Bush Outlines Plan for a 2nd Term and Attacks Kerry's Record
By ADAM NAGOURNEY and RICHARD W. STEVENSON

George W. Bush accepted the Republican nomination to run for a second term as president last night, outlining proposals that he vowed would create jobs, expand health care and broaden educational opportunities, while he battered Senator John Kerry for what Mr. Bush said was a weak and wavering record on national security and the economy.

At the culmination of a four-day convention in New York, Mr. Bush repeatedly and soberly referred to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as he portrayed his first term in the White House as one shaped by that tragedy. Defining his presidency with historic sweep, he suggested that Mr. Kerry would falter in the face of the continuing threat to the United States.

"We will build a safer world and a more hopeful America, and nothing will hold us back,'' Mr. Bush said.

"Generations will know if we seized this moment, and used it to build a future of safety and peace. The freedom of many, and the future security of our nation, now depend on us."<snip>

2. This from the MORAN

who ignored warnings for 9 months prior to 9/11, spends 42% of his time on vacation, and doesn't read newspapers. America deserves better!

3. A friend of mine sums it up....

"Mom has to work at both McDonalds and a Taco Bell to make ends meet, while hubby slaves away with no benefits like pension or health care.  That's his dream for America. "

President yet.
