Fainthearted Faction Dean Rep. Allen Boyd (D) of Florida does the playbook shuffle in his latest weekly email newsletter …

Many who oppose reforming the Social Security program have falsely claimed that personal accounts would lead to the privatization of Social Security. I am not an advocate of privatizing Social Security, our nation’s largest and most successful entitlement program. The Kolbe-Boyd bill does not privatize Social Security, but instead, allows every American the opportunity to control his or her own retirement through the creation of publicly-administered personal accounts.

Any progress on getting some to run against this joker?
