Halloween comes early for the Kerry campaign

We're two weeks from an election, and 13 days from Halloween, and the Kerry campaign for President is trotting out the usual skeletons and boogeymen to scare voters into voting for them:

- scaring seniors that George W. Bush is going to take their social security away from them through a "January surprise" to privatize social security. Nonsense. Bush's plan for personal retirement accounts is sound and has been known since the 2000 election.

- scaring young people that the Bush administration is going to start a draft after the election. Nonsense. The only congress critters to propose a draft were Democrats and the bill was soundly defeated in the house 400 to 2 by the Republicans.

Hey - John Kerry. Boo!
