconds as the camera zooms around. Screen goes black.]

Democrats have no solutions for Social Security.

[The stopwatch appears again.]

Social Security is too important for partisan games. Tell Congress. 202-225-3121. PFAvoterfund.com. PAID FOR BY PROGRESS FOR AMERICA VOTER FUND.

Remember now, the President hasn't put forth a proposal either. And don't you dare criticize his proposal that he hasn't put forward, say conservatives. How can you criticize something that doesn't exist, they say.

So you could basically revoice this spot, change "national Democrats" to "President Bush," and roll with it.

Once again, they try to have it both ways.
