GOP Fires Back at Democrats' Take on Iowa Debate

Fox News was the first to report on a Democratic National Committee memo weighing in on tonight's GOP debate co-hosted by Fox News in Ames, Iowa.

Now, the GOP has shot back.

RNC Spokesperson Kirsten Kukowski tells Fox, "While the headlines scream about Obama's failed economy, it's no wonder Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Democrats are desperately trying to change the conversation. The same president and party that prided themselves on changing the tone in politics are now resorting to negative attacks against Republicans because they don't have any accomplishments of their own to tout. Just ask Team Obama - they laid out their negative attack strategy just this week."

Ahead of tonight's debate, the press machines of both parties and the string of presidential candidates have kicked into high gear.

Here is the rest of the RNC's take on the DNC memo:

I thin Fox News gets and F on tonight’s “debate”. They have encouraged bickering among the candidates rather than allowing them to state their positions and differences. Plus, they have not been even handed about asking the questions.

Oh yeah, and they forgot to mention these interesting little nuggets about their new choice, Governor Rick Perry.
