CNN - Bush's NC visit is a flop

first of all thanks to anyone who was there to protest his visit, now here's the good stuff.

Outside the Raleigh event, there were protesters waving mass-produced signs that read: "Hands off my Social Security." Others were handmade, including one objecting to the exclusivity of Bush's event: "Mr. Bush: Where is my invitation to the Raleigh 'Town Hall' Meeting?" it read, with a sad face drawn on.

haha! take that fucker!

Bush's SS scam isnt going to work and you can see it blowing up in his face already.

all of these visits aren't changing public opinion very much, the washington post has conducted polls showing that only 1 in 4 americans think that social security is in a crisis.

Bush has several goals at his Social Security events. He tries to convince people that the problem is urgent, while trying to reassure people over 55 that they will get their promised benefits. And he tries to get people to act by contacting their elected officials.

Those who have been targeted by Bush's visits say so far they aren't feeling the heat. Last week, Bush tried to woo the backing of several Democratic lawmakers in a tour of five states that he won last fall.

But staff for several of those senators said they haven't seen any increase in calls of support for Bush's ideas. Bryan Gulley, spokesman for Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, said they've seen the opposite -- more people have been calling in against private accounts, perhaps because of newspaper ads opposing his plan that the AARP bought to coincide with Bush's visits.

Chris Thorne, spokesman for Sen. Kent Conrad, D-North Dakota, said there hadn't been any upswing in calls to the senator's office, although there was some response to Bush's visit -- editorials in some North Dakota newspapers praised Conrad for standing firm against the president.

democrats need to start blaming this 'crisis' on the tax cuts!.

How can you take someone's tax dollars, give it to all of your rich friends and then tell the people that the system is lacking sufficient funds? and where the fuck is the 2 trillion dollars going to come from?
