Bush to Blacks: Y'all folks die earlier, let me steal yo' money

[scottxyz]

Bush: But I think it's constructive that Chairman Thomas {who has proposed linking Social Security benefits to race}, who will be charged with having a bill come out of the Ways and Means, is thinking creatively, is willing to figure out ways to bring people along.

First of all, Bush's pitch is as racist as the day is long. You die earlier so support me? So why do blacks die earlier? Maybe if we spent a trillion on universal health insurance that wouldn't be the case.

2. You know the one argument I'm shocked, SHOCKED someone

dryly hasn't come up with? This: How can Republicans make both arguments: that blacks don't work hard enough to contribute into social security AND that they don't get their fair share because they die too early?

So which is it? Are they not putting in enough? OR are they not getting their fair share?

I'm so confuuuuuuuused!

3. The administrations attempts to relate to african americans

have proved fairly amusing so far. Which is good, because thier propaganda has been very successful in other communities.

of blacks that voted for Kerry,payup.
