Rove's Social Security "campaign" ?

NEVER MIND THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7797-2005Jan13.html
"White House allies are launching a market-research project to
figure out how to sell" privatizing Social Security, while
"Republican marketing and public-relations gurus are building teams
of consultants," reports the Washington Post. The effort, led by
Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman, "will use Bush's campaign-honed
techniques of mass repetition, never deviating from the script and
using the politics of fear to build support." Groups including
Progress for America, the National Association of Manufacturers and
the Republican Jewish Coalition are also advocating for
privatization. Progress for America's TV ads, which include images
of Franklin D. Roosevelt, have been protested by FDR's family. His
grandson wrote, "My grandfather would surely oppose the ideas now
being promoted by this administration and your organization."
