Dean: Bush Republicans Are Putting Politics Ahead of What's Right
December 3, 2007
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement after President Bush spoke on Iraq and the work of Congress:
"On issue after issue, President Bush and his Republican allies refuse to work with Democrats to solve our country's problems, putting politics ahead of doing what's right. It's Republicans in Congress, not Democrats, blocking funding for our troops while promoting a failed strategy in Iraq. Our troops have done their jobs honorably but Iraq has failed to make the necessary political progress on the ground. From the war in Iraq to health care for our kids, Republicans continue to stand in the way of progress. It's time for Bush Republicans to stop obstructing Democratic efforts and get to work for the American people."
