I was a little worried at the beginning.

I thought his people had buffaloed him into giving a laundry list speech.

Indeed, Bush had to give a rationale for his reelection in domestic terms. And that had me worried.

Then Bush turned, and pivoted to the great issue of our time: not simply the War against Islamic Fascism, but something larger. Bush understands, as Kerry fails to, that this is a war for the propagation of liberty across the world. Bush's vision is that liberty, above all things, is the key to mitigating hatred, malice, and spite. Bush's understanding recalls that of Churchill, who reminded Britons during the dark days of the Summer of 1940, that mankind could advance into the "broad, sunlit uplands" of peace and prosperity, but only after the monster Hitler had been defeated.

Here's the key to why Bush will smash Kerry in November. Kerry was all about his biography. That's nice, but it isn't quite enough to give people a reason to vote for somebody or some thing. Bush is all about the future, our posterity.

Bush has set the agenda, and has framed the debate. I suspect that in choosing the battlefield, he has won the campaign.

good post.

everything you say is right.

i just wish, though, that the president's love for liberty abroad would be matched here at home. unfortunately his domestic agenda is spend, spend, spend, grow more government. which by the way was his record in texas also.

we are all democrats now. the democrat party is a bunch of communists; the republicans are just socialists.

obviously the country needs gwb - he is a very good man as well - and we need to crush kerry, a lying piece of dog poop....but the gop is not a conservative party (at the national level) and gwb is not a true (fiscal) conservative. i guess the days of thinking that we are going to have a true fiscal conservative in the white hosue are over. more government from here on out. that is after all what the american people want.

You nailed it, sec9. Kerry's battlefield is/was VN, and the Swifties took care of that campaign. The President has checkmate!
