A party of one
Washington Monthly, April, 2005 by Charles Peters
> Recently on Jim Lehrer's "News Hour," during the Brooks/Shields segment, David Brooks, in contending that the Republicans were much more flexible on Social Security reform than the Democrats, said that they were willing to raise the payroll tax on incomes over $90,000. After Brooks had repeated this point several times, Mark Shields leaned over and said, "Who are they?" Brooks sheepishly answered, "Bush and Lindsey Graham." Since on this issue Bush has been ambivalent at best, that leaves a "they" of one.
