All attempts to transform the slush fund by Republicans in recent past

Just listen to yourself....Republicans "transforming" Social
security...

Do you think it's Republicans who protect the interest of the average
guy? or is it Republicans who want to "transform" Social Security to
use the money the way they see fit? ie: using our Social Security
money to pay off Bushs' spending spree...

It is ALWAYS the Democrats who stand to represent the average guy,
while the Republicans ALWAYS back whats good for corporations and big
business tax breaks, just like the current bufoon in the white house
does currently. Face reality. If you really think it's republicans
that protect the interest of the little guy, you've probably been
dropped on your head at one or more points in your life.

The "average guy" eh?

Kind of like the NON-citizens who come here and collect food stamps,
welfare checks, social-security checks, etc.. etc.. do?

And then the bitching comes about proposed cuts in a system that
is being strained to the gills trying to address the problem of every recent
immigrant seeking to import their aged grandparents, great aunts, etc. - all
of whom become eligible for social security and medicare. All these monies
are, of course, drawn out of a system where they have never contributed a
single dime.

Are these the "average" folks that you are talking about? And just WHAT
PARTY subverted the laws and rules to allow this draining of social security
and other programs?

And exactly how does this "represent' the other forgotten folks (the "average"
folks who are AMERICAN CITIZENS)?

And do your really think the the elites who line-up and proclaim to represent
the "average guy" (John Edwards etc...) have any real connection to Joe
working class? Come on....get real....

Speaking of dropped on one's head....


(Trivia Quiz: What Democrat President signed NAFTA into law? NAFTA, now that
is one helluva deal that really protects the "interests of the little guy"
both here and abroad!)

They get SS money but under the guise of SSI. For those who never paid into
the system. Was originally for Farmers, etc. Now immigrants get SSI. And
can be greater payment than someone who has paid into the SS sytem.

Duh,
no...., average guy, like average american working, middle class.
I know you republicans like to think that your fellow americans (
everyone but you and your bubba buddy at the bar stool next to you,)
are all a bunch of leaches, no-good welfare bums, etc...etc....

Why in hell would you take it that someone speaking of an average
american meant non-citizens who collect food stamps and welfare
checks, etc.....
Your view of what the average american is must be pretty bleak, but
thats typical of the Republican viewpoint. Republicans think the world
is out to screw them, like an angry spoiled child syndrome.

Again it's the average guy that is protected by Democrats. People like
bus drivers, factory workers, office workers.

Republicans look to protect people like Donald Trump and Dick Cheney.
Fact.

You missed the point entirely, go back and read it again.

I normally don't get into typo, spelling and grammar correction but
could you please capitalize the A in American? :^)

Total bull****. Do you seriously eat that bull**** rhetoric up? What
connection does Teddy Kennedy have with an AVERAGE guy?

What does an Edwards relate to the little guy?

How does Barney Frank relate to the average joe?

How does Joe Liberman's lifestyle compare to a factory worker?

My point in the earlier post was that the Democrats have screwed
the "average guy" just as much as anybody else has if not more.

NAFTA was signed into law by a Democrat President.

How is NAFTA helping the "average" guy?

How is saddling this country with debt to pay for benefits to
illegal aliens and to require healthcare and schooling for them
when we can't even afford to pay for the same for the folk's that
live here? How is this helping the little average guy huh? Explain this to
me?

yeah right.

Go ahead and live with your blinders on if it makes you feel better but
remember when you take them off that the real wold awaits you.
