What Abolish Social Security????

I'm going to evaluate the story that was on Think Progress. About former Bush officials rip Tea Parties. The story is intended for the Republican Party and why they are seeking to abolish Social Security. The author of the article is Lee Fang which also has a video clip and the statements from David Frum a former speech writer in the Bush White House and Scott McClellan a former press secretary to Bush. They are talking about the Tea Parties for their very extreme ideas like abolishing Social Security. Saying that this "plays too much to people's fears and hatred." David Frum talks about how not even two percent of the members in the Republican Party would agree to abolishing Social Security. Scott McClellan went a different route on talking about the people in the Tea Parties by stating what one person in the Tea Party said about President Obama saying that Obama is a terrorist. Scott McClellan also says he thinks that their could even be people in the Tea Parties that have concerns and do not want to abolish Social Security. McClellan finish by saying that the Tea Parties "hasn't shown itself to be a strong, powerful force, even within the Republican Party." I agree with both of the men, David Frum and Scott McClellan and I don't think we should abolish Social Security, this idea just has to be in the top ten of the stupidest ideas ever in America. Even though it was only about two minutes. they talk about good things that could make people who want to abolish Social Security not want to abolish it after they see this.
