Rubio: “Seven Simple Ways To Protect Seniors”

Published August 20, 2010 5:25pm ET



When Marco Rubio said he was open to raising the retirement age for Social Security eligibility, Charlie Crist’s campaign attacked Rubio’s proposal as “cruel, unusual and unfair to seniors living on a fixed income“–and that was back in March when Charlie Crist was still a Republican.

Nevermind that Rubio merely proposed raising the retirement age for younger workers, and seniors currently living on a fixed income wouldn’t be touched by such a move. Crist was all too eager to scare seniors, and you can bet Crist and whoever wins the August 24 Democratic primary will play the “granny card” against Rubio all the way until November 2.
