just saw a new WH Soc. Sec. ad on TV for the first time. all lovey-dovey

[rodeodance]

The mantra is : It is the right thing to do!!
I did not catch who sponsored it. Next time

1. of course...

showing seniors in torn, ragged, clothing, in a soup line, does not bode well for our dumbass leader's plan for privatizing SS! The British privatized their retirement system in 1975...30 years later, their seniors are drawing on a welfare type system because they didn't have enough to invest...so by all means, lets vote for the emperors plan!!!!

2. nope, no soupy kitchens in this ad.

3. The right thing to do is to

tell everyone you know the truth! It's not in a crisis! It will not be bankrupt; they're being LIED to! The crisis is Bu*S taking too much out, not wanting to ever put it back in, blowing everything on a war based on more lies and giving the 1-2 percent of the richest in our society including the wealthiest corporations like insurance companies and the likes those TAX-BREAKERS over the last several years.

To make matters worse, Bu&S wants to make them permanent! Horrible, but it's a "just-in-case" Repuks don't maintain the majority of Congress next year or in 2008. Evil-doers! Talk about "morals!"

In other words, 99% of us aren't a part of the agenda, only the very rich in society. Sad, evil-doer's!

:mad:

4. Countdown to Iraq!

5. What puzzles me

is recent threads here noting that the networks refused to accept advertisements against this plan, on the basis of that being too controversial. They said it would only be acceptable during campaigns.

I haven't been able to locate the thread.I have looked off and on since I started seeing these on TV! (They have been playing a lot) I don't recall who was trying to buy the time. But something is REALLY wrong if ads that support bush policies are fine, but ads against them are too controversial.

I am hoping there was more too it because the imbalance should not even be legal.

Does anyone know what's going on with this?

6. who's paying for it?

[Hissyspit]

7. I heard the name of the sponsor & then forgot: Americans for Progress or

some generic crap like that. It was a misleading ad and disgusting. Someone else will post their name here eventually.

9. It is the Rethugs 527 Progress for America Fund. They spending millions

to try and sell this scam to the American people.

8. They tell the viewer to call their representatives

and I plan to do just that. I will call them and write them and explain what a scam this privatization plan is for the average citizen. We must mobilize against this asshole.
