We should talk about terrorism (securing our ports etc) when Bush tries to

cut taxes for his rich buddies. Bush's first priority is going to be tax cut giveaways for the rich.

Think about it:

"Mr. President, the voters of this country expect you to make keeping our country safe, not keeping your friends rich, your #1 priority. You have allowed yourself to become distracted from the great danger facing our country. We consider the issue of terrorism and national security--keeping our children safe--are the most urgent and important facing this nation. We urge you to join us."

1. good response, but

Bush & the RW propaganda machine will just respond that "we need the tax cuts to keep our economy growing {lie}- a strong economy is the best way to fight terra...our tax cuts go to every 'Merican, you don't want to take away the tax cut of Joe Six-Pack do you?"

2. Of course Bush will respond, but they don't have magic wands.

Bush's popularity depends on his handling of the war on terra.

The Dems need to establish their bona fides as taking terrorism seriously, and take a few shots at him.

The real fight is for 2006 and 2008. Bush, in a sense, is already a past concern at this point.

3. Who is 'we'?

DUers? Democrats? You surely don't expect anyone in Washington is going to say this and even if they did, would it be on the news?

I don't think so.

"We" are voiceless and unrepresented.

4. Democrats and DU'ers and the folks in Washington.

Having some discipline while trying to stick it to the Rethugs would be nice.
