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.

Yes he did. He also campaigned on it back in 2000--and back then it was a blip on the radar. Remember the "3% personal accounts" proposal?

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.
