Remember the Social Security fight? It ain’t over, baby:
In an interview published today in The Wall Street Journal, President Bush told editorial page editor Paul Gigot that next year he plans on partially phasing out Social Security and replacing it with private accounts, and that he thinks he can do it as long as the Republicans retain control of Congress, which he thinks they will.

It’s also no accident he raises the issue in an interview with conservative columnist Gigot. The White House doesn’t want to broadcast his interest in phasing out Social Security. But they very much do want to create what amounts to a paper trail so that after a potential Republican victory they can argue that they contested the election on the basis of privatization and their win gives them a mandate.
If the Republicans hold onto their Congressional majorities by even a single vote, they will declare a mandate for their Dark Ages agenda. That is why they must be defeated.
