Republican Senate May Try To Eliminate Social Security
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell would be the Majority Leader if the Senate turns red, and he refuses to state what he’ll do about Social Security. Steve Benen notes that McConnell has been bragging about his 2005 attempt to privatize Social Security.
Though he hasn’t mentioned it much on the campaign trail over the past year, McConnell specifically touted his effort to push President George W. Bush’s plans to reform Social Security in 2005, which would have set up private accounts for retirees.

When local reporter Joe Sonka asked McConnell whether voters should expect the senator to push Social Security privatization after the midterms, McConnell replied, “I’m not announcing what the agenda would be in advance.”

You’re going to eliminate a program into which I’ve paid for forty years?
No you won’t.

He is, thanks. He’s huge (about 180 lb, down from 200 at his biggest) but a total mushball. He terrifies the Fedex guy, and all he does is want to say hello. Bloodhounds are the greatest dogs. B)

They are. I’ve had bassets all my life, and Flop is my first bloodhound. I have a friend who raises the most amazing bassets, and she’s only just out of college. She has a waiting list years long, but her dogs are incredible. maplestreetbassets.com
