"We told you yesterday afternoon that The New Republic's Ryan Lizza had something in the works and here it is. In Lizza's new piece about the Dems' get-tough stance on opposing President Bush's Social Security phase-out bill, he sat down with Fainthearted Faction member Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, who told him ... "Social Security is a safety net. That's what it's there for. It's there to be the safest portion of your portfolio. It's a guaranteed benefit for a reason, and, for that reason, I don't support private accounts ... I think there is broad consensus among New Democrats that you must not privatize the system." Make that, ex-Fainthearted Faction member Rep. Adam Smith of Washington."-from Talking Points Memo. Update: I have been reminded that Adam has only seen some of the light, not all of it. He is not supporting Dean for DNC Chair.
