Sherm, you have yet to post one iota of evidence. Care to address Aaron's point that the military has historically voted for Republicans for president?

I guess you did not read the original post.

I guess you cannot read the word "historically." You've been saying it for years, Sherm, and you have never posted anything beside your own biased opinion.

According to CNN, among those voters who said they have served in the military, Bush beat Kerry 57% - 41%.

How veterans should be treated

http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2007/tst032607.htm

What might be most disturbing, however, is the treatment of veterans in the bill. Playing politics with the funding of critical veterans medical and other assistance by adding it onto a controversial bill to attract votes strikes me as highly inappropriate. Veterans’ funding should be included in a properly structured, comprehensive appropriations bill. Better still, veterans spending should be automatically funded and not subject to yearly politicking and nit-picking.

Neither did you Sherm. From the post YOU'RE quoting.

Despite McCain's status as a decorated veteran and a historically Republican bent among the military, members of the armed services overall -- whether stationed overseas or at home -- are also favoring Obama with their campaign contributions in 2008, by a $55,000 margin. Although 59 percent of federal contributions by military personnel has gone to Republicans this cycle, of money from the military to the presumed presidential nominees, 57 percent has gone to Obama.

Your own quote PROVES you WRONG Sherm.

Like you said, loving eyes never see!!!

Pa-Freaking-thetic.
