I don't believe that's true. If they could get Bush to advocate increases in taxes and reductions in benefits that would provide a long-term solution, they would be quite happy to let him solve that problem and take the heat. But they're not going to propose that as an opening response for obvious reasons. They'll let Bush build the support and then "grudgingly" go along, at least in the safe seats, and let hte no votes come from the 6 unsafe districts and in the contest senate states.
