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.
Deport and I found that 17% of "Conservatives" voted for Gore in 2000 -- how many of those have now infiltrated FR?
Watch out for Demo voting fraud too.

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.
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.

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
