Rick Perry’s insistence that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme” has many saying he won’t be elected.  As the Chicago Tribune’s Clarence Page wrote:

Who’s going to trust a man who calls the program a criminal fraud and, in effect, called Americans a bunch of suckers for believing in it for these many decades?

It very well may be that someone who insists Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, despite all evidence to the contrary, is not electable on a national level.  But it’s worth remembering that last year, a tea partier in Wisconsin ran against Senator Feingold using the exact same line…and won.  

The people of Wisconsin had a choice between the awesome Russ Feingold & the sleaze-bag Ron Johnson & they chose the sleaze-bag. When good people don’t vote, bad things happen.
