Incredible! Amazing ! One in 760 Iowa Veterans Back Mrs. Clinton!
I just read the following "resistance is futile" HillShill post about how 316 veterans in Iowa have signed a paper saying they back Mrs. Clinton: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=post&forum=132&topic_id=3388913&mesg_id=3388913

With all of those names, it certainly looks impressive. But how significant is it really?

By my calculations, that represents about one of every 760 veterans living in Iowa. A whopping 0.13%. You could easily get more signatures on a petition to surrender the US to al Qaeda.

Sheesh!

1. very cool. I just posted about vets for Obama because of the shill hill post
They try to make it seem like everyone supports Hillary and so, if you don't you are just a fringie or something.
So, I countered to just let them know vets support all different candidates and not just shill hill.

4. Uh, this is what you're supposed to do.
Hillary supporters do not prevent supporters of other candidates from posting polls and endorsements.

8. Yeah the post about Hillary's vets was shilling, your post was just trying to be informative
:rofl:

I also notice you had no problem with this thread about Vets for Obama. Shocking how shallow your outrage is.

3. Well that settles it.
The other candidates should roll up shop and give her their campaign money.

6. Of course, you're assuming that the rest of them don't support her
which is a pretty silly thing to do, and makes your topic a bit pointless.

7. And I chat with a vet in Iowa that says the vets love Biden.
He has a history of fighting for the troops, and they know it.
