The main Rove Bush strategy is to push the war on terror and security of the American people ahead of all other priorities.

Well go ahead.

What have you done mr bush?

Then: The 9-11 conspiracy was allegely carried out by Saudi men who overstayed their visa.

Now: Today there is zero accountability of tracking people who over stay their visas.

Then: Homeland security will protect our ports and cities.

Now: They cut homeland security funds to NYC and DC.
They sold control of our ports to United Arab Emerites.

Then: We had porous borders.

Now: 6 years later we are thinking about building a mighty fence
with leftover slush funds as the director of Homeland security deems appropriate in the future.

Then: We had a modicum of civil rights and privacy.

Now: Be it a trip to the library, a phone call, a bank withdrawl, a secret search of your home and secret confiscation of property... etc. all the way to ... if branded an enemy you will not have any rights to a trial.

Then: We had a surplus to spend on security.

Now: give or take a $ trillion in the hole. (our hole - their pile)

As Amos said "JC on a crutch, who do they think they are?"
Any rehtoric about the great Bush security can be punched through like a wet tissue. Moderates like Hillary won't make the above comparisons, but dammit I think strong candidates should.
