Democrat offers plan; fellow Dems angered and confused

I chuckled at the wording of this AP story – “Democratic congressman offers first Social Security fix”:

Breaking with party leaders, a Democratic congressman plans to introduce Social Security legislation, saying his first commitment is to his constituents.

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., said Friday: "I have the largest amount of Social Security recipients of any Democrat anywhere in the country. My allegiance to seniors is greater than my allegiance to the Democratic Party."

And how did the House minority leader respond to this maverick legislator?

Wexler said he had twice spoken with Pelosi about his plan. While he would not reveal her reaction, he said, "It would be wrong to assume it was a receptive conversation."

Bwahaha!!! And here’s more from B4B.
