Reply #14: Russert has no shame [View All]

Russer gets his talking points from the GOP. Look at this recent exchange he had with Chris Matthews:

Matthews: There have been a lot of polls recently showing a very sharp division on Social Security reform: People under 55, a pretty good-sized group, are kind of for reform and people over 55, also a pretty good-sized group, are against it. What are the 55 and older afraid of in reform?

Russert: They are just panicked that this system, the insurance system they paid into all their lives, may, in fact, go away — despite how many times they’re told not to worry about it. They also think the current system is a pretty good idea. They saw their parents and their grandparents taken care of, and think, “Why disrupt a good thing.”

Which poll Matthews? Russert's trying to reassure seniors that bush has a good plan... clearly he has some skin in the game!
