15 US armed forces "associations" (read: RW LOBBIESTS) vow to appeal a federal judges ruling permitting early voting in Ohio for ALL citizens, not just service members:

Military Groups To Appeal Ohio Early Voting Ruling | TPM LiveWire

Apparently, these groups think "special" voting privileges should be granted to soldiers. WTF??? I thought the US military fought for ALL of us to have the right to vote?

I know... these clowns aren't active duty soldier groups- they are LOBBIESTS FOR THE GOP, and this is yet another effort to promote likely GOP voters, and suppress likely Dem voters, in a key battleground state, while cynically putting a veneer of "patriotism" on the effort.

Patriotism- the last refuge of the scoundrel GOP. Romney omitted ANY reference to our troops in his RNC speech, that's how much HE cares. If he really gave a s@&$t, he and his five strapping boys would have enlisted.

And if the GOP really gave a s$&t about our troops, it wouldn't be the party of CHICKEN HAWKS!

That's just bizarre. I bet the judge will throw it out. Those groups weren't even involved in the original case.
