Well georgie shrub himself gave his speech last night.
Where to begin?
CNN: Bush convention speech transcript
The unfortunate part is that shrub had nearly 4 years in his presidency to do the things he promised in his 2000 campaign, but he hasn't. And yet he is now making nearly all of the same promises tonight, and pretending like they are brand new.

Back to the Future - What Bush would do if he were president. By William Saletan
"This was a speech all about what Bush will do, and what will happen, if he becomes president.You know, I was going to go point over point on this speech and hit back with the facts, but after seeing the news today in Russia, I just don't have the heart to do it right now, so I will let Kerry do it:
Except he already is president. He already ran this campaign. He promised great things. They haven't happened. So, he's trying to go back in time. He wants you to see in him the potential you saw four years ago. He can't show you the things he promised, so he asks you to envision them. He asks you to be 'optimistic.' He asks you to have faith."
Kerry's response
