They come not to praise Social Security

...but to bury it.

When Republicans chant "Social Security has got to go!" (link via just about everyone), I think it's pretty safe to say they're not all that interested in saving it.

I believe a while ago I was involved in a dispute in the comments as to whether or not president Bush wanted to kill Social Security. Well, his proposal for private accounts - according to him - does exactly dick to "save" Social Security and the members of his party are gleefully (and stupidly, I might add - more power to 'em!) chanting that it's "got to go."

So, um, yeah, I don't believe I was engaged in demagoguery.
