I would like you to ask Mitch McConnell and any Republican you can these questions, will you now or at any time try to privatize or in any way weaken Social Security ? and Will you take steps to strengthen Social Security in it's present form ? And please accept only a yes or no answer. The answer to these questions will go a long way in helping people decide how they vote. What the heck ask the Democratic side the same questions.

1. Also ask about healthcare.

[braddy]

2. Words like "weaken", "strengthen" don't work, the meaning varies between pro SS people.

[James48]

3. Exactly!

Moscow Mitch thinks that eliminating Social Security payments for anybody under age 70 is Strengthening Social Security.

Ask what he plan exactly to do about Social Security- not whether he plans to strengthen or weaken it.

[Stonepounder]

4. And do you really think that you will get honest answers from GOPers? n/t

[braddy]

7. The point is that Yes! Everyone's judgement will be that their version "strengthens" SS while the

other side's changes (or non-changes) "weaken" it. Those words just do not work.

5. Save your breath, vote for the only guy who is completely consistent.

Or Warren, she won't buckle under pressure.

[Hekate]

6. They'll just lie. It's what they do.

[duforsure]

8. They'll lie to your face, again,

Like they claimed they wouldn't remove pre-existing conditions while they were removing them from the plan, and going to court to do it. Like trump said he wouldn't touch Medicare , Medicaid and Social Security then put huge reductions , millions , on all three programs in their tax scam bill, and planning to destroy all three programs. They can't be trusted with our health care, national security, rule of law,, and corruption is running wild from trump and republicans.
