No, it's the dirty low down tactics democrats employ. I can detect them, along with most reasonable people. We call ourselves Republicans. But, to the feeble minded like youself, their tactics actually do work. How to reach out to you, to show you that you are being used? I don't know. But, my heart bleeds for you and your fellow zombies of hate.

Here is just one example - Democrats do not want an honest discussion. They want to use scare tactics, hate mongering, and whatever devious devices they can to control their donkey herd.

--

SENIORS! LISTEN UP! YOU’RE BEING USED!

You need to be a bit careful who you sent e-mail to these days. One keystroke … and it’s gone. No pulling it back out of your mailbox. It’s gone.

This is what happened to one of the staffers to a Democratic Congresswoman from Ohio, Marcy Kaptur. Kaptur, being a good, loyal Democrat, is being counted on to be a full participant in Democrat Party efforts to frighten older Americans during this election year. Frighten them how? Scare them by making them believe that Republicans want to take away their precious Social Security checks.

So – here’s what happened. One of Kaptur’s congressional staffers sits down to write an opinion piece on Social Security. The piece discusses President Bush’s plan to “privatize” Social Security. It likens Bush’s plan to “corporate gambling.” The piece will presumably be offered to the media for publication. After this (as yet unnamed) staffer finishes the piece it is sent to other Democratic staffers for comment. In time the e-mail memo containing the opinion piece is expanded by comments from other staffers. At this point someone slips up. The e-mail memo, complete with the opinion piece and the comments, gets sent to a Republican staff member.

Oops. Don’t you just hate it when that happens?

Now … the “smoking gun.” In that memo is a note from another Kaptur staff member. This note says that the opinion piece is “not entirely factually accurate.” The note then says “Talk about scaring seniors – this may be a little over the top. But it is sooooo fun to bash Republicans.”

There you have it. What more do you need? The Democratic game plan is laid out here .. laid out clearly for all to see. The goal is not to engage in an honest discussion of the merits of Bush’s plan for Social Security. The goal is to SCARE SENIORS!

And thus it has been for decades. Every single election cycle … Democrats exploit the fears of our senior citizens. Democrats know that there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that Americans are going tolerate any threat at all to the Social Security benefits of our mother, fathers and grandparents.

Somewhere in this country there are some senior citizens who are going to hear about this little e-mail memo, and the realization is going to hit them. They’re going to finally realize that they’ve been used. Duped! They will know that Democrats have been exploiting their sense of vulnerability for votes!

The Social Security debate isn’t about Seniors! It’s not about your mother and father. It’s about your children? Should your children have 15% of every paycheck looted by the Imperial Federal Government for use in some vote-buying income redistribution scheme? If your children were allowed to invest that 15% in their own private retirement plans they would be able to retire with a higher income then when they were working! With Social Security they might not be able to draw their first check until after they’re 70! Even then, the check will be but a fraction of what they could have earned from a private plan.

Isn’t it sad? The wonderful, compassionate, caring, “feel your pain” Demcorats have to engage in an intentional program of deception and scare-mongering just to get votes.

Now there can be no doubt.
