How much of the current $16 Trillion debt of the United States is due to Social Security???

Right. WE paid into it for decades.

THEY have been stealing from it for decades.

SS/Medicare in having problems because of THEM and their pilfering.

EJ Dionne and the other Dem talking as if the spending cuts have already kicked out of one side of their mouths and then arguing against such cuts out of the other side.

The kenyan attacks the Repubs while sitting on the beach eating sushi and the Reps whine about it instead of firing back. Guess who wins?

Actually, I bet Van Hollen forgot to mention that now the Bush tax cuts are OK with the dems after demonizing them for years and years. Funny how that works.

Boehner was forced to take a deal where he only got 98% of what he wanted,insuring tax cuts forever for Americans, and let the dems have a very shallow victory of being able to say that they got a tax increase out of him,for 2% of the rich which they really didn't.

When Boehner made the deal he did he preserved tax cuts for 98% of the country and the dems forced tax increases on 2% of the job producers.Is that a victory? So Boehner got about as much as he could out of a lying pack of thieves.

............................... Also, on a completely different yet similar topic you gotta wonder now if Bush's claims that there were wmds in Iraq that were later sent to Syria was true?

Seems it was.

So who are the big liars now?

How stupid they think we all are.

VERY.

Over 50% of the voters are of the "low information" types. I agree with Bray. IMHO we are no where near the bottom of the souless pit yet. It will take something like the A-Bombing of Japan on this nation to jolt it awake. The CULTURE ROT is horrendous - look all around you.

None of the current $16 Trillion debt is because the SS Trust fund is insolvent — NONE.

The government spending politicians just want to make it more solvent in the future so that they will have more money from it to use for their government spending programs.

Also note that one of the biggest hits to Medicare in recent years came with the pharmaceutical coverage — a payoff to pharmaceutical companies that sent drug prices through the roof.

I think that bray has been able to prove that in smaller areas of the country where God, country and motherhood/family values still have appeal door to door is a sure winner. This method may very well translate into much bigger areas of the country than we know.

Door to door,(if you ignore fraud)may well be the future of politics.It's a retail solution rather than using well know biased wholesalers.

Does that mean he never used the New Media,probably not.

Actually RG I have a manual I am updating that lays our plan out completely.

He is shooting holes in my argument most likely because he is a secularist who doesn’t want to make a choice. It is a very hard choice for many guys since they are comfortable with their atheistic lives. To admit God you have to admit your entire life was wrong.

Bray

Are electronic versions of primary voter turnout available? How / where would you get an electronic (spreadsheet) of the voting population in your area by declared party affiliation?

I would be interested in starting now on getting a primary opponent for my current Republican congrescritter.

Sorry about that only a part of my post made it through cyber space.....

What if a politician actually told the truth and said SS needs to be fixed and cuts have to be made? We have to raise the age and lower the benefits as well as stop raiding it.

Funny you should mention that. Mitch McConnell just did exactly that while facing an onslaught from DNC Dave. the biased POS interviewer tried his best to get McConnel to admit he was willing to shut the govt. down but got absolutely nowhere with McConnell. Every time dnc dave tried it McConnell came back and said the problem is zero won't cut spending never mention anything at all about shutting the gov.t down. Finally our side is learning how to deal with the DBM biased SOBers. Many are now saying that Mitch McConnell is doing Dingy Harry's job since Dingy Harry doesn't have a clue at best. No wonder Boehner told Harry to go F... himself last week!!Not once but twice!!

I see it as part of the RAT class warfare and redistribution of wealth from the seniors. We paid into our FICA accounts for decades and when we want to collect we are told it needs to be means tested? Couple that with the destruction of the US dollar and seniors are being raped.

Beginning November 24, 1936, the United States Government will set up a Social Security account for you, if you are eligible. To understand your obligations, rights, and benefits you should read the following general explanation.

I'll make this as brief as possible.

Recently re-financed my home. Bank asked for a copy of my S.S. "Awards" letter.

I said, "huh"?

Sure enough, at the top of the letter from S.S. advising me of how much monthly I would receive, it says "NOTICE OF AWARD".

I don't consider S.S. an award if I have been paying into it for 40+ years!

Try searching your state's Secretary of State website.

Yep. The dims are boiling the frog slowly. By the time enough people realize what they have done it will be too late.

Go to your county elections office and you can purchase them for around $125. It will give you all of your voters in your area by affiliation and then cross it with the Secretary of State voter list who actually voted.

We broke the voters down by how many times they voted in the past ten elections and then targeted accordingly. In the primary you target the higher voters and in the general target the lower Repubs and unaffiliated.

You can get more sophisticated from there if you have good excel people.

The key to winning elections is yard signs. They tell your neighbors who you are voting for and gets the names in front of people. Our current effort is getting local city councils and utility/school districts filled with our people.

Our system is an automatic for these elections since we can flood the ballot box with our voters.

Bray is right regarding the primary voter list.

It comes from your local elections clerk. There used to be a thing from the GOP called “voter vault” which may net you the desired information.

Any “R” candidate should have access to it.

One of the big problems is "open primaries". That needs to be fixed in certain states by the State Committees.
