This old man just cannot remember one of his comments from another.
John McCain has stated that he has never been for the privatization of Social Security, but that isn't exactly true. Are we surprised?
Original from DailyKos
John McCain, last week:
But I'm not for, quote, "privatizing" Social Security. I never have been, I never will be.
And back in the day when, side by side with George Bush, John McCain fought to privatize Social Security.
2004: "Without privatization, I don't see how you can possibly, over time, make sure that young Americans are able to receive Social Security benefits. [C-Span Road to the White House, 11/18/2004]
2005: "McCain has been especially supportive of his onetime rival, appearing with Bush at three events over the past two days in trying to prod Democrats into negotiations to include private accounts in a plan to revamp Social Security." [Washington Post, 3/23/05]
2008: "As part of Social Security reform, I believe that private savings accounts are a part of it - along the lines of what President Bush proposed. I campaigned in support of President Bush's proposal and I campaigned with him, and I did town hall meetings with him." [Wall Street Journal, 3/3/08]
In the words of Barack Obama, "privatizing Social Security was a bad idea when George W. Bush proposed it. It's a bad idea today." As for John McCain lying about his previous position? It's yet another YouTube moment for Senator Straight Talk.TM
Just another Republican jackass who has sold his soul for a trip to the White House. If the GOP is supposed to be God's party, then God has some major issues going on.
