Huge disconnect between military and Republicans
Things that make you go hmmmm...
While it has proven numerous times of the fact that the Republican party indeed DOES consist of a majority of white Christians.
This reflects in the nationwide number of elected Republicans.
Why doesn't it reflect in the military numbers? I know there are huge amounts of minorities in the military.
Okay...now follow this. If the majority of minorities vote Democrat, and the majority of the lower level military are minorities, then it seems that the Democrats are represented just fine in the military.
Where are all those white Christian kids?
Ohhhh wait...bipartisanship only counts when it affects them.:eyes:

1. And you did notice Bush did not brag about the large military
vote for him in 2004.... IMHO he probably still got a majority but not by much....

2. Those in the military who voted for W in 2004 are getting the CinC they
so richly deserve.

5. Problem is the Air Force and Navy are more pro Bush than the Army and
Marines.

Very few Air Force have died in Iraq, and probably only a handful of Navy.

6. Their recruitment numbers would be healthy if we were still drinking
the cool aid on Iraq. It's easy to tell a pollster you're pro war, pro bush and pro Iraq, but you don't send your son over there to die.

All the signs are the game is over, and now we have to try to convince reuglican house and senate members to re-tool and retreat.
