To highlight President Bush's diminished credibility on a number of issues important to Tennesseans, indeed all Americans, the Democratic National Committee today released a new television advertisement entitled, "Broken Promises." The ad began airing this morning in Nashville.
During his State of the Union address last night, President Bush offered more of the same failed policies and refused to address the fact that Tennesseans are facing increasing health care costs, and high energy and gas prices. Since President Bush took office, Tennessee has lost over 62,000 manufacturing jobs while President Bush and Washington Republicans have spent time dealing with their Party's corruption issue instead of creating jobs here at home. While Democrats have been fighting for a strong national defense President Bush's Administration has failed to provide the proper body armor and protection, putting Tennessee's 10,829 troops in possible danger.
"President Bush's broken promises have left his credibility in tatters and American families struggling to deal with the consequences," said DNC spokesperson Amaya Smith. "From national security to the economy, this Administration and the Republicans in Congress have repeatedly broken their promises. Americans are fed up with the Republican culture of corruption, with the empty rhetoric coming from Republicans in Washington, and with Republican policies that only benefit special interests.
"Together, America can do better. Democrats will continue to fight for hard-working American families and will provide honest leadership and open government."
