Because I do not believe that Republicans are as soft as they are made out to be anymore than I believe the majority of the legal population would prefer to be on the socialist dole .
It simply comes down to us as citizens who do vote to make solid informed choices , and to not settle for . There are a good # of people out there . Hell just on this thread alone !
As I just said Im far more cynical then most. If most citizens don't want to be on the dole then trying to get rid of social security wouldn't be political suicide.
