Dean: Bush Administration Has Damaged Our Country
Posted by Stephanie Taylor on July 20, 2007 at 02:27 PM
Governor Dean responded today to Bush's false claim that the Democratic Congress doesn't want to give the troops a pay raise--despite the fact that it was the Bush administration that "strongly opposed" the raise:
"President Bush's comments today are exactly why America will elect a Democratic president in 2008 to restore our American values. President Bush and his Republican allies sent our brave troops into a war of choice without the proper equipment and on false pretenses. After the damage that President Bush and his Republican allies have done to undermine our core values, and a legacy that includes threatening to veto a pay raise for our troops because it was too much, overstretching our military to the breaking point after sending them to Iraq without the proper equipment, threatening to veto health care for our children, and knowingly putting survivors of Hurricane Katrina in toxic trailers, it’s clearer than ever that our country needs new leadership."
