"Moderate" sellout on Social Security?

"Moderate" (sic) "Republicans" (sic) appear ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Stephen Moore and Peter Ferrara report on efforts to scuttle reform.
There’s an old saying that applies to politics: “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.” This latest GOP capitulation to the Democrats would throw the baby out and keep the bath water. It would be reminiscent of the counterproductive deal the White House struck on education reform a few years ago. The one and only conservative idea in the bill — school vouchers — was dropped, and the liberals got their whole bag of goodies. It was a package that only Ted Kennedy could love.
Update:

Rick Santorum responds on NRO to say it ain't so.
