CNN

Thats a great thing, the Military Personell should have there Votes counted first, when I was in the Army at 17 I was not allowed to Vote at 17, and those that are serving should be heard 1st!

I am a vet, and I can tell you that Troops do not vote republican. They do not vote based on a current war either, they do not vote based on economic conditions back home (they aren't living through them, they are living something far worse).

They vote on what benefits they will see when they are NOT in the military any more. To be fair, In the past we have had presidents from both parties treat our veterans well. This election is overwhelmingly in favor of Obama as the one who respects the service of our men and women serving.

McCain has consistently voted to betray our veterans, remove their benefits, reduce the thanks we give them and deny them a happy life upon their return to the civilian life. He thinks it's "too generous' for our country to thank these men and women appropriately. Apparently in his mind, they don't deserve anything for what they do for us. Killing them is the only benefit that he see's fit to bestow upon them.

Is it a wonder the military is supporting Obama 6-to-1? I think not.

Yeah-and guess who's reading-survalling them. The Repugs.

THE TROOPS MAY VOTE....BUT WILL THEIR VOTE BE COUNTED !!!!

THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO BE COUNTED.
THEY VOTED THEY SHOULD COUNT THIS ELECTION.
NOW OBOBA WANTS ALL FLA AND MICH. VOTES TO BE COUNTED...
NOT WHEN HILL. WS BEATING HIM BUT NOW.....
SO I THINK HE SHOULD DEMAND ALL THE OVER SEAS VOTES SHOULD BE FOUND AND COUNTED.......NOW.....
I DARE YOU OBOMA.......

I am confused when I read CNN's blogs and all blogs for that matter. It seems that the over whelmingly the poster support Obama. I seeing like 80% of the posts favor Obama. While Obama is ahead in the polls, he does not have a 80% to 20% lead. It is clearly evident that Obama supporter have a much stronger internet presense that McCain support. This does not mean Obama will win though. You all are fools if you think you will pursuade people to vote for Obama because of the over whelming support on the internet. I will vote for who I think is the best president, not for who a bunch of loonies on the internet think will be the best. If you struggling so much under bush policies how can you afford a computer and internet service. If you struggling that much disconnect the internet service. It is a luxury not a right.

It's refreshing that the government is actually trying to give military personnel a chance to vote given the GOP's repeated attempts to deny people the right to vote here. Spare me the dead voter line–Republicans don't want more people registered because they know new voters will ignore anything on the ballot with an R next to it.

In the bush/florida scheme of 2000 the decision was made to make sure those ballots from overseas came in and were counted even if they were received past the deadline for mail in ballots.....why not the same deal this time

Senator Obama and his campaign had already started a voter registration drive prior to and during his trip overseas to ensure that our military personnel received registrations and voter information on absentee ballots so that they can vote. They were handed out all over Europe while he was there. Many folks who posted on the board and the reports of his Europe trip, did not point this out enough. They were too busy focusing on the UNTRUE AND FALSE RUMOR that Senator Obama refused to visit the troops in Germany, which is a complete and total lie. We all know the Pentagon used the tactic of calling Senator Obama the day of his visit to express "their concern over his visiting the troops in Germany", when he had already been given clearance two weeks prior to his visit, to make it known they did not want Senator Obama to visit those troops. This is the kind of game playing that goes on with Bush, McCain and the republicans. There was no need for the Pentagon to call AFTER CLEARANCE HAD BEEN GIVEN, if they did not plan to try and make Senator Obama look bad, and plant the idea that he shouldn't visit the wounded troops.
Hopefully, the TROOPS SAW THROUGH IT as well as anyone else who listened to the entire chain of events surrounding Senator Obama's planned visit. John McCain has been using our troops for too long to try to give himself some credibility with the military and overstate his POW status! I'm still waiting to see his military record, and his wife's CURRENT income tax statement. Senator Obama's voting record in every respect is FOR OUR TROOPS, not against, as John McCain has voted.

