"I think Americans are tired of being lectured to by Republicans who have brought a culture of corruption, cronyism and incompetence to Washington," he said. "They offer a legacy of more of the same -- deficits, divisiveness and deceit."

Control of Congress is at stake in November's elections, when Democrats need to gain six seats in the Senate and 15 seats in the House of Representatives to claim majorities.

Dean said the Democratic platform would include a rise in the minimum wage, protection of
Social Security, a fix for the Medicare prescription drug plan, tax fairness for the middle class, lobbying reform and a quick transition to local control in Iraq.

He blasted Bush for saying recently that U.S. troops would still be in Iraq into the next presidency. "He got us into it," Dean said. "He owes it to the American people to get us out."
