and make a vigorous defense of those cornerstones of the Dem party. And, for God's sake, NEVER AGAIN utter the words, "Governor Romney and I agree on Social Security.". GMAFB!!!!

Unequivocal defense against the Republican party (yes, dammit, say, "the Republican party&quot assault on these fundamentals has to be repeatedly stated in no uncertain terms.
