They usually activate "Scaregranny" well before now and I actually had a sliver of hope that maybe they abandoned it after it went nowhere in 2002.
I'm sure over the next few weeks we are going to be treated to (completely baseless) stories how George Bush plans to cut Medicare and Social Security to fund the war in Iraq.
And if "Scaregranny" doesn't seem to get any traction, they will flip they playbook to the next chapter and accuse republicans of burning down black churches and participating in lynchings.
This is what I say to John Kerry and ALL of the politicians on the subject of Social Security.
I will gladly give up my S.S. and I know others will too, if YOU and ALL of the other politicians will give up THEIR FEDERAL TAX PAYING RETIREMENT and quit taking out S.S. from businesses and working employees. No more Medicaid, Medicare, or S.S. No more Gov. retirement benefits for any elected official. No more retirement raises to a salary of an elected official. Do NOT tax any private retirement plan of any U.S. Citizen. I will go along with CAPS on this, but that's all. UNTIL YOU and OTHERS of YOUR stripe DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, THEN I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY FOR SENIORS! Either we all give it up, cut back, or what have you, until that happens, I don't think you need to bring it up again.
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Gen-Reagan/Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

More proof that a Republican president adopting left-wing policies only alienates the Republican base and those in the middle that lean to the conservative side and doesn't increase a GOP President's percentage of the vote.
The moving to the left strategy for Republicans is always a miserable failure. Only Reagan apparently realized that.