I wonder if Obama will want to have their ballots thrownout like Gore did?

6:1 of 150,000 = = 128,500 : 21,500

Hmmmmm....., that just don't smell right.

Liberals are working day and night to figure out how to cheat THAT system. They've already cornered the "dead" vote.

Hopefully the oversea votes will all be counted and counted correctly–overseers will be needed

Finally, the military is going to get its due and get their votes counted.

Does not sit well for Democrats.

The men and women who are in the military are there because they "joined up". When they do join up, they know there is always the chance of going to war, especially in this day and age. To say they will vote for Obama because they want to come home is ridiculous. Sure they miss their families, but they know the reason they are there and they are brave and want to protect the U.S. They do not want to just pull out and then have to go back. It would be a travisty to lose that war and to all the men and woman who died and to their families and to America. I think they will vote for the nominee who can get the job done and get it done right.

I see the problem here being that McCain has not been clear that he wants the troop out fast, as quick as possible when everything is good.

McCain has said this, but he needs to be more articulate. He has to not sound as if he's echoing Obama's timetable.

The troops are bored, and they want to come home.. job is pretty much done.

Whether it's Obama or McCain, the troops need to come home for protection! Russia is on the march, this is no joke.

McCain/Palin 08! Join us, looks us up! Sign the petition.

ProudDemocrat–
You paranoid dweeb:::::
The DoD is only making sure the proper state forms are provided to the troops–and wherever possible making fax, email, etc...

The troops must register, and vote using the absentee voter forms provided by their state–signed sealed and delivered to their individual absentee voting address. Then the votes are counted also by the states.

There is no way the PENTAGON could possibly affect the actual votes made by each individual troop!!!

SOLDIERS, listen to a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Army. OBAMA is not the man for us. He is anti-military and will not support any legislation to the betterment of G-Is. Plus he lied about the Iraq war by stating he did not support the war. he may not have been for it, but he and God are the only one who knows. He never had a say in the matter. He was not a Senator when we went to the Desert. He was a IL. State Senator and they don't vote in national legislation. Any person across the nation can say whatever they choose after the fact. If you envision better benefits then you have no chose but to go McCAIN. This nation can not withstand a Democrat President with a Democrat controlled congress. I was a Democrat for 51-years, but have seen the light. This is an immoral party. Take OBAMA for instance setting and listening to a so called preacher blaspheme God and America for 20-years. His wife also not being proud to be an American. GIMME A BREAK THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT FOR ME AND SHOULD NOT BE FOR YOU.

obama by a landslide.

You Democrats need to check your FACTS, Al Gore in 2000 paid for lawyers to SQUASH the military vote as election after election they vote Republican.

Sorry Democrats, you people "repeating the same lie" doesn't make it true, but then again facts don't equate with you folks, how about some nice fuzzy words "hope" and "change" that mean nothing but uh, uh, uh, uh, words.

This is great news. Nobody under the age of 40 is voting for McCain, and that includes the majority of U.S. troops.

Our overseas military are extraordinary, courageous, volunteer citizens serving our country. They can leave the service at the end of their hitch if they want to, or they can stay on to serve the President of the United States, their Commander in Chief. They know what's what in Iraq, and they want to come home but will honorably serve until we win. Also, they know if Obama is elected, they will leave Iraq and go directly to Afghanistan, so what's different about that? They will overwhelmingly vote for McCain who is "one of them".

where are you guys getting your information about troops supporting Obama 6-1?

What polling organization has done this poll?

I think you are confusing it with the story that Obama has recieved donations from about 600 troops compared to 345 for Mccaine (or something of the sorts)

That is a highly dubious way of extrapolating a 6-1 degree of support.

I don't trust the Pentagone, they are a Right Wing politival entity.

I would not trust the Penagon to count all the votes, should have private co. to be there to over see. I am fr. Canada and I do care a lot of us up here are pulling for OBAMA.

