WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, on NBC's Meet the Press, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman made the following remark:

"What the American people want in my judging is the same thing they wanted in 2004 and 2002, when we as the incumbents won, because we were seen as agents of change. And the Democrats were seen as agents of the status quo. What they want is change, and they want change because too often the government hasn't served their needs."

Statement of DNC Communications Director Karen Finney:

"The American people do want change because the truth is they've been shortchanged by the Washington Republican agenda of corruption, cronyism and incompetence. Republicans in Washington have forgotten that they are here to serve the American people, not line their pockets and cater to the special interests. Americans overwhelmingly realize that what the Republicans are offering is a divided America, not a better America. They are tired of the divisiveness, the distractions and the distortions. They are tired of the culture of corruption that Republicans have brought to Washington, D.C. They are tired of a White House that refuses to be honest about important questions of national security, and they are tired of a Republican Congress that steadfastly refuses to hold President Bush's administration accountable and that simply ignores Americans' true priorities of real national security, jobs, healthcare and education. And, as we saw in this week's elections, Americans are tired of the Bush-Rove politics of division.

"Democrats believe that the American people deserve better. Americans believe that they deserve the truth and that the truth will make our country safer and stronger. By refusing to tell the truth, Republicans in Washington the have made our country weaker. Democrats believe that by telling the truth and uniting our country, we can do better."
