Odd that you're so sensitive about an honest examination of this candidate's positions. As a Sanders supporter I have seen you in every Bernie Sanders thread,mostly as the OP, critiquing every aspect of Bernie's personal and political life. Any story, whether it be real or imagined was fair game. That's your right. Now all of a sudden it is only prudent to research,fact check and call the candidate's campaign before posting anything from a credible,respected Democratic source like Sam Seder.

I'll do as you asked and contact Beto's campaign.I sure wish you would have known your candidate's position on something as important as means-testing Social Security and raising the retirement age rather than just wanting to argue with me. It would have saved me a lot of time. But I'll do it out of respect for Beto and DU.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Sam Seder: 2012 Beto Has Some HORRIBLE Ideas For Social Security [View all] Power 2 the People Mar 2019 OP

Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #1

We know what Beto said in 2012 about Social Security crazytown Mar 2019 #2

Respectfully,I had never heard it prior to seeing this video. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #3

OK. Well It's worth knowing. crazytown Mar 2019 #5

I agree 100%. It's ridiculous that he won't release them. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #8

I have no doubt he will release them. crazytown Mar 2019 #10

Agree.It's such a stupid thing to leave hanging out there for no reason. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #11

Has he changed his stance? Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2019 #6

It's ... fuzzy :) crazytown Mar 2019 #7

Hardly... not even close!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #40

Now would I exaggerate? crazytown Mar 2019 #56

Somehow I don't think his kids will be relying on Social Security. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2019 #4

Good point Hassin. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #9

More effective to make the case for your candidate than to criticize someone you may need to vote fo Hassler Mar 2019 #12

I agree.That's why I don't criticize any of our candidates.Examining their positions on the issues Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #14

What happened to vetting... or does that only apply to Bernie?! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #41

Why are all these anti-Beto OPs showing up recently? Any connection to getting $6.1M in 24 hours? George II Mar 2019 #13

Nobody is anti-Beto George II. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #15

Really, under the title "2012 Beto Has Some HORRIBLE Ideas For Social Security"? George II Mar 2019 #18

"He has articulated his current position on SS several times" melman Mar 2019 #26

Why do you ask? George II Mar 2019 #27

I'd be curious to know how, when and why he changed his mind. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2019 #31

I'm sure Beto has "evolved" on this issue also, seeing how it's starting to get vetted. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #44

That's a good one! MyNameGoesHere Mar 2019 #57

Suddenly opposed to vetting, eh? aikoaiko Mar 2019 #37

No, not at all. But presenting information that isn't current OR 100% accurate is not "vetting". George II Mar 2019 #38

Sam Seder is a Bernie Sanders supporter Buzz Lightyear Mar 2019 #16

Has nothing to do with Beto's position on Social Security. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #17

Instead of asking people here what his position is..... George II Mar 2019 #20

I am asking around. I guess you'd be the person to ask since Beto is your chosen candidate Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #21

He has a 100% score from the Alliance for Retired Americans. George II Mar 2019 #22

bingo! sheshe2 Mar 2019 #23

OK. So you don't know the answer either. I'll reach out to Beto's campaign tomorrow and fill you in. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #24

On the ARA site they get into how they establish their ratings. Position on SS is a big part of it. George II Mar 2019 #25

I know that.That's why I support Bernie Sanders.He is rated 100% lifetime from the ARA. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #28

I would have looked into his current position before I posted an old video of O'Rourke.... George II Mar 2019 #29

That's the title of the video George. I posted it to see if anyone knew if it was still his position Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #33

I know his position. On the other hand, I surely wouldn't post an old video critical... George II Mar 2019 #36

Sam Seder posted the video yesterday and clearly said Beto's speech was from 2012. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #42

I'm going to hold you to that standard next time a Bernie hit piece is posted. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #43

Ah, so that's it! In that case, since you posted O'Rourke's position on an "issue" from when.... George II Mar 2019 #45

No no no no Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #47

I hope so too. You certainly don't have to worry about me, I've always done so in the past. George II Mar 2019 #49

LOL.OK. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #50

That 100% rating is not current melman Mar 2019 #30

Oh melman..................... George II Mar 2019 #32

That's from 2017. 2018's ratings should be out soon. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #34

The 2017 ratings were released in May 2018. Probably a couple of months. George II Mar 2019 #35

But Sam Seder says... lapucelle Mar 2019 #52

The ARA endorsed Beto in the senate race. N/T lapucelle Mar 2019 #46

Over Ted Cruz????????????? What a shocker!! Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #48

Sam Seder (among others) is concerned notwithstanding a 100% rating, an endorsement, and the record. lapucelle Mar 2019 #51

I should hope he co-sponsored it since every Democratic member of the House co-sponsored it. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #53

Bravo indeed, Beto. Poor Sam Seder... lapucelle Mar 2019 #54

Beto put Texas into play and could have won in a presidential year Gothmog Mar 2019 #19

More than 400K who voted for Gov Greg Abbott TexasBushwhacker Mar 2019 #55

And did you see the HR bill that he wrote to introduce to raise the age!!?? Amimnoch Mar 2019 #58

I actually think raising the retirement age is not a bad idea... SKKY Mar 2019 #59
