Something I Noticed On The Morning News Today
A WH reporter said polls are showing that more people agree that SS is in trouble. It was on CBS. Sorry, I can't remember the guy's name. I read somewhere here on DU not too long ago that this is what they'd try to do, come up with BS polls, etc. WE CAN"T FALL FOR IT! I, for one, do not.
What's with bu$h's lame-a$$ tour. Damn, I wish he'd come to my toen of 260 people in northern Wisconsin, a Democratic haven in a long-time repug county. He'd get a helluva reception here. . . which reminds me . . . aren't there protests? Seems like I heard or read something about that too. Anyway, I'd just wondering what my fellow DUer's think about this. I think this is bu$h's undoing, at last.

1. Reminder to NJ DUers: * in Westfield today to tout his "rescue" of SS.
Show up and show your contempt. Bring signs for the media (one word is sufficient: LIAR!)

2. unfortunately if I had to bet, I would bet that ss goes private
I have no confidence in the democrats. Yes, I know they are a minority, but they make very little waves that get attention

Why do they still take the high road?

When there is a republican congressman from Nevada who says liberals should be human shields in iraq, and their hate filled speech constantly fills the airwaves, its time we say:

"I AM MAD AS HELL, AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE"

call them what they are, NAZIS

They have surpressed the balance of power, manipulate the fourth estate, and their lies go unanswered

When will the Democrats in Congress unify, and get a backbone?

4. I agree with you.
So far the neocons have gotten everything they want. Why are they going to stop at SS? Just because a few Dems and Unions show what liars they are doesn't mean they have given up on turning SS into a get rich quick scheme for wall street.

5. The only thing that gives me some solace
is the the idiots who voted for * or didn't vote ten years from now will wonder why they can't afford to send their kids to collge or why they can't retire.

What bothers me is the double edged sword, those that voted against bush will also suffer

3. The same way they drummed up support for the Iraq war.................
lie, lie and lie some more. Soon, very soon, with a public that is so misinformed, it becomes the truth to them. HIS plan isn't going to float with them though. They may be stupid and uninformed, but they're not THAT stupid and uninformed.
This urgency is all contrived, but not too many people are paying attention. Again. Still. Yet.
