Senate Dems Hit Back Even Harder
Last night we passed on the story that the Senate Democrats would be taking their case for protecting Social Security to the American people. Today, we find out that the Dems won't just be pushing their side of the story, they'll be hammering the Republicans who support privatization. Taegan Goddard has this story from the subscription only Roll Call:
"Senate Democratic leaders will target two Republican leaders seeking re-election in 2006 by visiting their states in a two-day blitz next week that’s designed to drum up opposition to President Bush’s effort to overhaul Social Security," Roll Call reports.With the Democrats sitting high in Arizona and polls showing Santorum in danger of losing his seat, this looks to be an extremely shrewd move by the Dems. Nice work.
"Specifically, Democrats will single out Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R) and Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl (R) for seconding Bush’s contention that the system is in “crisis” — a notion Democrats roundly dispute."
"Democrats say they plan to mount vigorous challenges to both GOP Senators in 2006, in a bid to wrest control of the Senate from Republican hands."