OBAMA 08/12

Yeah... like the Pentagon is really going to fairly count all the ballots!!

Hey: realityking" Get your facts straight. You got it backwards. I live in Florida and worked on the 2000 campaign. It was the DEMOCRATIC VOTES that got tossed. The Repugs ran the election process – and ran it right into the ground. AND WERE PROUD OF IT!!!!

Just make you get the voter right and counted,not lost somewhere.

And make sure EVERYBODY is contacted and vouched for! This election season is too important to botch it up and have another 2000

You all are fooling yourselves if you think the troops favor Obama over McCain.

I am a vet, and I can tell you that Troops do not vote republican. They do not vote based on a current war either, they do not vote based on economic conditions back home (they aren't living through them, they are living something far worse).

They vote on what benefits they will see when they are NOT in the military any more. To be fair, In the past we have had presidents from both parties treat our veterans well. This election is overwhelmingly in favor of Obama as the one who respects the service of our men and women serving.

McCain has consistently voted to betray our veterans, remove their benefits, reduce the thanks we give them and deny them a happy life upon their return to the civilian life. He thinks it's "too generous' for our country to appropriately thank these men and women appropriately. Apparently in his mind, they don't deserve anything for what they do for us.

Is it a wonder the military is supporting Obama 6-to-1? I think not.

BRAVO! As they should have their vote-

MY HUSBAND AND ALL IN HIS BRIGADE IS VOTING AND SUPPORTING OBAMA!!! AND ACCORDING TO HIM OBAMA IS THE ONE THE SOLDIERS ARE ROUTING FOR!!!

Of coursr the troops support Obama. McCain means a return to the draft and a wish for more conflict and war. You can;t keep fighting 2 wars with the troops we have now. They are exhausted..some on fourth tour. You "if not hillary than mcccain" ppl better think carefully. I'm sure some of you have children. Vote McCain..your kids will look great in uniform until they come home in a box............THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was appalled to learn so very few of the votes of military personnel stationed overseas were counted in the past. That is shameful and inexcusable!

As a result, I think it's a very good idea to make sure votes from overseas American troops get appropriately counted, no matter who their candidates of choice may be. It's a non-partisan issue and the only fair and proper thing to do.

A message from Americas Troops.

More military people financially donated to Ron Paul's campaign for president than all Republican and Democract candidates combined.

That should tell you all something.

We had a chance to vote for the guy that is actually best for our country and you did not vote for him.
He has a better voting record of either candidate now going to be the President, way to go America

You did it again.

Hope your job wont get outsourced.

the ratio of donors from military personnel ,overseas ,is 6:1,obama over mccain.look it up.it's on obama's website and was reported by media today.stop calling me a liar.i'm not a republican.

Why isn't the news media not jumping on McCain's comment that countries don't invade countries in the 21st Century? So what did we do to Iraq???

The man who invented the electronic voting machine has testified in front of congress. He was asked if the voting machines could be manipulated and he stated under oath YES.

Congress ask if the manipulation could be detected, and he satated undear oath, absolutly NOT now way to detect it.

The machines have wireless access cards in them, so they can be manipulated from other locations wireless.

Your vote does not count.
Look on youtube and you will see him testifi

Are they suggesting that the members of the military are voting in fewer numbers? They "expect" well less than half to vote this year?

I have officially decided to vote for McCain. I was going to possibly vote for an independent, or third party candidate, or just not vote at all……but DAVID GERGEN has just convinced me to vote for McCain.

We need to make sure that the troops are getting correct info overseas;and that they (the troops) are not just getting spoon fed from the GOOG OLD BOYS CAMP (republicans)

It's gonna be a new day ! CHANGE is in the Air!

