Who will they vote for? #100

The US military. You may know them as the group who's actually putting life and limb at risk in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Who will those troops support in this election?

According to this poll it's not The Messiah.
A poll by the Military Times newspaper group suggests that there is overwhelming support for John McCain among U.S. troops in every branch of the armed forces by a nearly 3-1 margin.

According to the poll, 68 percent of active-duty and retired servicemen and women support McCain, while 23 percent support Barack Obama. The numbers are nearly identical among officers and enlisted troops.

The Military Times, which publishes the Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times, polled 80,000 subscribers from Sept 22 to Sept. 29. The non-scientific survey gathered 4,300 respondents -- all of them registered and eligible to vote.


Let's contrast this information to another gun toting voting bloc....drug dealers. Who do you think will take the bulk of the drug dealer vote?

So you decide. Do you want to vote along with the voting bloc of active military personnel or drug dealers?

We're not going to let the military vote this time around. So, go suck an egg!

Love,

The Democrats

Yeah, I haven't heard that Acorn was making any special effort out on military bases.
