If you want to say that conservatives are cowardly for staying away from the issue to avoid being attacked, I agree with you. However, they wouldn't need to be concerned if it weren't for the unfair attacks, and as far as I can tell, on this issue, 100% of the attacks come from the left. 100%. I follow politics closely, and I have never, ever seen a liberal get attacked by a conservative for suggesting entitlement reform.
"a surprising amount of us don't have a problem with some common sense steps"
I have a hard time swallowing that, given who they elect. Harry Reid says that social security is in good financial shape, he gets re-elected. Barney Frank (chairman of the banking committee) says that Fannie and Freddie are great investments, and he gets re-elected.
Which powerful Republicans have been so irrefutably wrong on issues that vital?

you are not allowed to say cowardly, coward, cowardice etc.
like I said, if you are a big government type benefitting from loyal dependents who vote for you or recieve some guaranteed benefits as a rsult of them...these are all excellent programs and investments
