Wanna stop Rove from making this another national security election?
Here's what you, and the DNC can do: Make EVERY ISSUE in this election fall under the scope of "national security."

For example:

"9/11 Changed everything!"
Response: Yeah, we SO DID KATRINA!!! You guys cut funding for the levees, and you did a heckuva job with Brownie. FEMA is putting our security at risk with its piss poor management. We need to protect our cities from terrorism AND natural disasters, and you folks failed miserably on hurrricanes.

Also:

-Portray the GOP budget that cut assistance to the poor while giving tax cuts to Paris Hilton as against our economic SECURITY!

-Portrary GOP energy policies and lack of alternative energy policy as endangering our security.

1. Excellent!
Of course, frogmarching him out of the West Wing in handcuffs and throwing his pork-fed ass in jail will help too.

2. I don't want to stop him from making national security an issue.
I wan't bushco unmasked, exposed to the point of being undeniably the criminal cancer it is. I want the bullshit exposed, and I want America to reject it. I think that might happen in 06. Beat the spying drum. People can relate to google/ohter searches being spied on. I think twice now before I type something into a search engine. Msybe I should think twice about what I'm typing here. To hell with these freedom-hating frauds. Let them shove themselves down America's throat until America chokes on the stench and spits them out, once and for all. Changing the subject only let's them live to fight another day. We need to beat them, here and now and for good. That can only happen if America rejects them for what they are, rather than being distracted and lulled away.

I like your idea as an addition to making national security an issue - making every issue a national security issue is a great idea. But I want national security an issue as well. We shouldn't run from that fight.

Imho.

Smack them back with 'Katrina=Failure to keep people safe' every time they cry security after 9/11.

4. My reply would be...
"If Bush is so worried about terrorism and national security, why is he appointing incompetent cronies to the Department of Homeland Security so the Department will become so inept it's incapable of preventing terrorist attacks? Why is Bush pre-planning a Katrina-style terror attack response?"

I'd also point out the links between current DHS head Chertoff and terrorists, then point out Bush's connections to Bin Laden himself. I mean, REALLY, if they're worried about terrorists, why is Bush inviting Norquist's indicted terrorist budies to the White House?