If you want real news you can get from the Huffington Post. CNN does not report that the deployed troops are donating to Obama 6:1

Obama needs all the votes he can muster up

Yes, make sure the troops votes are counted! They'll vote for a fellow veteran of war, not some inexperienced Socialist.

lets hope the mcbush and mcclinton do not steal those votes..

you never know with the clintons, and the mcbushes

dont trust th ese people, nor the pentagon

just vote and have someone there like an in ternational force count those votes, otherwise you know the old lady clinton will say they voted for her

Oh yeah this is a good idea, almost as good as putting that lying Hillary Clinton on the roll call. This will develop into a hugh mess just like those bitter whinning supporters of hillary's at the convention.

Obama I hope you have someone trustworthy watching you back, they are trying some trickery here.

Obama

the stupid puma or repug that's posting under my name is completely wrong on their point.

the democratic senate and congress is the ones that cares about our military personnel enough to look after their financial interests.

Mcwar voted against our brave young men and women interest this year and in past years.

Great! Knowing now that Obama's donations from active military on the frontlines outpaces McCain's 6:1, we'll all sleep better at night knowing that our fate won't be left to the likes of a mentally incompetent and emotionally unstable leader.

"The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Cochran said about McCain by phone. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."
Republican Senator Thad Cochran 02/27/08.

Any questions from the audience?

Crickets ... crickets ... crickets

So many different posters on the ticker use the same, identical word for word mcCain talking points. How much does he pay? I could spout some nonsense on here and donate the cash to Obama's campaign!

The families of the courages brave who have died in Iraq also cast a vote for them, they deserve it.

Over 90% of the Officer Corp and over 75% of the Enlisted in the Armed Forces are Republicans and they want to win in Iraq for their fallen comrades. They are going to vote for the candidate who wants to complete the mission of a free, self supporting, democratic Iraq, Not a cut and run that results in another Islamic Fundamentalist State like Iran. They remember their history and what the Post Viet Nam Era democrats did to the troops, equipment, and their support when welfare dependents were given more respect and treated as higher quality citizens than a Viet Nam Vet or anyone else who wore the uniform of this Great Nation!

Give soldiers the a chance to vote early so that the votes will come in through MAIL. NO fax or e-mail. NO voting machines. A paper trail is an indispensable part of the election process. Of course I also believe that at this point candidates should not be allowed ANY campaign contributions OR to use their own money. Just watch presidential debates (which moderaters need to regrow a SPINE for) and interviews of presidential candidates to get their views. We don't need commercials and phone calls to decide what view we prefer do we? The fact is that the campaign "contributions" candidates receive from special interests and big business aren't contributions at all, they are BRIBES. They are BUYING the candidates support (in the case of congress they are buying the candidates VOTE). Why do you think big business and pharmaceutical companies and credit card companies etc., have been getting away with what they have?? Because any government resistance to it is nothing but lip service, their vote has been bought and paid for... they just try to make it look good.

FYI The soldiers don't support Obama so overwhelmingly. It's not like either candidate isn't going to continue ruining the country where Bush left off.

It was Gore that tried to mess with the military vote last time. I am seeing an overwhelming majority of people siding with McCain as far as overseas military goes.

DEMWIT

Wrong – its the republican party that has a record of voting rights violations not the democrats – check your history and you'll know why we are in the fix we are now as a country.

The crimes the republicans have gotten away with in the past decade are so shameful and obvious it pains me that no one has gone to jail yet.

Hmmmm... I've been a Democrat for years – probably changing to Independent thanks to the DNC.

Voted against Dubya both times. We all know what a joke that was, particularly those of us in Florida.

Voted against Obama this time. This time the joke was from the DNC who rammed Obama down our throats along with Florida Republican government who did what they could to screw over their Democratic constituents.

Now Obama wants to give full votes to Florida and Michigan when he did not support it before – when it would have made a huge difference for Hillary and she would be the presumptive now.

