( OT ) Republican lies (are people THAT dumb?)
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%). more BS snipped 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. NOW google "ABC News/Washington Post poll +social security" and find http://www.pollingreport.com/social.htm From the survey "Do you approve or disapprove of the job President Bush is doing in each of these areas?
