But can the Dems convince them to translate that support into votes?
It's pretty obvious if you're following the action on C-Span, that most of the Republicans in the Senate support the war before the troops.
They won't vote to allow our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan to spend a decent amount of time at home with their families between deployments. They can't do that and still keep Bush's war going, so they choose to support George Bush over the troops.
They won't vote to make Bush change his failed strategy, and they won't vote for, or even speak publicly about a policy change that requires what everyone knows we need, which is a diplomatic effort that will allow us to change course.
Supporting the troops means getting the policy right. The Senate Republicans, most of them, anyway, either don't have the nerve or the inclination to do that.
As JK explains to Chris Matthews on Hardball, what the Republicans say in private and how they vote on the Senate floor are two different things.
Call them and tell the Senate Republicans to end this immoral war and bring our troops home.

Wow, AWESOME interview!!!! I wouldn't have been able to see it without KerryVision and I'm so glad this is a way for others to see it, too. JK is just getting clearer and stronger every minute in his focus and message and it gives me such hope to know that he's fighting for us!
