Monday, April 7, 12:02 a.m. EDT Hillary, Other Dems MIA at Rallies to Support the Troops
Sen. Hillary Clinton and other elected Democrats in the New York tri-state area have been conspicuously absent from recent rallies held to support U.S. armed forces fighting in Iraq, says a New York City talk show host who has attended and helped promote many of the events.
"We have promoted dozens and dozens of rallies," WABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa told his colleague Steve Malzberg Sunday morning. "How come we don't see any being sponsored by elected Democratic officials? ... How come we never see any elected Democrats at these support-the-troops rallies?"
Sliwa noted that for the second weekend in a row, two local Republicans, Rep. Vito Fossella and State Sen. Marty Golden, were hosting pro-troop rallies in their communities.
But, he complained, "How come we haven't seen Hillary Rodham Clinton or 'Chuckie Cheese' Schumer or Frank Lautenberg or [Jon] Corzine or [Joe] Lieberman or [Chris] Dodd there in Connecticut?"
While many elected Democrats claim to support the troops even as they second-guess their commander in chief, they've been mostly missing from public displays backing America's men and women in uniform as they march into harm's way.
Sliwa said he'll be monitoring pro-troops rallies in the tri-state area for the next three weeks and pledged that if none of the region's six Democrat senators show up, he'll stage a separate rally where they'll be the lone invited speakers.

Have you ever noticed how certain terms seemingly coined on FreeRepubic often make their way into common political jargon and dialog?
With this in mind, I vote whole heartedly to make the "Empress" handle stick to Hillary....along with all of its permutations. Let's take every opportunity to make it so. Let's see.....the Empress of the Democratic party, her Empress, etc. etc.
Any other suggested usages?

WTF??? Do they think that all the troops are already Republican?
When our guys come home, the dems are gonna lose LOTS of votes. People remember who stands behind them when the going gets tough. And who doesn't stand behind them.
BTW, does anybody know what the party ratio in the military is? (was?)
To: TBP
Their too busy sabotaging all of those military absentee ballots for 04 to bother with any troop rally.

The term "Empress" seems too grand to apply to Hitlery. How about "Hijack" Hitlery since she doesn't take a backseat to anyone, even in her position as JUNIOR senator. In fact she hijacks the media at any event wherever she goes except when Dubya appears. Then she takes a reluctant backseat.

How about "Hijack" HitleryHow about poopypants Hitlery?
If only I had a way with graphics I could show:
eye love count tree music.
Can anyone onboard do that? (We need an eye, heart, Hitlery's face, a tree and a music symbol.)
incidentally, although I am a practicing Christian, I despise this evil (w)(b)itch!

I didn't coin it, unfortunately. "The Empress" was Hitlery's Secret Service code name when they first arrived in Washington. Bill's wa "Jethro."

Everything she has ever sought for has been self-serving, power seeking, so how about a new toy "Power-EVIL Hillary" (instead of Power Rangers)

In fairness, though, the "Republican" governor didn't show up, either.
