Dems: GOP Again Targets Social Security

By JENNIFER TALHELM

WASHINGTON Sep 23, 2006 (AP)— Republicans will revive their effort to overhaul
Social Security after the November elections, a "dangerous" plan that would cut
benefits to senior citizens, the Democratic candidate for a Denver-area House
seat said Saturday.

"We can and must stop them right now, before it's too late," Ed Perlmutter said
in the Democrats' weekly radio address. "Just last year, Democrats stood up to
President Bush and the Republicans in Congress, and fought back against this
dangerous proposal and defeated it."

Perlmutter, a former Colorado state senator, faces Republican Rick O'Donnell
in a fierce contest for a House seat being vacated by Rep. Bob Beauprez,
a Republican running for governor.

2. This is a talking point the Dems should scream from the rooftops.

Put the Repugnants on the defensive about it; they can't even address it without tying themselves into knots.

3. If Democrats don't regain control of either the House or Senate...

Social Security as we know it is dead.