I hope that our brave troops have every legal and legitmate opportunity to cast their votes for WHOEVER they want as POTUS. They deserve to have their voices heard as much if not more than those of us not fighting daily in Iraq. That said, personally feeling as if I have gotten the short end of the stick due to extremely questionable ethics on the part of those responsible for overseeing and facilitating elections in the country FOR YEARS – I am unconvinced that things will go as smoothly and honestly as one would hope.

Wow do I wish I felt otherwise.

Hello Buhler? Buhler? Buhler" – 6:1 votes for Obama vs. McCain.

Spin that one Right Wing Things, PUMA cow patties, McCan't Cacooners

I would hope that the DNC and Obama campaign are on top of this. They should lay out a specific plan on counting oversea's votes and make it public. Forcing the voting commission to watch every thing they do and make sure nothing "untoward" happens.

Yeah, but they are preventing Veterans in VA homes and wounded from being able to register to vote. Because, you know, those wounded in Iraq and older veterans might be planning on voting Democrat.

CNN,

Why is it that each time McCain's campaign critisizes Obama, you tend to agree and run the headlines as if they were true but when it comes from the Obama camp, you tend to pretend it is false and run headlines like this:
"New DNC web video 'TRIES' to link McCain to Abramoff scandal"
???????

Objective journalism?

I hope the Pentegon can be entrusted with that task,and not be partial to a candidate,like the media.

Mike – Texas Let's make sure that they ALL get counted this time!!!!
Oh and DR. YES You have your figures wrong.
Mike you are soooo Wrong !!Dr Yes is right

Want a nuclear exchange? Want World War III. Vote for an idiot who who'nt even be around to see the end. A vote for McCain is a vote to end it all!

What? Internet, emails and faxes? What they the powers that be doing to prevent fraud? This is asinine.

Not even for dogcatcher says: "their vote means more than anyone's whether they vote for Republicans or Democrats."

How exactly does that work? Do service people get 1.1 vote to my 1.0?

I will vote and do what ever Rush Limbaugh tells me to do because I cant think for myself or make sound judgements.

Does that include our frllow Georgians.?Their leader sure seems to be running much of American foreign policy.

Is the MSM going to cover the Georgia crisis the same way they did the lead up to war in Iraq or are they going to actually do some investigative reporting??

the reason Kerry lost is because not all votes were counted!!!
Count all votes

Obama 08

troops stationed overseas support obama 6 to 1 over mccain.
_______________
i doubt that. if that is the case then it tells me that our troops want to come home, that they no longer want to win the war, that they want to cut and run. those are the only people that would vote for obama in my opinion. a real soldier would get the job done before leaving and coming home. a real soldier would have honor in servig this country and not to whine about it. remember that THEY ALL knew what they were getting into when they signed up. they joined and with that came pride and honor and so i do not belive that they want obama as the cic and that they want to give up.

1) McCain has more likely voters in the Military.

2) Obama has received more MONEY than McCain from the military.

Some people have no grasp on facts.

#1 will win the election.

#2 can buy it, but will not win it.

Good news.

Our men and women in uniform and thier families deserve more than the lip service and pat on the back stagecraft provided by McCain.

Thier votes should be counted.

I just hope that they are actually aware of the voting record of McCain when it comes to enlisted benefits as well as veteran benefits that McCain has VOTED AGAINST on an almost consistent basis. He thinks that looking out for our veterans and their families is PORK.

Obama 08,12

Something about this doesn't smell right. Not much difference in not getting counted and not knowing whether they were properly counted or not

OBAMA/BIDEN.

Dr. Yes, you have lost your mind to think any portion of the military is for Obama over Mccain. You fail.

More proof that the democrats would have lost by even more in '04.

More proof that the democrats work illegally to suppress Republican votes.

