Well, whats more important to you, SS privatization or the judges.

Because the only reason, the only reason that Richard Shelby was able to defeat Jeremiah Denton back in 86 is because Denton had voted for the Reagan SS plan, and that formed pretty much the entire basis of the Shelby campaign that year.

And I'd bet my last dollar that if Rick Santorum is defeated, SS will have been the reason.

That was '86; this is a new century. We need new ideas. Social Security the old way is a loser; cannot be maintained.

Sorry, I didn't realize with a majority I'd have to choose. So what's important to you?

It's not 1986.

Speaking of which, do you know who said this:

There are cynics who say that a party platform is something that no one bothers to read and it doesn't very often amount to much.

Whether it is different this time than it has ever been before, I believe the Republican Party has a platform that is a banner of bold, unmistakable colors, with no pastel shades.
