Unearthed video shows Sen. Mike Lee saying getting rid of Social Security is why he ran in 2010

[kpete]

“It will be my objective to phase out Social Security, to pull it up by the roots and get rid of it,” Lee said in the video. "People who advise me politically always tell me that's dangerous, and I tell them, in that case, it's not worth my running. That's why I'm doing this, to get rid of that. Medicare and Medicaid are of the same sort and need to be pulled up.”

2. Does Hannity have some sort of memory issue?

Getting rid of Social Security and Medicare has been a plank in the GOP platform for four decades. W. Bush tried to privatize it in the 2000's. It is literally all they think and talk about.

7. No memory issue. He knows very well that (R)'s have been spouting this message out ...

for some time now.
And with Rick Scott's plan, it's getting too hard to deny, and since the (R) leadership has told Scott and all others screaming this, to stop advertising this plan, they now need Faux News to spout the opposite.
Faux News knows where their marching orders come from.

8. No. He's just a liar.

10. Four decades?

We're less than 3 years from NINE decades of them trying to destroy it.

3. I'm sure even in Utah people love social security

Put this in ads.

9. They all love SS. They just don't want "those others" to get it. nt

4. There should be 1 commercial with every Republican on tape

Thread together saying this.

Then maybe the seniors and those dependent on it, will wake up out of their stupid party line voting and vote on the issues that matter in their own homes!

5. That would make a great TV AD !

Hope the Lincoln Project or someone is listening. It's on Kevin McCarthy's platform to kill them,
and of course FQX has to lie about it so it doesn't cost them at the ballot box.
Could sure use this TV AD in the final days of the midterms.

6. This!

11. I don't know how to do it, but that's a great idea!
