A heads up...

...from the Bugman.

"Much of the talk about Social Security and tax reform in Washington these days is about which will be tackled in the next two years, and which will be put off until after the 2006 elections," DeLay said, according to his prepared remarks for the closed-door speech. "The answer, if you're interested is - do I have your attention? The answer is that we're going to do both before the 2006 elections."

And that, friends, is why we have to save our filibusters for the fights we can win.

And why 2006 is going to be yet another "most important election of our lives."
