Marcy Kaptur, Dick Cheney and the Death of Social Security

[Liberal Left]

Upon entering Congress, Marcy Kaptur voted with Dick Cheney for the largest CUT to Social Security in its history. She continues down a path which will lead to the ultimate death of Social Security and workers' rights. As war profits fill her campaign chests, workers hope their champion Dennis Kucinich will be victorious on March 6th.

1. I'm a fan of Dennis, but don't understand the attack on Ms. Kaptur....

... who has a strong liberal reputation.


Any fact checkers here?

3. Near as I can tell, that article is pure bullshit...

Here's a rundown of HR 1900, 1983, and I don't see the largest SS cut in history:

2. Pathetic.

Kucinich raises very little of his campaign money in his district, he gets most of it from out of state, I think the figure is less than 5% of Kucininch campaign funds are raised here.


Without that money pouring in from everywhere but Ohio, he'd never win.

So we have outside money influencing Kucinich who is beholden to his benefactors.
