Bush-bashing dominates Republican debate

Republican candidates in the 2008 presidential race today sharply criticised George Bush for being a vote-loser, during a live televised debate.

During the two-hour debate in Manchester, New Hampshire, the third since the campaign began, the candidates were asked what job they would give Mr Bush.

"I would certainly not send him to the United Nations" to represent the US, Tommy Thompson, one of the candidates, said.

The president also faced criticism over his handling of the Iraq war and illegal immigration, the hottest issue in the US after Iraq.

Another Congressman, Tom Tancredo of Colorado, replying to the question about giving Mr Bush a job, recalled that the White House aide, Karl Rove, had once told him to "never darken the door of the White House". He said he would tell Mr Bush the same thing.
