Kerry and Clinton are getting ready to show the public who really cares about our troops.

A Small Way to Say Thanks?

By David S. Broder
Sunday, May 27, 2007; Page B07

On this Memorial Day weekend, when Americans pause to think about their debt to the men and women who fight our wars, a battle of a different kind is going on -- a struggle between the White House and Congress over pay for the armed forces.

The fight, like so many others in Washington, has become partisan, with such high-profile Democrats as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Rep. Rahm Emanuel joining Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee. Their statements are plainly designed to carry the message that Democrats care about the well-being of the troops more than do their Republican rivals -- a counter to the GOP's traditional affinity for the military.

Thanks Tay!

1. I sent thank you e-mails to all that voted no.

Was time consuming, but worth it.

2. If Clinton and Emanuel are involved, it's just a photo-op.

There isn't a genuine bone in either of their bodies.

5. Yes. And this WILL get somewhere. It is important for our troops and

the time is right to challenge this wrong notion that Repubs really support our troops and care about their well being.

Broder isn't even important to the message real message here.
