They don't spell it FLORIDUHHHHHHHHHH for nothing.
The race in Florida isn't dead even. Fox is quoting the ONLY poll that shows it that way. It's called making news.
About a week ago, Michael Savage was talking about one of Kerry's grandfathers being a leader of the cartel responsible for importing opiates into China some 80+ years ago. I don't know, but we seem to have a couple of billionnaires, who favor drug use, bankrolling another billionnaire with some familial association to drug distribution. Just what is Kerrys plan?
Take a pill and lie down.
"And why do Republicans bring a Nerf bat to a gun fight?"
I would hardly call the Swift Boat vets a "nerf bat." What the old folks need to be made aware of is that it would take an act of Congress (several perhaps) to privatize any portion of social security. No President can do it through executive order or somehow "rush it through."
It was inevitable that Kerry was going to demagogue Social Security in the final two weeks. That's exactly what Gore did four years ago, Kerry was saving this for now. The question is whether the Bush campaign was savvy enough to anticipate this. We'll find out soon enough.
Keep in mind that if Kerry runs ads that are blatant, obvious lies, then we can run counter ads that both refute what Kerry says AND nail him as a liar. So this game of lying about Social Security is a desperate high risk tactic by Kerry. He's looking more desperate every day. That comment about Cheney's daughter was an obvious attempt to suppress the Christian vote. If Kerry runs a lot of ads with lies about Social Security, we can run counter ads that will take back at least as many votes as Kerry gained with his ads.
Kerry may actually score points with younger voters who see privatization as a way of getting out of the ponzi scheme.
Liberals demagoguing Social Security, geez, where did they come up with that original idea?
Anything to scare the older voters. They are also stirring up panic with this flu vaccine (non)issue and blaming Bush.
How many greedy geezers live in Fl., Oh., Pa.?
The Dems try this crap every 4 years, to scare seniors. The Bush camp should run an ad, showing replays of previous Dem candidates and refer to the tactic as Rush does, "the Dems are using their same old play book". They should use "lines" from the last debate to outline that something must be done, as funds will eventually be depleted. Kerry offers no good "PLAN".
And ABC News thinks that distortion is not central to Kerry's campaign? On just two issues, the draft and social security, lies and distortion have become Kerry's campaign.
Ed Assner phone harrasment should start any minute now...
Ed Asner using his 'trusted older guy Lou Grant image' to sway seniors
Ed Asner told Seniors that GW Bush was going to 'steal' their Social Security money...
That he was going to throw them all off SS and into the street homeless and penniless
Seniors better wake up quick...GW Bush's word is as good as gold...he is the only hope that SS will stay solvent enough to care for them...
The Dems are famous for raiding SS for other liberal projects...their beloved Commie Jimmy the Peanut a prime example of raiding SS for his socialist projects...giving money to Cuban mental patients and murderers Fidel dumped on us...with Carter's approval...to this day Carter still kisses Fidels butt...
Boy will Kerry be in a box if he wins. He won't be able to touch Social Security benefits and won't be able to raise taxes to pay for it.
