Bush did not campaign on SS reform. SS was hardly even a blip on the radar. It was after his election was safely secure that he advanced his current SS agenda.

I don't know about you, but every damn liberal and conservative I know knew that Bush intended to privatize social security.

It may not have been the centerpiece of his campaign, but unlike kerry and gay marriage, he made it clear and plain where he stood and what his plans were.

If it was a blimp, that blimp was the size of the goodyear fleet.

You're right, everyone knew something was going on with SS. Part of that came from his first campaign. However, SS reform or overhaul was hardly part of the campaign.
