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.

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.

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?

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.

Not only is Sen. Feingold's approach a disservice to those who work tirelessly to protect America, it sends the wrong message to our enemies.

It seemed to be a speech more appropriate for a political hack than a presidential candidate by someone who clearly fails to recognize leadership. It was a contradiction within a contradiction.

Does Hillary Clinton really want to talk about health care? The American people were pretty clear in rejecting a program that would have cost hard-working taxpayers billions of dollars.

Democrats will use any excuse to avoid offering the American people an actual agenda. They will go to great lengths to avoid talking about the substantive issues.

It's unfortunate that some Democrats would trade progress for partisanship to benefit their political ambitions. What our country doesn't need are Democrat leaders who promote a cut-and-run strategy in Iraq that hurts our ability to fight the war on terror.

It's shameful that Democrats are so eager to exploit this national crisis that they revert to finger-pointing for political gain rather than talking about any solutions.
