Military vote for bush

[malletgirl02]

along with saying that Iraq is going great, and totally belittling the deaths of soliders fighting in Iraq, by saying that the causties are that bad , by saying more people are murdered in large cities than troops killed in Iraq this rabid republican kid in my class claimed that troops went for bush 3 to 1, I know that more troops voted got bush than Kerry, but the the 3 to one thing sounds way to high. his gloating pissed me off so much.

1. they are not even counted yet.

he's full o' shite

[bullimiami]

2. as far as i know. they didnt count a lot of militaty ballots.

didnt, havent, and the bushies were telling them not to count them.

because they will go to bush 3;1? i dont think so.

it would be embarassing to expose that it is just propaganda and the troops do not support this giggling murderous liar.

3. Don't forget the repub that said this:

"The story of what we've done in the postwar period is remarkable. ... It is a better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day." George Nethercutt (R-WA)

I think the 3 to 1 seems off, too. Living on a military post, I saw a lot of Kerry stickers and heard a lot of anti-Bush talk. Maybe 2.5 to 1. Hehehehehe

4. navy brother...

voted for Kerry.

[fearnobush]

5. Everyone I know in Iraq and on the way and still here on base voted Kerry.

I'd say its more like 50 50. Yes I'm from a Blue coastal state, but everyone I know, at least 10, thats alot of Kerry.

6. I call that as BS

I was on the phone today with an Army MP relaying information about what was going on. He is stationed in Germany heading to Afghanistan soon. As I told him of voter fraud and the horrors of the election here I heard all the people in his room cheering as he was relaying. They don't support this Administration blindly. I have to go for closer to a 60-40 or even 50-50 split. Not that we'll ever know for sure.

7. If the "troops" support Bush that much, than more power to them. But

don't expect me to shed a tear over the wounded, maimed and dead. I will feel more sympathy for the wounded, maimed and dead innocents of Iraq. If these guys like war and fighting it, then Bush is their kinda guy for sure. Go play your little video war games, you losers.

10. Read the thread, please.

There's no evidence the military have voted for Bush.

[Ruffhowse]

11. I'm saying those who have, will get just what they deserve.

[Blaq Dem]

8. "Emailed" Ballots????

Some had to either fax or email their ballots. Not a very trustworthy procedure.

[ComerPerro]

9. Maybe he should be one of those troops

[daa]

12. As the Falluja GI deaths approcah VIet Nam levels

this is what the "People" voted for. I know I fell a lot safer the more Muslims the Christian right kills. Too bad, like Viet Nam, they fight to defend their country.

13. I don't know about the true stats but

I would expect there was more than a few youngsters who had it drilled into their skulls that to not vote for Shit-for-Brains was unpatriotic and maybe even treasonous. They probably felt they had no choice.

[Rush1184]

14. I kinda belive it

Everyone I know who is currently in the millitary voted for bush because they did not want to lose their jobs due to supposed kerry military cut-backs. Also, people I know from my old military academy, minus the teachers and a few of the more open-minded students, supported bush as well. Then again, they were all upper-class minded people, voteing with there parents money in mind, and saying it was because of abortion.

15. Hi to the uninformed

"Everyone I know who is currently in the millitary voted for bush because they did not want to lose their jobs due to supposed kerry military cut-backs"


You didden't happen to catch all those times in the debates and speaches where Kerry stated he was going to ADD 40 THOUSAND people to the military. posting cluless republican talking points is not a good way to get started here...

[BillZBubb]

16. Lighten up, dude!

He put "supposed" in his message to convey exactly what you are talking about. I certainly did read it as a Repug talking point--only that many in the military BOUGHT the Repug talking point which I fear is correct.

[Rush1184]

17. I was saying what they were saying...

I know (and told them) it is bullshit, and that kery was better for them. They just took the koolaid first.
