Democrats warn GOP would not change Iraq policy
November 4, 2006
WASHINGTON (AP) --
"No matter how bad Iraq gets or how many respected Americans say that our strategy is not working ... our president and his Republican Congress have promised not to change a thing if they are returned to power," Pennsylvania Democrat Lois Murphy said in her party's weekly radio address.
"Democrats will tackle the challenges that we face head on," she said.
Murphy, a lawyer, is challenging Republican Rep. Jim Gerlach, a two-term incumbent from suburban Philadelphia whom she nearly beat in 2004. Their rematch is considered one of the nation's most competitive races. Democrats need to gain 15 seats in Tuesday's elections to win control of the House.
Murphy has said the Iraq war has made America less safe and Congress should demand that President Bush present a comprehensive plan for success.
