Elderly woman: “I’ve always felt like we could trust Elizabeth Dole.”

Man: “That’s right. Her opponent has been trying to frighten seniors – and that’s wrong.”

Elderly woman: “Please tell me more about Elizabeth Dole’s plan.”

Man: “She wants to give your grandchildren a plan so that Social Security is there for them when they retire.”

Elderly woman: “I think that’s a good idea because it will help young people and it won’t effect my benefits one penny.”
