Take your attention off of Kerry for a sec and remember that Bush plans to piratize Social Security
(AGAIN)

"President George W. Bush, whose effort last year to overhaul Social Security proved highly unpopular, said he plans a renewed push to rein in the costs of entitlement programs after the elections."

1. SS is a big safety net for many elderly persons. Take that away and
you are going to see many people dying in the near future.

2. Indeed, I recall this summer when a repoerter lobbed a softball to him
That a seasoned politition could have knocked out of the park:

"With two and a half years remaining in your term, what do you see as a priority to seat your legacy in the 21st century".

Now Buxh could have lied and said "peace in the Middle East" or perhaps "work to end the genocide in Darfur and in the world in general"
He could have pretended to possess compassion by replying that "He wants to help raise the working class to new standards".

But nooooo....That dumbass said he was going to devote the remaining years to destroying Social Security.

Of course he used different words, but that's how I heard it.

4. Please remove the Kerry part from the title...
I don't want to hear or see his name for days.

5. I think it's too late for him to edit the title
but this is an issue that should be in the media.
