Tracey Schmitt Party Quotations

President Bush believes that the promise of Social Security fulfilled over the last 70 years ought to be a promise we keep for future generations. Scoring political points by shirking responsibility for tomorrow's seniors is not a birthday party Americans can afford to attend.

By launching bitter, partisan attacks that ignore problems in his own backyard, Sen. Reid is emblematic of a minority party that is long on anger and short on substance.

Chairman Dean's outrageous comparison today between the United States and Iran is reckless and wrong. By equating the United States of America to an oppressive regime that promotes anti-Semitism, suppresses women and restricts free speech, Howard Dean continues to lower the bar for political discourse in this country. The question for Democrats is, do they stand beside their party chairman and his latest wild-eyed attack?

If Howard Dean's party wants to wage their campaign on angry attacks, that's their prerogative. President Bush and Republicans are going to instead act, and offer the American people solutions that will strengthen our economy and keep us safe.

This is more of the same from the party that opposes this president's effort to keep our country safe. The bottom line is while this president campaigns against the terrorists, Democrats remain focused on campaigning against this president.
