Not exactly. I supported the privatization of Social Security. However, Many people were concerned that the average citizen would get ripped off by scams, charges etc.. And few trusted Bush to put together a system that would incorporate the high integrity required for such a venture.
I don't remember the left saying Social Security isn't an issue. They said they didn't like the idea of privatization and didn't trust Bush to make a sound system that didn't make billions for his buddies at the expense of the average citizen. I wouldn't be surpised if he would have given the privatization contract to Haliburton.
