Why are you working so hard to make the case that Social Security needs to be preserved and that Bush didn't mean it when he promised it would be among the forefront of issues for his second term?

I'm not arguing it needs to be preserved PERMANENTLY

What I am arguing is, we could do it now, but we would seriously risk losing Congress next year, and therefore, it is smarter to wait until we can drum up more public support for this (say post 2012) so we don't have to worry about any political backlash

I support getting rid of it entirely, however, I don't want us going into the 2006 elections as the party that wants to "eliminate Social Security", it sends a bad message.
