Bush is making the War on Terror More important than his own record
Isn't it his own fault if people take potshots at him for this?

This article was about the purple heart bandaids put me in mind of this, where the woman says
"..... noting how Kerry made the Vietnam war more important than his own record.

while BUSH is trying to avoid his own record by making the War on Terra more important, while hypocritically using 911 after he said he would not.

1. Fact is, that's all he has
and its really nothing but scare tactics. Consumer confidence plunged today because of the lack of job creation. The economy is trash on his watch. People are unemployed on his watch. He has nothing to cling to but terror and scare tactics.

3. His surrogates are playing the scare card. Bush to push ownership society
His surrogates are playing the scare card and the resolute (not stubborn) leader idea. Giuliani had the idiocy to claim Bush has vision.

Bush will push the "ownership society" meme on Thursday with a few other bright "compassionate conservative" themes. That meme has been revived too this week. He will have his little theater in the round that he has been practicing with on the stump all month.

He muffed his lines yesterday, though, when he said the war on terror can't be won.
