Do you believe that a small portion of SS should be privatized?

I did say that the platform that kerry was running on was more conservative than the platform that bush was running on. I suppose that, if there are only 2 options, liberal and conservative, it could be construed that I said Kerry was more liberal than Bush, or at least his platform was.

If you consider their entire histories, Kerry certainly comes out more liberal than bush. I would say that kerry is slightly to the left of ted kennedy. They overlap, but he is slightly to the left of old teddy. Bush, on the other hand, is probably only AS liberal as ted kennedy, or maybe just a smidge to the right of him.

But we still have the problem: we haven't defined what Liberal is. VOR is still using a term he does not understand. That invalidates most, if not all of his argument.



But there aren't only two options, as we both realize.



DepenRAB. Fisically I'd say Kerry is more conservative from the ground up. Bush has run every business into the ground and was bailed out by a 3rd party who took major economic hits. Not to mention Texas wasn't the greatest fisically run state. And we all can see what he's done in the whitehouse. Kerry never had such problems, and remember both are filthy rich New Englanders.
Socially, perhaps Bush is more conservative.



LOL. You crack me up. We're screwed aren't we?

WHAT!?!?!?!?! YOU ARE WRONG YOU LIBERAL!

i voted yes.
a portion should be privatize as this can provide better growth and you get to direct how the money is spend and what industry to support/invest in.
at least half though should remain government funded as a security blanket.

Wha? Who? Ah... I've never known a Democrat to deny that he is liberal. I've never known a Democrat who thinks being liberal is a bad thing. And I've worked on several Democratic political campaigns, as well as gay rights campaigns. And I am personally a Democrat who claims to be liberal.

I hadn't intended to post on this until I saw your question. The answer is NO, I think it is insane.

That is true....even if you put your money in a CD which is insured by FSLIC you can make 3 or 4 percent which is better then the 1 percent you get now.....

[melissa]

that was not a choice but 61 million people disagreed with you last November so live with it or move somewhere else........

Do you know who John Kerry is? He denied all through the presidential campaign that he was a liberal........
