Obama campaign REFUSES to disclose plans on Social Security, says discussion belongs with senators

[TheKentuckian]

44. There have been major differences between the parties on Social Security

since before it was enacted so what is the consensus that both major parties have arrived at, apparently in a top down fashion?


A month before an election the people deserve to know and further have an absolute duty to know, this is structural and will impact almost all of us.

An elections seems the exact time to fully understand positions and use public pressure to shape policy.

That Axlrod quote is absolutely shit can worthy, that is not the sentiment of a public servant. I don't want anyone who holds such a sentiment anywhere near my government and sure as hell as a part of one getting my vote.

How is that kind of statement even remotely acceptable in a land of free people with self determination?

The point would seem to me to be to drive policy into daylight and of course in the light of day it is not politically plausible for a Democrat to run on any shenanigans and they are pigeonholed into acting appropriately as not to kill their election. Then based on positions espoused and oaths sworn a political environment is created that doesn't give wiggle room for bullshit which in turn impacts the voting pattern of legislators who know they have to run again and face a shitstorm if they do the wrong things.

It also makes the TeaPubliKlans accountable for their shitty positions which means they have to either also fall in line or try to run against the wind. This should be an easy issue to beat the fuckers upside the head with except if you don't want to.
