As to the R...Thanks to JB for the above comment. <br /><br />As to the Republican memo giving talking points and tactics to defeat the public option, I relied on Think Progress citing a Huffington Post article calling it a "private memo."<br /><br />Second. I never said that Social Security was exclusively for retirement. Check the above post.<br /><br />Third. I concede Medicare was passed and signed into law in 1965. But so what?<br /><br />Fourth. Many Republicans have historically opposed SS and they were always against Medicare. Even today they whine and rail about how it must be cut back.BOB EDERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589667737878822653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040983721224063387.post-2876255372657595592009-08-05T22:12:21.432-06:002009-08-05T22:12:21.432-06:00I'm not sure where you get your information.. ...I'm not sure where you get your information.. but a quick search on google (not really a bation of extremist republicans) shows that the memo in question is not secret, ut was passed out to the media a while ago (and copies of it are still floating around on different web articles..)<br />Also to correct your facts: Social Security is not just for retirememnt, and most of Congress, democrats and republicans were "on board" with it. Medicare was created in 1965, not 66 as part of the Social security act of 1965 passed by both democrats and republicans.John Butchkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017969069149403767noreply@blogger.com
