Five Bush Republicans in CA Tonight

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While President Bush is in California today to speak on the economy, all of the Republican presidential candidates are preparing to debate tonight at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. Though he'll be in their backyard, President Bush will noticeably be absent from the debate. But try as they might, the Republican candidates won't be able to run away from the failed record of Bush Republicans. The fact is, a vote for any of the Republican candidates is a vote for a third Bush term, and that's the last thing the American people want.

"President Bush may not be at the Republican debate, but make no mistake, four Bush Republicans will be on stage tonight," said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. "The Republican presidential candidates offer no new ideas, just a third Bush term. Americans are already turning out in record numbers to put an end to eight years of failed economic policies and a never ending war in Iraq that's been a distraction to fighting and winning the real war on terror. The contrast between the Republican debate tonight and the Democratic debate tomorrow will make the choice clear: Republicans represent the past, and Democrats represent the future."
