In 2018 Beto was up against Cruz who called Social Security a Ponzi Scheme, so He didn’t need to say too much. Beto is like a low resolution photo. The more you zoom in, the blurrier it gets.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #1
We know what Beto said in 2012 about Social Security crazytown Mar 2019 #2
Respectfully,I had never heard it prior to seeing this video. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #3
OK. Well It's worth knowing. crazytown Mar 2019 #5
I agree 100%. It's ridiculous that he won't release them. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #8
I have no doubt he will release them. crazytown Mar 2019 #10
Agree.It's such a stupid thing to leave hanging out there for no reason. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #11
Has he changed his stance? Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2019 #6
It's ... fuzzy :) crazytown Mar 2019 #7

Hardly... not even close!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #40
Now would I exaggerate? crazytown Mar 2019 #56
Somehow I don't think his kids will be relying on Social Security. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2019 #4
Good point Hassin. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #9
More effective to make the case for your candidate than to criticize someone you may need to vote fo Hassler Mar 2019 #12
I agree.That's why I don't criticize any of our candidates.Examining their positions on the issues Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #14
What happened to vetting... or does that only apply to Bernie?! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #41
Why are all these anti-Beto OPs showing up recently? Any connection to getting $6.1M in 24 hours? George II Mar 2019 #13
Nobody is anti-Beto George II. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #15
Really, under the title "2012 Beto Has Some HORRIBLE Ideas For Social Security"? George II Mar 2019 #18
"He has articulated his current position on SS several times" melman Mar 2019 #26
Why do you ask? George II Mar 2019 #27
I'd be curious to know how, when and why he changed his mind. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2019 #31
I'm sure Beto has "evolved" on this issue also, seeing how it's starting to get vetted. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #44
That's a good one! MyNameGoesHere Mar 2019 #57
Suddenly opposed to vetting, eh? aikoaiko Mar 2019 #37
No, not at all. But presenting information that isn't current OR 100% accurate is not "vetting". George II Mar 2019 #38
Sam Seder is a Bernie Sanders supporter Buzz Lightyear Mar 2019 #16
Has nothing to do with Beto's position on Social Security. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #17
Instead of asking people here what his position is..... George II Mar 2019 #20
I am asking around. I guess you'd be the person to ask since Beto is your chosen candidate Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #21
He has a 100% score from the Alliance for Retired Americans. George II Mar 2019 #22
bingo! sheshe2 Mar 2019 #23
OK. So you don't know the answer either. I'll reach out to Beto's campaign tomorrow and fill you in. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #24
On the ARA site they get into how they establish their ratings. Position on SS is a big part of it. George II Mar 2019 #25
I know that.That's why I support Bernie Sanders.He is rated 100% lifetime from the ARA. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #28
I would have looked into his current position before I posted an old video of O'Rourke.... George II Mar 2019 #29
That's the title of the video George. I posted it to see if anyone knew if it was still his position Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #33
I know his position. On the other hand, I surely wouldn't post an old video critical... George II Mar 2019 #36
Sam Seder posted the video yesterday and clearly said Beto's speech was from 2012. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #42
I'm going to hold you to that standard next time a Bernie hit piece is posted. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #43
Ah, so that's it! In that case, since you posted O'Rourke's position on an "issue" from when.... George II Mar 2019 #45
No no no no Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #47
I hope so too. You certainly don't have to worry about me, I've always done so in the past. George II Mar 2019 #49
LOL.OK. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #50
That 100% rating is not current melman Mar 2019 #30
Oh melman..................... George II Mar 2019 #32
That's from 2017. 2018's ratings should be out soon. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #34
The 2017 ratings were released in May 2018. Probably a couple of months. George II Mar 2019 #35
But Sam Seder says... lapucelle Mar 2019 #52
The ARA endorsed Beto in the senate race. N/T lapucelle Mar 2019 #46
Over Ted Cruz????????????? What a shocker!! Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #48
Sam Seder (among others) is concerned notwithstanding a 100% rating, an endorsement, and the record. lapucelle Mar 2019 #51
I should hope he co-sponsored it since every Democratic member of the House co-sponsored it. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #53
Bravo indeed, Beto. Poor Sam Seder... lapucelle Mar 2019 #54
Beto put Texas into play and could have won in a presidential year Gothmog Mar 2019 #19
More than 400K who voted for Gov Greg Abbott TexasBushwhacker Mar 2019 #55
And did you see the HR bill that he wrote to introduce to raise the age!!?? Amimnoch Mar 2019 #58
