I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Conservatives have completely dropped the ball on this and allowed the Left to literally run over us on this issue. The Left has been making numerous phone calls to literally every district in this country attacking Bush and Congressmen for supporting SS reform without any response from conservative organizations. I have gotten about 4 phone calls alone attacking Congressmen Ron Lewis (R-KY), one of the safest members of the GOP caucus (normally winning with about 70% of the vote) over this and no response from any conservative organizations. Imagine the effect in marginal districts.
The conservative organizations better start educating the public about this issue or efforts at reform will be toast.
Rep. Chris Chocola of the IN-02 held a townhall meeting on social security reform. He was "Freeped" by extreme lefties. The IN-02 is a swing district with 15% seniors. He might have trouble in 2006 if the RATS continue their "Kill Grandma" theme.
