ALBUQUERQUE, Aug. 11 -- This was supposed to be the month when President Bush began to outline his domestic agenda for a second term, but as he campaigns in advance of his national convention, his message remains elemental: He is the candidate who will keep the country safe.
With a television ad unveiled Wednesday that summons memories of Sept. 11, 2001, and the passion he exhibits over Iraq at his rallies, Bush continues to make his leadership in the war on terrorism -- and what he calls rival John F. Kerry's equivocation -- the dominant argument in his reelection strategy.

9/11, Terrorism, I will keep you safe, Blah, Blah, Blah. That is the entire theme of Bush's campaign. Is that all there is? Does he have anything else to sell to the American people. His answer to any question and any problem is Terrorism and 9/11. Why do you suppose he is not reflecting on his accomplishment in office?
In addition do you think he has the magic bullet and can protect us from terrorism any better than Kerry?
