Look who Rove has tapped to run his AARP slime-fest (Marshall - TPM)
Lovely, just lovely. We're already hearing that Rove has tapped Bill Bennett to take up his anti-AARP slime crusade. (More ..)

Trotting out their best moral scold, eh? This will be fun!

3. Bill Bennett is Bush's choice not Rove's.
Republicans are delighted when democrats criticize Rove rather than Bush. Democrats should begin insisting, or at least implying, that Bush is responsible for the things that he, his administration, and the republican party do.

4. No. It is the REPUBLICAN PARTY that is responsible. They and their
supporters raised the $10,000,000.00 to crush AARP under a load of lies. William Bennett was tapped by the REPUBLICAN PARTY to head the Book of Virtues run against AARP.

The REPUBLICAN PARTY hides behind a lame duck president to try to deflect the blame from them to him, so they can save their asses in '06 and '08.

Look at all the bankrolled front groups. Bush hadn't written the checks off his personal accounts. The REPUBLICAN PARTY and their corporate masters have.

It is no longer Bush. He has about as much charisma and clout as the Queen (actually the Queen has more charisma.) He is the front guy, the fall guy, the guy they will all apologize for when re-election time is here.

Bush will be gone someday, but the agenda will not.

8. Look at this from raw story...
http://rawstory.rawprint.com/205/mccrery_report_223.php

The Campaign for America's future, a group seeking to quash the "big money corporate agenda" will issue a report today showing that the Chairman of the House Social Security Subcommittee, Rep. Jim McCrery (R-LA) - President Bush's ally, and the man charged to push Social Security privatization through the House, has accepted nearly $200,000 in campaign contributions from the Wall Street interests that stand to gain the most from privatization. They also reveal two former McCrery staffers are now lobbyists for Wall Street.

Anyone that believes that Wall Street does not want the social security trillions because it will be time consuming and difficult to monitor "private" accounts has been drinking kool-aid.

6. Bennett, the lying pig of all pigs...is going to do a double hit...
with the Swift Boat gang & Linkletter to lie about the state of Social Security.

If we allow them one inch, they will have their lifelong dream of destroying Social Security---to privatize for Wall Street investment firms. They have no caring or soul...it's all about stealing our money...So what else is new?

The republicans won't give an inch...they want their foot in the door.

We have to stop them. The media won't be of any help to the truth.

www.moveon.org must be able to help???
