WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to remarks President Bush made at a White House press conference today that he hopes the midterms elections are based on economic performance:

"The upcoming midterm elections are a referendum on the failed economic policies of President Bush and Republicans that are leaving middle-class families behind.

"The economic record of President Bush and the Rubber Stamp Republican Congress is woeful. The middle class is being squeezed as more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Real income is down. Paychecks of full-time workers are down. The President's record of job creation is the worst since Herbert Hoover. Yet health care costs are at a record high, student loan rates are at their highest in six years, and energy costs are draining more and more from the pocketbooks of American families.

"Meanwhile, Republicans continue to single-mindedly pursue tax cuts for the wealthiest few, and refuse to raise the minimum wage.

Wait a minute, I thought the Midterm Elections are a referendum on Bush and the Republican's failed National Security policies.

This is confusing....

BTW, Nancy... What are the Democrats' policies on the Economy (or National Security, for that matter)?

< crickets >

So if she believes its a referendum, and the Dims loose, will she shut her pie hole and let us kick Islamo-fascist butt?
