From a RNC memo

From: "Ken Mehlman, RNC Chairman"

Bunch of BS snipped

First, more people have come to understand the structural problems
facing Social Security's solvency over the last two months, and thus,
the issue has become more important to them. The latest Gallup poll
shows that Americans think Social Security is now the most important
domestic issue. At 12%, Social Security has increased by 8% since
January and is a greater concern than the economy (10%), health care
(9%), or terrorism (9%).

Second, more Americans agree that Social Security needs strengthening.
According to the recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, 72% of Americans
think the Social Security system is headed down the road to a crisis or
will require major changes in order to head of a crisis. Even seniors
believe that changes are necessary to Social Security: a recent Ayres
McHenry poll found 66% of Americans over age 55 believe that Social
Security needs changes. A recent Gallup poll even found a majority of
Americans (51%) believe that it is necessary for Congress to pass
legislation to make changes to Social Security this year.

Those are pretty strong words directed towards Harry, But for all I know
they may be accurate. I have sent him nice notes on several occasions
inquiring at to the source of his "News" reporting, His vocational
background, etc. Is this just a place where he "plays" new reporter and an
out let for his emotions? I have never observed anyone like him. Does
anyone know his background, is source of information, etc? No two ways
about it... He is just not "right" !

you. I mean what the hell is wrong with a krause??? I mean your own PAPA

had
multiple partners (meaning no one would stay with him) and you krause are

third wife, (20 years your junior) (meaning the first two ran from you),,,
krause,,, lol,,

Do you krauses smell like **** or something??? I mean why does everyone

run

you
is like having one with Terri Schiavo sometimes but krause,,, the only

thing
you can keep near you is your lying stupidity. O ya,, and all the little
critters you feed daily,,, your shot gun you keep in your front hall
closet,, the one upstairs,, the hand guns,, OOps,, o ya,, you claimed a

day
later that you don't have hand guns,, whats the matter stupid,, is there a
law against owning a hand gun?

What about all the land you own there krause,, I remember you saying that
you open your gates daily to visitors who you allow to hike over your

land,,
have picnics and take photos. Remember that krause??? That was along the
time when you invited me to your home.

Usually the memory is the say 2nd or 3rd thing to go on an old senile old
fool like you krause but with you it is about the 15th thing to go from

you.
First were the wives, then the children, then the dignity, then integrity
(as if you even had that),,,, krause it must be sad to be you.

Be sure to tell us when the little darling (20 years your junior) decides

to
leave you krause,, packs her back pack and be on her way. Or has it

happened
already??? You know it will happen,, history sometimes dictates the

Or perhaps added? -- or maybe we are on different lists? (I'll give you
the benefit of the doubt on this one)

The FULL memo I got is below


"Ken Mehlman, RNC Chairman" Add to Address
BookAdd to Address Book
To:
Subject: RNC Memo: Polling Trends In Social Security
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 22:33:25 -0500 (EST)
Strategy memo MEMORANDUM TO REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS

FROM: Chairman Ken Mehlman
Latest Trends in the Social Security Debate
DATE: March 22, 2005

As the President and Congress have debated Social Security reform over
the past couple of months, certain trends have emerged. Americans have
learned more about the problems facing the current system, and thus,

are
more likely to recognize the need for changes in the future, including
Personal Retirement Accounts. The following points are clear:

First, more people have come to understand the structural problems

facing
Social Security's solvency over the last two months, and thus, the

issue
has become more important to them. The latest Gallup poll shows that
Americans think Social Security is now the most important domestic

issue.
At 12%, Social Security has increased by 8% since January and is a
greater concern than the economy (10%), health care (9%), or terrorism
(9%).

The increased importance of Social Security is confirmed by several

other
polls. This week's Battleground 2006 poll found Social Security (17%)

as
the "number one problem for the President and Congress to deal with."
Also a recent Harris poll found 37% of Americans think Social Security

is
the most important issue for the government to address, an increase of
33% from last October when just 4% thought it was the most important
issue.

Second, more Americans agree that Social Security needs strengthening.
According to the recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, 72% of Americans
think the Social Security system is headed down the road to a crisis or
will require major changes in order to head of a crisis. Even seniors
believe that changes are necessary to Social Security: a recent Ayres
McHenry poll found 66% of Americans over age 55 believe that Social
Security needs changes. A recent Gallup poll even found a majority of
Americans (51%) believe that it is necessary for Congress to pass
legislation to make changes to Social Security this year.

In the past few years, according to polls conducted by the Tarrance
Group, more and more Americans think the Social Security system needs
major changes:

Poll Date Major Changes Modest Changes Minor Adjustment
No Change

Third, as Americans hear more and more about possible reforms, support
for Personal Retirement Accounts has increased. A recent Gallup survey
found that 58% of Americans believe that Social Security Legislation
should "include a provision that would allow people who retire in

future
decades to invest some of their Social Security taxes in the stock

market
and bonds."

Support for Personal Retirement Accounts has increased. According to a
recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, fifty-six percent (56%) of
Americans support allowing workers to invest some of their Social
Security contributions in the stock market, while 41% oppose such an
idea. The number of Americans who support PRAs has increased by a net

of
6% since last December, when 53% supported the plan and 44% opposed it.
This is the highest level of support for PRAs since the Post first

asked
the question in 2000.

Those eligible for Personal Retirement Accounts see benefits from them.
According to a recent Pew poll, among those eligible for Personal
Retirement Accounts, 56% believe investment would bring higher

benefits;
just 12% predict lower benefits and 55% would invest if given choice.
Once PRAs are explained, a majority of Americans support them.

According
to the Democracy Corps poll, 40% of Americans support PRAs before they
are explained, while 51% oppose them. However, after a plan for

voluntary
personal retirement accounts is explained, support rises to 54%, while
45% remain opposed.

Finally, as Americans follow the Social Security Debate, they trust
President Bush more than Democrats to find a solution. According to
recent polls by the Winston Group and NPR, President leads Democrats on
who offers better ideas and who is working on a bipartisan basis.

Bush Advantage Winston Group NPR
Who is willing to work with both political parties to find a solution?
+16 +18
Is offering the right kind of ideas? +8 +6
Who do you trust to make the right kinds of changes? +7 +8
Americans are realizing that Democrats are opposing Social Security
modernization because they lack their own plans: The Democracy Corps

poll
also showed that 50% of Americans believe that Democrats are opposing
President Bush's plans to strengthen Social Security just to block his
agenda, while only 42% believe that they are opposing President Bush's
plan because they have a better way to strengthen Social Security.

The question is, why are you trying to justify yourself to a BushBORG

like
Herring? He spent his entire career being programmed by the Army, and

now
all he can spit out is RepubliFOG

Those are pretty strong words directed towards Harry, But for all I know
they may be accurate. I have sent him nice notes on several occasions
inquiring at to the source of his "News" reporting, His vocational
background, etc. Is this just a place where he "plays" new reporter and an
out let for his emotions? I have never observed anyone like him. Does
anyone know his background, is source of information, etc? No two ways
about it... He is just not "right" !

In my experience, Harry is best ignored. Do not give him your email address.
