Democratic operatives are targeting four House Republicans running for Senate - attempting to put them on the spot on whether they support the privatization of Social Security and cuts to Medicare as outlined in
Rep. Paul Ryan's budget roadmap.
TPMDC has learned the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is going after Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE), Rep. John Boozman (R-AR), Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO) with releases to their local newspapers to ask where they stand on Republican plans to "kill Social Security."
The DSCC asks those members to take a stand on
Ryan's plan to "privatize Social Security, cutting the tax rate on corporations, raising the retirement age to 70, and moving Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries to private insurance plans," asking if they side with Main Street or Wall Street.
"Will Congressman Mike Castle support the Republican plan that would leave the livelihood of Delaware's 113,885 Social Security beneficiaries to the volatility of the stock market," DSCC spokeswoman Deirdre Murphy asks in one of the releases going after Castle, who is running for the open U.S. Senate seat.

The biggest mistake a Republican can make...Actually telling people what you want to do. No one told him (Ryan) he was just supposed to shout "Freedom!" at the top of his lungs."
