Social Security is the next battle

Bush's social security plan is unpopular and if it passes the Republican Party is in big trouble. The 65+ voters don't like anybody messing with their check since sometimes it's their only income. This is especially prevelant in rural areas and the south. That's why the Dems need to expose his plan for what it really is, a road to bankrupt social security.

1. the new talking points

are in comparing FDR and *moron...the new FDR.

yesterday it was the WOT compared to WWII, and *moron's policies as successful as FDR's in winning war.

now Mehlmen in WV no less says "that today's Democratic Party "isn't your grandfather's Democratic Party" of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the 1940s.

if the Repugs pull off this scam equating *moron and FDR, SocSec is doomed.
Hopefully the older generation who lived through FDR's legacy will not be fooled.

2. I thought the plan was pretty much toast already,

because of its unpopularity.
