It's war, taxes, and judges stupid

ILLUSTRATED: Protect the people and the Constitution, Invest in America, Interpret Justice in our Constitution
As he did four years ago, Karl Rove has telegraphed (summary) that National Security will be the GOP theme this year. In addition to their old standbys: taxes and judges.
This blog is full of posts describing how Democrats can articulate our positions on all three topics. A refresher:
Defense
-Democrats will agressively root out terrorists at home and abroad, and will do it in the most courageous way...the way that keeps our Constitution.
-Democrats will arrest and listen in on terrorists diligently, but there is no reason why a secret warrant cannot be gotten in 72 hours.
-Democrats support a drawdown of troops in Iraq to build up our political chips, the only winning solution.
-More troops means more resources to deal with the new al-Queda franchises spawned during the Iraq incursion. Also it frees up military resources to deal with Iran.
Taxes
-Bush is running the federal government into the ground, deliberately. Democrats will use your money to adequately & competently administer emergency response, public education, and fund a national healthcare risk pool.
-We will also start lowering the deficit, as Clinton had done.
Judges
-Judges should interpret the Constitution as if it is 2006, not 1789.
-All are equal in the eyes of the law and all must have access to justice.
