There are better avenues for people who don't want to be owned by corporate interests, taking a job at a corporate interest like Starbucks or Walmart is a better idea, at least you won't get your head blown off for some rich people to defend your wealth

On the flip side.... many Dems got into college because of Affirmative action.... cuts both ways

I hope you have a better reason to oppose affirmative action.

Could it be that Obama is wanting to cuddle the college graduates and their poor old loan problem while he neglects those who have actually done something to deserve some help. Maybe they remember the mocking of the military when he said that they should buy their own insurance for injuries received in combat since they are so patriotic. Some things people do are so outrageous they will never be forgotten.

The military stand in the gap protecting all of us so we can go about our daily lives hopefully in a safe manner. What should anyone need besides that to reach their goals and do for themselves. Both my children finished college with no debts hanging over their heads and they did it on their own with very little help from us. But they didn't party for four years.

Many college graduates have high debts because they are irresponsible. Maybe college should be cash only and then we would see who the responsible people are.

US veterans overwhelmingly support Mitt Romney over President Obama and are responsible for the former Massachusetts governor's advantage among men overall, according to a new analysis released Monday.

Romney leads Obama 58 percent to 34 percent among veterans, while Obama holds a four-percentage-point advantage over Romney among nonveterans, according to Gallup.
Let's see, get a bunch of mostly White Conservative guys together and who are they going to vote for?

There is really nothing to see here any different than if you polled a group males that was mostly White and Conservative.

Most of the Military is conservative, the poll is not suprising.

Just like Romney is. OTOH, Ron Paul... he isn't conservative enough for the republican party.

Your comment of, "Cowards come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, including long, lanky, and cinammon colored. He has no one fooled. The country sees right through Barack Obama." is any different? Completely void of anything but emotion, no data to back up anything you say and no real coherent point.

I'm not sure that I agree with the guy you're whining about, but he has a point that there is a sacrifice you make for taking a job in the miltiary, a potentially very big one.

Maybe because the military has a higher percentage of Republicans than the general population and once they leave the service they continue their voting patterns. But I can say this; this veteran doesn’t support Romney.

This is such a silly thread. Everyone knows Republicans are very pro-expansion of the government, especially when it comes to the military.

It's exactly the same as union members voting Democrat.
