Joe Lieberman will vote with Bush and Repubs to destroy SS...

[kentuck]

Social Security is under threat as never before since it was begun under FDR. Bush will be looking for votes for his "privatization" plan and Joe Lieberman has hinted in the past that he could support such a plan. This is something all Americans should consider before the election in November. Forget Democrat vs Republican for just a moment and think of the damage that is to come. In the partisan noise and the smoky words, there is a danger like none our country has ever faced before. If the voters give their approval to Bush and the Repubs, and Joe Lieberman, it will be difficult to ever turn back.

1. Support Ned Lamont, the Democrat in the CT Senate race.

2. But Kentuck, Lieberman isn't the Democratic candidate

In fact, he's the de facto Republican candidate.

3. I guess we need to get that word out to more Democrats in CT...

They are not voting for the Democrat - they are voting for the de facto Republican candidate. Don't be fooled people. Kick Joe out once and for all. Send him back down in the polls. Maybe we can "forgive" him?

4. Thanks for bringing it up again.

We tend to think that bush has dropped Social Security since it was a losing battle for him in the past, but I have no doubt that he will try to sneak this in again. This is how he seems to win battles that we think are a sure thing. Back door politics, just like he got his way with Bolton and a number of judges, and most recently, torture. They almost have it down to a science: They set up a "coalition" of republican and democratic senators who loudly oppose bush, coughing and sputtering and making demands, and then before you know it...VOILA!!..."We have now reached an honorable agreement with the administration." (which in actuality means that the administration gets exactly what it wants).

This formula has worked 100% of the time, especially with the cooperation of "democratic" leaders, the likes of Lieberman, the brothers Nelson, etc.

Dems: DO NOT CONTINUE TO FALL FOR THESE TACTICS.

5. Is it time for a tin foil hat...

I believe bucshco* came into this game with the purpose of bankrupting the country in order to do away with The New Deal. Americans would not willingly go along with his plan which left only one way to get results: bankruptcy.

Look at the massive tax giveaway to the rich as soon as he hit office, a grab for Iraq's oil with taxpayer $ funding the reconstruction for corporate war profiteers (Iraqis weren't put to work to help reconstruct the country) and an all out war on SS. I'm convinced it was planned that way.

I hate to ask this as I probably should know. but can lieberman be recalled should he be reelected? I don't think people would appreciate his cacausing with the gop against their interests.
