Republican National Committee Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan released the following statement in response to the 2008 Republican Presidential Debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California:
“Maybe there really are two Americas: one of promise and opportunity that Republicans talked about tonight, and one of retreat and disappointment that the Democrats talked about last week.”
“A week ago, America saw eight Democrats rush to the left. They argued to see who would be the first to leave Iraq to the terrorists, and who was most enthusiastic about raising our taxes.
“Tonight, in contrast, the Republican candidates laid out their positive visions for America. They talked about strategies to win the War on Terror, and how to keep our taxes low so our economy will continue to grow and create jobs. The contrast with last week could not have been more stark.”
