Military donations favor Obama

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, a nonpartisan group reported Thursday.

Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama's presidential campaign as they have to McCain's

Support our troops, vote for Obama!

Are our soldiers' campaign contributions a referendum on the current Commander in Chief? Or a recognition that Iraq has been a costly and tragic sideshow, when the real terrorists are in Afgrhanistan and Pakistan?

A little misleading since it includes only 1417 donors out of 2.5 MILLION soldiers....and those are only the ones giving over $200. The military votes are expected to be over 75% for Mccain. But what can you expect for another left wing rag like USA Today.

USAToday is not an impartial organization

they are a media arm of the democrat/AlQueda party

so you can't trust their "reporting"

second, that is not a complete list of all personnel in uniform in the US

but I do betcha that "the" miliatry has given more support to 0bama

the problem it is "the" military of Al Queda, not America

that is his base of support

look at the tens of millions, to hundreds of millions in donations he has gotten from foreign sources

and they will want "payback" if he gets into the WHITE House

how soon until he waves the white flag of surrender, like Europe ?

question is, what version of Arabic are we going to have to learn

Sunni or Shiite ?
