Some people may be curious as to what these groups will do

Six Senate liberals on Thursday are holding the inaugural meeting for the newly formed Senate Social Security Caucus.

The huddle comes on the same day that a trio of Senate conservatives met to form the Senate Tea Party Caucus, providing a stark contrast between the two sides in the heavily divided upper chamber.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a self-described democratic socialist, hosted the first meeting, and Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) attended.

Sanders drew attention to the contrast between his group and the Tea Party Caucus after the meeting.

"As Bernie convened the new Defend Social Security Caucus, the new Tea Party Caucus met down the hall. Which would you join? #caucus," his office wrote in a tweet.

Is the poll asking which one I would join? If so, the one not made up of heartless monsters who want to send millions of elderly people into poverty and destitution instead of raising taxes ever so slightly.

There's 2 down.  4 to go.  2012 cannot come fast enough.

It's not asking anything sir -- asking your suggested question would just be akin to indirectly asking if you're a (D) or an (R) mostly, an uninteresting statistic

Then why is it a poll?
