KERRYITES CAN'T CHANGE THEIR SPOTS

Senator John Kerry organized a letter from ten Democratic senators to the Senate Budget Committee criticizing President Bush’s planned pay raise for the military. The President has requested a 2.2 % increase for both the military and civil service in 2007. This is the first time he has not requested more for the military, but if we consider the current budget deficit, and the fact that military personnel have received approximately 29% in pay raises since 2001, is 2.2% really so bad?

Granted, I feel military pay is still low for the job they are doing for us, but is Kerry really concerned about our military, or is he just trying to create some positive publicity in an area where he and many of his Democratic Party cronies are lacking?

Once again, Kerry comes across as a pure politician (someone who will do anything for votes.) This action is only window dressing to try and hide the fact that he and his ilk have voted against almost every major military spending bill since being in office. They have never supported having a strong military. Senator Kerry, you can change your words but you are still an extreme liberal who does not support our military. You will never be able to hide your lies about our military men and women.
