The problem is with most......voting for him will cause the candidate they most don't want elected to become pres....at least the way I see it. Maybe it's different for others.
Funnier still - They're all leaning towards the Senator from Illinois.
Doubtful, he looks, acts and talks nothing like Reagan. He even said it himself, right? Military personnel overall will have nothing to do with a rookie flyweight empty suit who's closest associates are a nutcase racist preacher, weatherman professor who wanted to blow up the pentagon and one who would actually listen to Louie Farakook. You can bet the farm on that one.
I am seeing more and more of my military workmates leaning towards Obama, surprising me to be sure, since most were stalwart dittoheads, but these days they are tired.
"The report tracked donations of $200 or more. It found that 859 members of the military donated a total of $335,536 to Obama. McCain received $280,513 from 558 military donors.Among soldiers serving overseas at the time of their donations, 134 gave a total of $60,642 to Obama while 26 gave a total of $10,665 to McCain. That was less than the amount received by Republican Ron Paul, who collected $45,512 from 99 soldiers serving abroad, the report said."
Dumbo gets 92% of the black vote, that's a given they just can't help themselves. Those in the military pretty much reflects the population of the country. The 12 - 15% of blacks will donate considerably more because they have a dream and that's they're right. Shame, wasted money could have gone elsewhere. Oh well.
Blanket statements are never good. It's akin to saying Archer Bunker gets 92% of the bigoted evangelist (i.e. stupid corn pone white people) vote. It may sound witty and cool, but it lacks substance.
LOL and blacks are gonna vote for McCain over Obama.
Not going to happen.
It may be closer to even than normal but the military leans strongly red.
Only when you get up higher in the ranks. Rank and file have very diverse opinions. The Obama and Paul votes come from the hope that they will not be endlessly deployed forever in the War on Terror or whatever.
