Spitting on FDR's Grave

First, those mean, rottten people at Progress for America, have the audacity to use FDR's image in an ad promoting Bush's Social InSecurity non-plan, then after FDR's grandson asks them to stop it, they have the nerve to refuse.

To compare the courage needed to create Social Security "to the courage it will take to dismantle the most successful social program in history is simply unconscionable," Roosevelt, 70, wrote.

I wrote this little rhyme to show how mad I am that they are being so disrespectful and nasty.

FDR was a great man
He created our retirement plan

Progress for America is crude
Using his image is plain rude

On Roosevelt's grave they spit
when they suggest getting rid of it

When private accounts are pursued
The American people are screwed.

It makes me really sad because the depths to which the Bush supporters will sink to push their lies and mis-information are preposterous.
