Democrats should not be drawn into this debate about better benefits for lower income workers. It is like debating what type of WMD Iraq had before the war; THERE WEREN"T ANY, PERIOD, so the type is irrelevant.

Democrats need to stay on message; Bush and his ilk want to destroy Social Security, period.

This administration felt super confident, post Iraq, and post election, that they could lie to the American people, the people would buy there lies again, like they did with Iraq, and they could go forward with privatization. Privatization is a back door means to destroy Social Security, period. Privatization will load the system with so much debt at an accelerated pace, while artificially propping up the stock market, they can say with a somewhat straight face, "well it was a grand experiment, but it was just another failed social program."

They kill three birds with one stone; destroy Social Security, funnel trillions of dollars to their filthy rich friends on Wall Street, and ensure those filthy rich have plenty of cash to donate to their future campaigns.

Remember, their goal, is the ultimate destruction of Social Security, therefore they have looked at the abysmal polls, and have come to the conclusion, they will have to put out this phony proposal, as phony as WMD in Iraq, to try to win over the lower income people, bring up the poll numbers, and push forward their destruction plan.

Remembering their goal is to destroy Social Security, I want you try a little experiment. Without them knowing your opinion, ask the most right wing neo-con people you know what they think should happen to Social Security; they will tell you it needs to be destroyed. Then ask yourself this. Are moderate Republicans in charge right now, or right wing neo-cons?

Never forget, ultimately their goal is to destroy Social Security.
