FL-18: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen thinks people don’t like Social Security

(From the diaries. Bush was in Florida raising money to help defeat Annette Taddeo, among other great South Florida Democrats. Let's do our part to help her fight back -- kos)

On Wednesday, O2B Better Democrat Annette Taddeo and Bush Rubberstamp Ileana Ros-Lehtinen met in a forum at Miami’s Chamber of Commerce. Ros-Lehtinen refuses to debate Annette head to head, and insisted on getting the questions in advance. But it was still quite a show.

Ros-Lehtinen really is out of touch. Despite the collapse of the stock market, Ros-Lehtinen still wants to privatize Social Security. Check out this clip of Annette passionately protecting a secure retirement for our seniors, and Ileana being genuinely surprised that people actually like Social Security.

The "Miami Herald said: "Ros-Lehtinen stood behind her support of privatizing parts of Social Security – which Taddeo opposes – arguing that people should invest parts of their accounts to get higher returns."

Ros-Lehtinen really is out of touch.

The same articlesays that Annette "pounced on Ros-Lehtinen's votes against expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or S-CHIP."

It’s amazing to work for a woman you believe in.  Annette will be a passionate, progressive voice in South Florida for years to come.

Please help our campaign to bring that voice to South Florida's leadership – contribute to Annette through the the 02B ActBlue page and help us to keep ads like this one getting to every voter in Florida’s 18th:
