Benjamin Franklin was a man of great wisdom, but he was mistaken when he opined that nothing is certain except death and taxes. Equally inevitable is the biennial Democratic attempt to frighten elderly voters by claiming the Republicans are plotting to destroy Social Security and Medicare. This year the Democrats are particularly desperate. Thus, they have been flogging this shopworn conspiracy theory even more frantically than usual as Nov. 8 draws nigh.

My wife and I discussed this several months ago. Gee, wonder when the Democrats will say Republicans will destroy social security and Medicare? The old folks fall for this Every Time. They’ve done it every election they are projected to lose since the 1980s.

Trust a demonrat to lie to get elected, then once elected, turn around and do the very same thing they accuse the republicans of. Never, ever, trust a lying demonrat!

#1 - So true, except now the seniors are those of us who have heard that same message since we were teens! We know its garbage.

Most of us know this isn't true, but there are some who don't keep up with the Dem lies and may be frightened, and worried what would they do, because all they have is Soc. Sec. The Dems are despicable to use this tired ole ploy to frighten people who don't see thru them. Shameful a**h*les.

Who said this? "You can tell it's an election year because the Democrats are claiming the Republicans will take away Social Security." It was President George Herbert Walker Bush back in 1988. When the chips are down (and they most certainly are now) the dems make this claim. What the dems forget is that the elderly have long memories.

Can any Democrat name just one Republican who has publicly called for cutting Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid? Democrats are the only ones talking about it. Truth is, Biden and Democrats have already cut Social Security by allowing inflation to run rampant so money does not go as far.

The demosluts have been trying this stunt for decades. I remember hearing this back in 1972 from demosluts. This is a sign of desperation.

I can remember when the Democrats said that GWBush was going to do away with school lunches. It's the same old tactic that they always use. Today's senior citizens don't buy it. Go peddle your lies somewhere else.

Every election Democrats use that same social security/medicare scare. They also have added that Republicans will “destroy democracy” and that they want to “take away reproductive rights” and “birth control” from women. That’s desperation and I think the electorate (except for the nutcases on The View) is wise to it.

The Rats really, really need a new playbook, this one is tattered and worn out. It's like watching an old 19'' tube type TV in the modern world.

It’s as predictable as the swallows returning to Capistrano and Pelosi having more Botox injected.

Have they brought out the old television ad of the Republicans pushing Granny off a cliff in her wheelchair yet? If not, it will probably show up next week.

Wait, they've taken a break from the pro-abortion, or should I say, 'Republicans will force women to have babies' commercials?

#15, Those abortion ads are all over the internet and are disgusting, but they are geared to younger people. Like this one regarding social security which is geared toward seniors, the abortion ad is a staple for younger people which very well may be effective. However, older people will not fall for democrat lies. We’ve heard it all before and understand it is just SOP to distract from failed democrat policies. I do believe that democrats would, if they could get away with it, cut social security because Seniors are a problem. We aren’t stupid. We know who democrats are and what their agenda is and we vote. They can’t alienate us, but they certainly would love to get rid of us because younger people are much easier to manipulate.

Quite frankly - - I wish the Pubbies had the guts to end Social Security.
SS is nothing but a massive government-run Ponzi scheme - - which forcefully confiscates the money of hard-working people - - for their entire working lives - - then dribbles some of it back as a "benefit" - - but only if the workers live so long.
If we could have avoided the confiscation - - and put our money in a stock market index fund - - we'd all have millions of dollars - - of OUR OWN MONEY - - to manage during our retirement years. "Social Security" was - - and is - - another communist scam to control our lives and our money. It is indefensible - - and should and must be ended!

Same o same o with the dims. Yep, when losing, they play on the minds of the seniors. It has never worked, dims. It's over for you again until next time. If there is a next time.

I don't think it will work this election...our social security "lockbox" was robbed by the democrats years ago...and nothing they can say will "scare" me....I worked hard my whole life to provide for my comfortable retirement....remember way back when gore told US he was shocked to find seniors eating dog food...well obama your messing with the supply chain has made it very expensive to buy dog food....and where's our supposed secretary of transportation these days...buttigieg....home nursing his babies?

Every single mailer, radio, TV and Digital ad for the Demoncrats contain threats about ending abortion and eliminating Social Security and Medicare. Every darn one. So they have been yelling FIRE in a crowded theatre for 50 years, but the dastardly truth is, the Demoncrats are the ones that raided AlGore’s “Lockbox” and have squandered the Social Security “Trust Fund..” I have yet to hear “Team Mitch” or Kevin say ANYTHING to refute this truth. Time for the scared seniors to be taught what is REALLY happening…

Fear is the only tool that the democrats have because they certainly can't entice voters with anything good. SS and Medicare cuts for seniors, no abortion for the young, Climate Change for the gullible and higher inflation for those who are not on the government dole and must work for a living. What's left, no tips for waitresses or bartenders? FJB, his family and the circus freaks in his administration.

Its much more than fear, its Projection. Like some have pointed out here the "lockbox" was raided decades ago by Democrats, this made Social Security a Ponzi scheme and like all Ponzi schemes the last ones out pay the bill.

Part of President Trump brilliant campaign was to declare over and over SS would not be touched.
Amazingly, in California all the adds are pro-abort. And we have legal partial birth abortion.
