Looks what's going to swing states for the 73rd birthday of Social Security!
Click here to see the flyer - it is so cool - its actually pretty DU!

On Social Security's 73rd birthday, the AFL-CIO has announced it's sending a mailing -- at first to 50,000 targeted swing-vote seniors living in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania -- that hits McCain on his wealth and his past support for partially privatizing Social Security. The flier also mentions that McCain, who is 71, has already been receiving Social Security benefits.

The flier begins: "McCain's worth over $100 million... He owns 10 houses... He flies around on a $12.6 million corporate jet... He walks around in $520 loafers. If John McCain lost his Social Security, he'd get by just fine. Would you?"

More: "John McCain wants to gamble with our Social Security... John McCain started receiving Social Security when he turned 65. But now he has a risky scheme to privatize Social Security -- threatening our benefits."

4. THis is great. We have a coalition of attackers this time.
Moveon, AFL-CIO, The DNC, and the Obama campaign. They are all hitting hard, and I like it.

The truth is a bitch, ain't it grampy?

grampy: "What is this 'truth' you speak of?"
