The military has voted republican ALWAYS...BUT...NOW, the demographic is CHANGING!
The center said that by the end of August 2008, Obama had received more money from military donors with overseas addresses --$74,650 compared with $16,600 for McCain -- as well as from employees of the uniformed branches:$340,400 compared with $321,500.
It is a factor that seemed clear Wednesday in east Baghdad, where six of seven soldiers at a base interviewed at random said they backed Obama.
OUCH!
The tides are turing...a YOUNGER, more educated military will accomplish the switch before long:)
MOSTLY, if the military dislikes Obama, then why are they supporting HIMN more than any other democrat before?

Ron Paul's campaign has hit a gold mine of support — active-duty military.

Paul's 2012 campaign says their team's received more campaign donations from active-duty military than all of the other presidential candidates, including Barack Obama, combined.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Current and former service members staged a rally outside the White House today in support of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Several hundred troops and their supporters attended the event. The veterans were men and women, young and old, some in uniform and some in plain clothes.

Ron Paul shares an unusually high percentage of supporters in the military compared to the other candidates and it shows in his campaign funding. The Center for Responsible Politics reports the candidate touted more than $95,000 between September 2011 and January in individual donations from current and former members of the military, higher than any other candidate. Obama comes in second at roughly $72,000.

Paul raised $150,000 in the fourth quarter alone from active-duty military.

<quoted text>What a ridiculous claim. Every citizen of Switzerland owns a gun, and yet they have the lowest crime rate and have yet to 'shoot themselves dead'. And they have managed to 'leave the rest of the world in peace'. hummm.... makes you think about it more doesn't it?? Ever wonder why Hitler never wanted to invade them like he did the rest? Let me clue you in, its because every citizen was armed. Are you willing to be left defenseless while power hungry mongrels like Hitler invade YOUR home? If guns were banned in the US then you might as well stamp 'victim here' on every forehead. Are you willing to kill than be killed? Are you willing to protect your family? How do you expect to protect yourself and those you love with out a gun when every criminal out there has one?

A whole 6 out of 7 seven soldiers, huh?? And in Baghdad no less. LMAO! I thought you said we didn't have anymore soldiers in Iraq. WTF?
And as much as you try to spin this, the increase in support of the military for the Democrat, slim as it may be, is irrelevant. Because as YOUR LINK also stated, that even with an increase in Democrat support, the majority of the military still votes Republican.

And he did it too, pretty darned close to the date President Bush agreed it should be done; BACK IN NOVEMBER 17, 2008!

Yeah, Just ANOTHER Case Of Someone Else Doing Something and President Obama Trying To Take Credit For It, in my opinion ~
Fortunately some of us don't wear blinders, ignore the facts, or blindly follow the leader like good little "O"-sheeple.
The Plan was called the: "Agreement Between the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq On the Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and the Organization of Their Activities during Their Temporary Presence in Iraq".
And as I said was SIGNED; November 17, 2008.

I have been you ranting and raving for pages now and have been attempting to ignore most of your posts but I do have a question that just screams to be answered: Where the hell do you get your information BUNNY -
From the voices in your head?
You often make statements and claims that are completely false, seem to cherry pick your facts with the greatest of care, and never or rarely offer any type of supportive evidence or reference for most of your claims you make.
Sorry I just couldn't ignore these things any longer… I had to have a rant of my own.
‘But I feel much better now’~

The only one 'coming around' is yourself!
QUESTION: What is the very essence of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY?
Answer: SELF-DETERMINATION, or more directly: FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
You would seek to deprive everyone of that choice by way of YOUR political bent.