I DON'T TRUST THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm suprised the government is allowing those it sends to die to have any say in the matter..

they want to intercept the miltary vote being that most of them support Obama

Washington is hoping that all the military personnel are going to vote McCain enblock, and maybe that will save the sinking ship of McCain. From what I am hearing, military votes are not a surety for McWar. They are totally disillusioned that this war is for the safety of the USA. They have started believing that maybe this war is for oil for the oil mafia.

Do not trust anything that this administration does. Obama is going to have clean house to get all the bad apples out. Bush did a number on the USA and the whole world. Need to clean house as fast as we can.

Dr. Yes,
I am curious to see where you get those numbers. I spent 7 years in the Navy from 1996-2003 and have a great deal of close friends still in the service, many of whom are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, among other places. Your claim is contrary to everything I have heard. Not to say that you are wrong, I'm just curious as to the source, or was this just your opinion? If so, how have you come to this opinion? Thanks.

Excellent. For too many years the overseas votes of our fighting men and women have been overlooked.

If anyone has the right to have their vote cast, it is a fighting man or women overseas in an armed conflict.

DR. YES,

In your dreams.

Yes, count the votes of those patriots and heros!

Obama '08

Dr. YES...

"A poll conducted late last year by the Military Times found that 57 percent of those surveyed consider themselves Republican, while 13 percent identified with the Democrats. Among the officer corps the numbers were different. Nearly 66 percent of officers considered themselves Republican compared with 9 percent Democratic. Nearly 30 percent of those surveyed by the Military Times declined to answer the questions or said they were independent."

Don't know where you got your numbers... Barry's website maybe?

McCain should retire and soon!.
He can say anything he wants, I am still voting for Obama.

THE PENTAGON CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO HANDLE THIS PROPERLY. PLEASE FAMILIES TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN IF YOU WANT YOUR LOVED ONES TO BE COUNTED FAIRLY!

OBAMA '08 / '12

Dr. YES...

Don't know where you got those numbers... would be interested to see them...

A poll conducted late last year by the Military Times found that 57 percent of those surveyed consider themselves Republican, while 13 percent identified with the Democrats.

Can they still have a regular ballot and mail it in? This sure sounds like a republican ploy!! The troops are not only supporting Obama 6 to 1 but they are sending him donations!!!! They want out too!!! Go Obama

I do not trust Pentagon they better not mess with our troops votes count , it they do we will know our troops support obama 6-1, just to give you heads up.

I would hope that all the troops get a chance to vote. It is important for all Americans to vote in every election our country has.

What I'd like to know is who will be overseeing this so that the Republicans can't commit the same type of voter fraud we saw in Ohio in 2004.

I trust these guys about as far as I could kick them. Look at what just happened with the FEC ruling! Big surprise that they found in favor of McCain...NOT!

I agree with Rob. I don't trust this system. But you cannot deny that most of the troops are for Obama. Most of those troops over there want to be home with their families. They want out too but they don't want to look unpatriotic for saying it.

Good! That many more votes for Obama!

I saw a pathetic comment that said I won't vote for Obama because he will raise taxes and help people on welfare. Oh yeah but you will support mccain who will raise your taxes anyway and spend them in Iraq to help the Iraqis. Sorry sir I fail to understand your comment.
Wouldn't it be more useful using tax dollars in the states than in a country that is abusing your help and doesn't want you there anymore? Some Americans are just pathetic they comment on things they don't know. Better to just stay home and not vote.

Troops over seas support obama highly over mccain our brave men and woman know mccain doesnt support them he only wants to use them for his senseless wars!! remember the veterans affairs gives mccain a D on voting records and obama a Bt so its plain to see they would support obama!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's make sure that they ALL get counted this time!!!!

Oh and DR. YES You have your figures wrong.

Earlier this year when Hillary was still in the race the numbers were more like;

McCain.....90%
Hillary..........6%
Obama........4%

But the major news networks said very little about it.

Add to that the fact that Obama would not shake hands with the majority of the troops while he was there and you'll find that even fewer will support him.

