Rangel: Bush 'Impeachable' for Social Security 'Fraud'

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." -Joseph Goebbels

I've figured out the new DNC strategy: Assert that everything your opponent does is illegal! Most democratic constituents won't bother to figure out how it's illegal. They'll just take it at face value and start repeating it. Hell, according to dems, it's illegal for Republicans to win elections! Last year, the day after Bush won re-election, I went to visit some of my hippie friends. I brought up the election and one of them said, "Yeah, I knew Bush would figure out how to steal it somehow." My reply: "You're right. We stole the election. It was a massive, right-wing conspiracy where millions of voters went to polling places and voted for him!" Apparently, Charles Rangel believes in the same strategy. Am I to believe that he is that ignorant about American governance that he thinks it's an impeachable offense to disagree with the Democratic Party on the issue of social security reform? Whenever the time comes to fix real problems like social security, Democrats revert to the same old tactic of scaring people into thinking the Republicans want to steal their social security. Sooner or later, the Democrats are going to have to stop stone-walling the issue, and come up with a counter-proposal. But they insist that there is no crisis. They were singing a different tune back in 98, when Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Dick Gephardt, and Barbara Boxer were all saying, "Save Social Security First." The sad thing is, their voting constituents have such a short attention span, it doesn't even matter.
