The AARP which saved Bush on Medicare Drug benefits is so far not playing ball on Social Security. http://tinyurl.com/6gng4 or http://www.aarp.org/legislative/legipoly/Articles/a2004-09-10-pp_economicsecurity.html
Summary: "Social Security is not in crisis. The program will remain strong and solvent for a good while longer... The program will have to change if it is to stay strong well into the future... ...The sooner the changes are made, the more modest the changes can be and the more time people will have to adjust their financial plans. But not all of the ideas being discussed are good ideas. Some propose diverting part of the money that goes to Social Security and putting it into individual investment accounts. These accounts would worsen Social Security's finances, reduce part of its guaranteed benefits, and add risk. AARP supports the idea of people having personal retirement accounts, but they should be in addition to, not a replacement for, any of the benefits now guaranteed through Social Security."
