8. This fight is tailor-made for the Dems
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 04:28 PM by abernste
Social Security is about as sacred to the party as anything else out there. It transcends everything we stand for and is one of the few policies that should unite EVERY segment of the party. More importantly, it is the best example of the fact that REAL VALUES are not about who prays the most, but who takes seriously their responsibility to take care of older generations.

If the Dems don't put up a united and fearless fight on this one, when will they ever??

And yet, you already see some Dems --like that prick Allen Boyd in Florida -- who are already making plans to give in.

On edit: look at this if you don't know what I'm talking about in that last sentence. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041208/ap_on_go_co/congress_social_security_3
