The quote doctor is: IN
Now this is more like it. Here's what it looks like when the GOP employ their usual strategy of lies and spin....
Here's a sample from an RNC website:
More Americans Support Call To Strengthen Social Security
Clif Smith, A Retiree From Joplin: “I Believe [Social Security] Needs Improved [Sic].” (Jeff Wells, “SS: Privatize Or Leave Alone?” Joplin Globe, 3/24/05)
“[Kimberly] Holloway Sees Advantages In Personal Accounts In That It Would Encourage More Savings And Financial Responsibility …” (Tom Morton, “What’s A Mother To Do?” Capser [WY] Star Tribune, 3/24/05)
Scott Savelkol, Recent Graduate From Dickinson State University: “Doing Nothing Is Not An Option.” (Dave Kolpack, “Social Security Overhaul Discussed At Hearing In Fargo,” The Associated Press, 3/23/05)
Wow. Sounds like privatization is really popular with everyday Americans. Unless you bother to look at the original articles cited. Come to think of it, why did they cite these articles?
Check out the link above to a Think Progress story, and prepare to be amazed at what these three people actually said about privatization. Here's a hint: they all oppose Bush's plan.
BONUS: Just for fun, let's have a little lesson on doctoring quotes. You see, if someone wanted to, they might be able to make a headline like this:
Sandwich calls Bush great world leader
Naturally, it would only mean that I had made a statement like this: "If you define a great world leader as an incoherent and incompetent alcoholic who steers his country toward fiscal ruin, makes enemies of traditional allies, supports corrupt dictatorships, impoverishes hundreds of thousands, doesn't create any new jobs, starts arbitrary wars and regularly lies to his fellow citizens, then I guess Bush is a great world leader."
See how easy and fun it can be? Now try making your own at home!