Everybody in the military understands where there pay raises come from.........Hint they are not friends of Pelosi. If you want the Clinton years in the military back (remember food stamps I do) vote for Obama not to mention he wants you put under the UN

I'm sure this is as fail-proof as the electronic voting machines.

Bush politicized everything in his administration including the judiciary system. I just hope he didn't do the same to the pentagon. If he did, how can we then trust they would not rig the election? How can we trust them with people's vote? I didn't say it would happen. I am just saying this based on what we already know Bush did to some of these supposedly independent govt department.

Well the Repugs know that if they say something often enough regardless of whether it is true or not people begin to believe it.

If Republicans get to keep office they will be keep doing what they did so well for the last 7-1/2 years because the American people will have given their approval by keeping them in office. Every Republican who has held office in the House and Senate for the last 7-1/2 years need to be voted out for rubber stamping everything Bush asked them to and for running this country into the ground and not questioning anything.

Let the vote fixing begin.

Great...as long as they get counted this year.... 6-1 active duty service men and women are for Sen Obama....................we shall see if they get counted.

troops stationed overseas support obama 6 to 1 over mccain.

hum–why do I not trust this. fax and e-mail–like nobody can change what their actual vote is. Who's stupid idea is this anyway.

I am going to be very interested in seeing how the military men and women vote. Let's see if they vote to WIN in Iraq or if they vote to come home to their families....

In 2000, Florida Democrats were all for throwing out thousands of military votes over postage. You see, the military doesn't use stamps, so it was an easy way to throw out thousands of Republican votes. It didn't matter whose votes, just as long as they were Republicans.., which 80% of the military is..

"Military members overseas and their family can use the ballot as long as they've previously requested a state ballot. If the state ballot comes after that, the voter can vote on that and return it as well. State offices have procedures to ensure the vote isn't counted twice."

Ha! That's funny, CNN. What do you think happened in Florida in 2000? So many votes were contested by the RNC that it's amazing Gore got any votes at all!

Reminds me of the "ballot box" that Al Gore set up for military ballots in 2000. I think the rest of us refer to it as a "dumpster."

Hmmmm I guess they are being paid to cheat for the GOP. We already know what happen to the other ballets that were majority marked democrat during the last election. Here we go again.

Who in the world would want to keep the votes of our brave volunteers from being counted!!??

Oh yeah..., Democrats!

The Democrats "aint" going to like this as they try to squash the military vote (such as Al Gore 2000, look it up it is a FACT) as the brave men and women who VOLUNTEER and PROUDLY serve tend to vote OVERWHELMINGLY REPUBLICAN.

When I served I was in charge of taking care of this on my ship to make sure that the votes were counted, their vote means more than anyone's whether they vote for Republicans or Democrats.

But we know who they in the majority vote for and LET'S NOT LET Obambi and company DENY THAT RIGHT.

Are the Iraqies allowed to Vote ? I guess, depends on the Supreme Court; Look at Florida in 2000, Ohio in 2004 !

Who do you trust and whats left in your wallet?

Okay, I have read a number of posts from military folks who insist that our veterans and men and women in uniform are in a better position to judge which candidate is better on defense and foreign policy issues. While I disagree somewhat with that, I find it interesting that today we have several news agencies reporting as to who our military is supporting with donations.

This, believe it or not, is from Fox News today:

"Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama’s presidential campaign as they have to McCain’s, the Center for Responsive Politics said."

Okay, spin this one, Preatorous, Ft. Myers!

"Interest is higher than previous elections, judging from participation in the primaries". Is that a surprise?

Let every voice be heard from the troops!

CNN- why haven't you reported that Senator Obama is receiving MORE donations from military personel serving overseas?

Despite the fact that he is running against a war hero?

Our brave men and women overseas are also looking for positive change in America, not more or the Republican same.

AND 90% OF THEIR VOTES WILL BE FOR OBAMA!!!

Obama by a Landslide! Thank you Troops!
