A monumental reason why we must continue...
to fight for our right to vote and our way of life.

They are using wins in the last couple of elections to create the impression that voters approve of their messages; are you scared yet.

In a document leaked to rawstory the destructors of social security put this on page 15.

The rest may be found here...

The effort to expose the election fraud is more important to democracy than anything, because only then can we uncover the whole truth. This is one page of three just like it.


General Comments About 2002 Social Security Case Studies:
Vin Weber: “The Most Important Political Fact Of This Year’s Election Is That A Group Of Brave Candidates -- Pat
Toomey And Anne Northup In The House Of Representatives, And Elizabeth Dole, Jim Talent, Norm Coleman And
Lindsey Graham In The Senate, Come Immediately To Mind -- Stood Their Ground On Social Security.” (Vin Weber, Op-
Ed, “‘Third Rail’ Grail,” The Wall Street Journal, 11/18/02)
“Nevertheless, In The November Elections, Every Candidate Who Supported Individual Retirement Accounts Won His
Or Her Bid For Congress.” (Christian Bourge, “Social Security Change ‘More Acceptable’,” United Press International, 12/6/02)
• “They Did This Despite Attacks Ads And Hostile Rhetoric From Their Democratic Opponents, Which Typically
Painted Republicans As Being Reckless With Retirees’ Government Benefits.” (Christian Bourge, “Social Security
Change ‘More Acceptable’,” United Press International, 12/6/02)
“Here’s My Armchair Assessment, Of How The World Of Politics In Washington Changed On November 5. Winner:
Social Security Privatization - Dole, Graham, Sununu, And Talent All Campaign On Private-Accounts Option - And
Win.” (Stephen Moore, Op-Ed, “Winners, Losers, Wannabes, And Has-Beens,” National Review, 11/12/02)
“Former House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt And His Lieutenants At The Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee Bet The Ranch That This <2002> Election Would Be A Referendum On Social Security. Their Ranch Went
Bust.” (Gary J. Andres, Op-Ed, “Lessons Learned,” The Washington Times, 12/5/02)
“House Races Won By Pat Toomey In Pennsylvania And Clay Shaw In Florida Also Stand Out. Both Reform
Supporters Represent Districts With Relatively High Percentages Of Older Voters, And Both Won Handily Despite
Being Hammered By Opponents For Not Favoring ‘Protecting’ Social Security.” (Jerry Heaster, “Sands Shift On Social Security,”
Kansas City Star, 11/17/02)
“Thus, Although Social Security Reform May Not Happen Next Year, Pro-Reform Leaders Now Know They Can Debate
The Issue Honestly And Openly Without Fear It Will Be A Career Killer.” (Jerry Heaster, “Sands Shift On Social Security,” Kansas
City Star, 11/17/02)
“Hans Reimer Of The Anti-Private Account Campaign For America’s Future Called The North Carolina And South
Carolina Races ‘Bellwethers’ That Would Hinge On The Issue Of Social Security Reform. Neither Elizabeth Dole … Nor
Lindsey Graham … Made Any Attempt To Hide Their Support For Individual Accounts. … Given A Clear Choice, Voters
Chose Both Mr. Graham And Mrs. Dole By Large Margins.” (Michael Tanner, Op-Ed, “Social Security And The Election Outcome,” The
Washington Times, 11/10/02)
Bob Novak: “Victories By Candidates Who Vigorously Endorsed Individual Private Retirement Accounts Shattered A
Tenet Of American Political Folklore: Social Security Is The Third Rail For Republicans; Touch It, And You Will Die.”
(Robert Novak, Op-Ed, “GOP Can’t Lose On Privatization,” Chicago Sun-Times, 11/11/02)
• Bob Novak: “This Year, Almost All Brave Enough To Touch It Survived. Some Who Did Not Were Losers,
Raising Suspicion That They Should Have Taken The Risk.” (Robert Novak, Op-Ed, “GOP Can’t Lose On Privatization,”
Chicago Sun-Times, 11/11/02)

3. Well at least we have a list...
I wonder how many from the right's payola squad got a little extra from unlcle Karl in their x-mas stockings over the last couple of years. There are many reporters/infonewstainers named in the document, how valuable would their opinion be if it was paid for and consistently showed up in policy documents?

Are there policy docs such as this one that quote those who have outed as members of the payola squad?
