RNC Chairman Responds to Democrat Radio Address

WASHINGTON, April 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- RNC Chairman Robert M. "Mike" Duncan released the following statement today:

"Howard Dean has two candidates who are so out of touch, they think billions in tax increases will get our economy back on track. So his only option is to try to smear John McCain. The fact is that Howard Dean doesn't understand the American economy, and his distorted attacks on John McCain are laughable. Considering Dean's history of over-the-top rhetorical attacks, he has no credibility to seriously discuss economic policy now. Dean's attacks are a poor attempt to distract from his candidates' plans to raise taxes on hardworking Americans."
