Dean Says Republicans Offer `Deficits' and `Deceit'
(Update2)
April 22 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean said Saturday that George Bush, his chief adviser, Karl Rove, and Republicans in Congress offer Americans ``deficits, divisiveness and deceit,'' and predicted Democrats will retake the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives in November.
``Six months from today, Americans will be asked one simple question: Do you want more of the same Bush and Republican policies or do you want change?'' Dean said at the spring meeting of the Democratic National Committee in New Orleans. ``The Democratic Party offers the American people the change they are looking for.''
The Democrats chose New Orleans for their three-day meeting to emphasize, according to Dean, that ``Republicans have cut and run when it comes to rebuilding the Gulf Coast. We won't.''
Dean yesterday donned a white Hazmat suit and brown and yellow work gloves to help gut a storm-ravaged home in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward so that it can eventually be restored.
The ward is still largely without power eight months after Hurricane Katrina hit and Vincent Copper, 68, the owner of the home, stood by Dean and said help had ``been slow'' in coming. ``Rome wasn't built in a day,'' Copper said.
