If Obama Cuts Social Security, It Will Destroy the Democratic Party

Sam Seder talks with Bill Scher of the Campaign for America's Future about how Republicans will spin a Barack Obama led cutting of Social Security into the destruction of the Democratic party and about the chatter on the Left for a primary challenge to Obama in 2012.

1. Two years no COL despite a clear rise in food prices?

You think SS hasn't been cut?

[sasha031]

3. it's it going on 3yrs now

[jwirr]

9. The COLA is connected to inflation rates and this is the problem. It

should have been connected to the cost of living in the first place.

[sasha031]

2. I agree with Sam, cuts to SS will ruin the party

love Sam, he hosted for Keith last night and was brilliant.

4. Democratic party needs a new direction (period). n/t

[OHdem10]

5. Cut SS and this is grounds to leave Party en masse.

Consider working out a collaboration of Greens, Unions
Aftican Americans, Hispanics GLBT. Together they should
be able to have a respectable sized party.

I am saying this not to create any problem but to
affirm the notion that the DLC Centrists Blue
Dogs have followed GWB and Delay over into the
Right's Playing Field, many of us no longer
recognize the presence of a Democratic Party.
Cutting SS is a stake through our heart.

At least those Republicans are smart enough to
say they grandfather in all those over 55. For
them nothing will change. That CatFood Commission
went after SS like a pitbull after a steakbone.
Social Security should never have been put on
that Catfood Commission-s dish.

As I said--last resort.

6. At this point I'm ready to believe that someone found his Kenyan birth certificate

and is blackmailing him.

17. Aw, stop picking on Obama. He has so much unfinished work to do.

Like electing a Republican Senate.....

[Doctor_J]

7. Already on life support. Two years ago Limpballs and Boner were dead on their feet

Now they again rule the land, because we chose an appeaser. How sad.

[tcaudilllg]

8. Au contraire: our party is a phoenix

Even now, we rise from our own ashes.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. absolutely it will if he hasn't already done so with the bush tax cuts.

[NorthCarolina]

12. If, IF? What's with all this "IF"? nt

[sirthomas66]

13. This is EXACTLY what will happen. It will be the end of the Democratic

Party and also America, although the latter will take time to collapse.

[avaistheone1]

14. Sam is correct.

It will be the end of the Dems.

[defendandprotect]

15. GOP doesn't want this on their heads -- so they sent Obama ....

who has a backbone of STEEL when it comes to making decisions which

benefit corporate/elite interests!!

No weakness or caving there!!

:evilgrin:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. He's gonna do it...he said "he didn't care if it meant he was a one termer"....

I now truly believe it was all part of the plan from the beginning.

[sirthomas66]

18. He was basically a hired hand to the MIC. He did their bidding and

will collect an award...maybe.
