Watch Out for Democrat Election Year Scare Campaign in Your Area

The Democrat election year scare campaign has officially begun. Democrats are using gimmicks in states across the country to make inaccurate statements about the Republican's prescription drug plan and work to save Social Security.

Democrats are arranging press conferences and bus trips to Canada with senior citizens and using empty pill bottles as props for their attacks. It is ironic that they have chosen empty pill bottles when they have only offered empty promises and baseless attacks on this important issue.

In fact, the Washington Times recently exposed the Democrat attacks. In an email conversation among Capitol Hill Democrats, a staff member admitted that their claims against Republicans on Social Security were not "entirely factually accurate." As the discussion continued, it was admitted that their strategy is to scare seniors and to simply "bash Republicans."

The Democrat's baseless scare campaign will be coming to your community - if it hasn't already. As a leader in your community we need you to watch for these false, partisan attacks and let us know by filling out this form at GOP.com. Don't be fooled by the partisan attacks its just part of the Democrat's election year plan to scare seniors rather than offer real solutions.

Bush and Republicans Offer Solutions, Democrats Launch Scare Campaign

President Bush and Republicans in Congress have had the courage to offer solutions to the need for better prescription drug coverage, a modernized Medicare system and for leadership to save Social Security. The House has passed Medicare reform, providing $350 billion over the next 10 years for prescription drug coverage and a fiscally responsible budget. In contrast, Senate Democrats have proposed using $1.5 trillion of the Social Security surplus and no plan for prescription drugs.

The Democrat agenda for Social Security and prescription drug coverage is to use gimmicks like empty pill bottles and rhetoric that isn't "entirely factually accurate." Democrats in the Senate for the first time since 1975 have not passed a budget-blueprint to spell out exactly how they will fund any of their priorities. This abdication of their responsibility leaves them free to criticize while offering no real solutions.

Call on Senator Daschle and Senate Democrats to move beyond the partisanship and work with President Bush and Republicans in Congress to modernize Medicare with a prescription drug benefit and stop playing politics with Social Security.

Please notify RNC if you see a Scare Campaign going on in your neighborhood!

[PhiKapMom]

Maybe we should be notifying them about the Bush bashing going on here on FR not to mention bashing other Republicans as well that actually got the Bush is Keeping his Base thread pulled! What are they scared of?

Deport and I found that 17% of "Conservatives" voted for Gore in 2000 -- how many of those have now infiltrated FR?

Why did that thread get pulled?

[PhiKapMom]

It said in my comments area because of personal attacks -- I wasn't on it when it got pulled so I am not sure what happened! Hope someone will tell us on here! Pretty convenient to have a thread pulled when some people get out of line -- why not just pull their comments and warn them? Makes you wonder what the Agenda is -- bash a pro-Bush thread and then it gets pulled? Coincidence? Especially after getting this email late last night!

[PhiKapMom]

You are so right about the DemocRAT voting fraud -- never knew so many dead people and dogs could vote until the 2000 election!

TLBSHOW just reposted the article

[deport]

They can't win on the Terrorism as all their attempts to hang that on President Bush has backfired or failed in some way. So their only chance is back to the domestic issues which has been their bread and butter issues anyway..... Below are a couple of polls showing some ranking of the issues in recent months.....

So terrrorism (which we are winning on) and the economy (which is improving) are the two most important issues? Hmmmm.

Terry only has a little while to turn this around.

Unless, of course, CBS is fudging the figures to try and fool Republicans. I don't think Racicot would be that gullible, however. The RNC has its own people polling.

[PhiKapMom]

I saw that -- I reposted too along with someone else so they pulled two of them. Looks like we are going to get this up one way or the other!

[deport]

They will try a lot of trial issues and see what gets traction and where. I suspect different things will be effective in different regions or with different demographics. Example, older people/retirees vs. inner city issues...... Some polls are showing the democrats are returning to the fold on issues outside of the WOT.

[PhiKapMom]

Now TLBSHOW's thread is locked and pulled! Someone doesn't want the Bush article posted on here!

[deport]

Just locked while they clean it up and then will reopen it....

To: All


This thread locked for maintenance. It will unlock as soon as we're through cleaning up the current mess. We're not going to pull this thread again, but I will not hesitate to suspend those who have been warned at least twice today to knock off the personal attacks. Starting now.

Where is the pro-Bush article? Looks like TLBSHOW and mine were both pulled! What gives?

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks! This is getting to be irritating!

[deport]

Calm down, take it easy... LOL.... They have a forum to run and lot of distractions......

"Some polls are showing the democrats are returning to the fold on issues outside of the WOT."

Well, sure they will, if that's all the press harps on. I find it very curious the number of people on FR lately who will readily defend the press......Example A) THE PECULIAR DUPLICITY OF ARI FLEISCHER

[deport]

Well it's assumed the press has a bias to the left thus they will report things supportive of the left. Example is Senator Nickles calling Senator Clinton on the carpet for her statements regarding President Bush and what he knew about 911. It was only reported by The Oklahoman and NewsMax or so NewsMax claims. Thus the press manages to sway the peoples opinions of things...

Watch out for Demo voting fraud too.
