COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - If re-elected, President Bush (news - web sites) plans a "big January surprise" and will move quickly to allow some private Social Security (news - web sites) accounts that will reduce benefits for retirees and swell the U.S. deficit, Democratic Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) said on Sunday.

Good point! The DemoHypocrites have no problems using God and faith to promote their agenda, but God forbid a conservative says anything inside a house of worship. HYPOCRITES! DEMAGOGUES! VERMIN!

"The January Surprise"

How hilarious. It reminds me of Old Al Gore and his feverish rant about "blowing a hole" in social security. Kerry is getting desperate with phony conspiracy theories about the draft, social security, voter fraud, healing the paralyzed etc. He must be trying to keep the opponent on the defense. As long as Bush can keep his talking heads on TV to refute all of this nonsense things should keep going fine.

I wonder if the voters know that all state workers in California do NOT pay into Social Security system and instead invest in their own (CalPers) retirement system where they can allocate 100% of their deductions.

These folks (including the Teachers unions) are the strongest opponents of just 10% privatization of the Social Security system, meanwhile they can allocate 100% of their retirement taxes. HYPOCRITES! LYING VERMIN! These bastards are enjoying their benefits but refuse to let the rest of us regular citizens have even one tenth of the privileges they have. And John Kerry is their man.

Kerry got it all wrong. The plan calls first for cancellation of Kerry's SS account to deprive him of all the potential SS benefits as "undeserving".

All Bush has to say is "How can Kerry know all these surprises that I'm supposed to secretly unlease when I win re-election, when he hasn't been to work in the last 20 years?"

Kerry is a liar.

Apparently so is Reuters. They report this claim as if it's a known fact.

ANOTHER Secret Plan? PLEASE! A clear case of projecting his ideas on his opponent.
The old saying goes, "If your Preacher is always preaching against sex, don't leave him alone with your wife."
This is why we no nothing of Kerry's plans, THEY ARE SECRET!

Carl Cameron on Fox even admitted that these charges by Kerry regarding Social Security are false but that they think that with the election so close, ANY thing they say could sway just enough people to make the difference. Of course, this is because the New York Times and other MSM will quote Kerry's speech against Bush, but will conveniently forget to tell the sheeple that his speech is based on lies. I tell you old people in Florida will believe this - Florida will go to Kerry unless Bush goes on national television and disputes it. Never mind, he has denied the draft rumor and the Kerrys and MSM are still saying it is true.

Yes, Kerry is desperate.
He is now pandering to the seniors.
However, they weren't born yesterday.
Almost everyone has met a Kerry-like person along the way.
Sleezy, cheating, lying cons.
It is the lingo of the con man.
Won't play....

Whoa.....so Kerry discovered another one of Bush's "Secret Plans" to harm a specific demographic?

The Bush team needs to clamp down on their leaks.....maybe Rove needs to start classifying all the dastardly "Secret Plans" as "Double-Secret Plans With A Cherry On Top"

We should all be resetting the base-codes of our Official Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Decoder Rings too.

And we need to start thinking about hiding Free Republic.

Why is it the MSM is so quick to "Fact Check" the debates and they will not Fact Check the junk coming out of Kerry's mouth on the campaign trail?

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF jOHN kERRY GOING INTO THESE BLACK CHURCHES TO CAMPAIGN. HE DID IT AGAIN TODAY. WHY IS HE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS??????

I totally agree but Clinton and Gore did the same thing - no one plays the separation of church and state line when Dems do it, but let the Pres or VP appear in church or a Bishop say something about voting and Catholic beliefs and the Dems go nuts.

BTW - I just saw an ad presented by Carl C on Fox about the soc sec and 30-45% will lose their soc sec. It's the same scare tatic the Dems play every election to scare the seniors. The NY Times conveniently ran an article stating about the same - Gov Raciot and the Bush campaign have said the article mis-quoted President Bush - and the MSM continues to spin the Dems line.....

I hope it's true.

Maybe I'm being optimistic, but the Republicans will enjoy political power for 200 years if it is.

After all, even inept boobs hate being screwed and being told they're doing themselves a favor.
