If military personnel are putting their hard earned monies somewhere you can bet your bottom dollar they know what they are getting. The fact that they are giving it overwhelmingly to the Democratic candidate should be a wake up call to the troglodytes and sycophants howling about 'supporting our troops' all the while doing their ever-loving best to not support them.According to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain, and the fiercely anti-war Ron Paul, though he suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination months ago, has received more than four times McCain’s haul.
Despite McCain’s status as a decorated veteran and a historically Republican bent among the military, members of the armed services overall — whether stationed overseas or at home — are also favoring Obama with their campaign contributions in 2008, by a $55,000 margin. Of federal contributions by military personnel to the presumed presidential nominees, 57 percent has gone to Obama.
I cannot wait to hear the 'spin' on these facts the smear mill will be generating, can you?!
