More Democratic nonsense on Social Security — here’s Terry McAuliffe in an email to supporters today:

We will fight President Bush and his Republican cronies as they try to:

…Undermine Social Security for today’s seniors and future generations of retirees by privatizing the system.

Of course, no one, including President Bush or leading Republicans, is talking about reducing benefits for today’s seniors. They are politically sacrosanct and will get their checks regardless of what happens with private accounts. But McAuliffe wants to scare you — and them — into believing otherwise.
