Bush must be allowed to destroy Soc Security or the War effort will fail

CongressDaily on WH aide Peter Wehner's Soc Sec secret memo


"Senate Republicans signaled their wariness yesterday in a private retreat on the year's legislative agenda with White House adviser Karl Rove. An attendee said the senators gave Mr. Rove 'a subtle but clearly identifiable message that the GOP would go along…but they were scared to death.' The senators indicated that the president 'had to step up his activity' to sell his initiative to Americans, which Mr. Rove said Mr. Bush would do. But the attendee said senators also warned the Social Security proposal 'needed to be bipartisan or else no go.'"

"Still, some Republicans are resigned to uniting behind the president, given his determination. 'The president is going to go ahead,' said Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, a Republican leadership lieutenant. 'He cannot afford to fail. It would have repercussions for the rest of his program, including foreign policy. We can't hand the president a defeat on his major domestic initiative at a time of war.'"

1. We need a list of these Senators and then target them

Warn them that they will be targeted in future elections if they allow bush to dismantle Social Security.

2. F@!k this time of war bullshit. They use that phrase to screw us over and

over.

We are in no way threatened by Iraq. This war could go on or end it wouldn't change the fight on Social Security.

this. . .
