59. Good points but social security is not exactly controversial.
Nor is voting rights. These are broadly accepted by Democrats, Independents and most Republicans. I think anyone that doesn't stand up for these, given their wide popularity, is very suspect. I suspect that the people who want to trash social security and who support Republican electoral fraud will hardly give Ford a look.

The Kennedy's had a thing with anti-communism. Bobby actually worked for mean Joe (as I'm sure you know) and that was highly controversial as was civil rights at that time (although my man Harry Truman didn't shy away from that; told Strom not to let the door hit him on the way out).

Seriously, anyone that tries to screw social security deserves to be in Atrios' Wall of Shame.
