In reply to the discussion: PolitiFact nails Sanders campaign's claim that Biden backed Paul Ryan on SS cuts as FALSE [View all]Demsrule86
(71,542 posts)48. He is combining two different things...decades apart....Biden did not advocate a freeze
at the time Sirota claimed...but decades earlier during the Reagan years and he never voted that way just said it He and Ted Kennedy don't have 100% from the RTA but 89% because they voted to increase the age you collect SS...was supposed to take us to 2047. But of course the GOP will always lie...During the Reagan years, Democrats had to play along or lose...hell GOP had the presidency for 12 years...and Clinton (with help from Perot) ended it...Clinton never had a majority either...not in 92 or 96. And without Clinton,the pugs would have had it for 16 years maybe more. Biden can be trusted with SS...the candidate I would worry about is Bloomberg. He could make deals with the GOP.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

This is no surprise to me based on people he hired such as David Sirota. Nothing is beneath them,

Dems attacking other Dems, especially about social security cuts, really angers me.
