Know The Stakes

Mike Barnicle is making sense (Lord help us), saying that these wedge issues about race and sleaze and negative attacks, when there are so many important issues facing the country, simply shouldn't be a part of the debate.

I agree. And I thought I'd share this video, which shows that the Republican Party, should they hold Congress in the midterm elections, plan to once again make an effort to destroy Social Security. This is from the Chairman of the Board, the Big Kahuna himself:



I heard that idiot Dick Armey today claim that one of the reasons conservatives are mad at the President is that he didn't ram Social Security through the Congress when he had the chance. He didn't do that because he wasn't able to do it. Because the country does not want it. These issues from way back in 2005, the ones that really impacted Bush's slide into oblivion, Social Security, the Schiavo case, should not be forgotten. If you care about your own retirement security and the security of your parents and grandparents, there's a clear choice in this election.
