INDEF SUSPENSION, NEMESIS |
RE: http://www.military.com/features/0,15240,184467,00.html FURTHER INDICATION OF DEMOCRATS FRAUDULENT VOTING PRACTICES. THEY DON'T FEAR THE AFTERLIFE(or so they claim) AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THEIR PARADISE ON EARTH.

Obama is more likely to pull troops out of Iraq than McCain. Why would the troops want to vote for someone who would only extend the time the troops have to spend overseas?

I doubt very much whether the new President would want you to get your ballots late, or would any politician, Democrat or Republican. . "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - T. Jefferson |

First of all how many people are we talking about and more importantly what states are they from? The military overseas or othewise votes in there home state not "as a block"
Assuming that every last one of them would have voted for McCain and that is not likely, were the numbers from even one state involved enough to change the result in that one state? Considering the margin of states and more importantly electoral votes the president won by one state was not going to do it. I think he could have lost Florida, Virginia and Ohio and still had enough to win because he won Indiana and Iowa and Colorada all staes GWB needed to win in 04 To go further down the road of "not everyone was going to vote for McCain, A large % of the guys deployed these days are in the Army as we now the Army has a % of blacks that is higher than the country in general, general population is something like 16-17 % I don't know about these days but I now that in the 80's the numbers for the Army were low to mid 30's Now I am not going to suggest that all the black soldiers in the Army were or did "automatically" vote for the president or even in the 90-10 numbers that the general population did, but 60-40 maybe 70-30 would not be that far out. So that idea seriously calls into question the effect any of these supposedly late absentee ballots may have had, maybe the president would have just won by more. Ever think of that? |

Because the great majority of them are by nature people of action, not BS artists; like McCain, not like Obama. They generally volunteered to serve the nation, not to be Obama voter-like and ask, instead, what their country will do for or hand to them, unearned. They understand that what they have done in Iraq may be among the greatest of contributions to the long-term security of our nation and to freedom loving people throughout the Middle East who despise the excessive influence of violent, hateful types running their mouths off, justifying the killing of innocents to assuage their insecurities in the name of religion. And they know Obama mindlessly succumbed to the demands of his leftist Chi-town handlers and funders, who insisted as far back as 2002 that he adopt the blind, anti-Iraq stands he did, or pay the price. There is no comparing the sacrifices for good of honest American hero John McCain, on one hand, with neighborhood polytishun Barack Obama; military people understand sacrifice. Anybody who understands military people will know well what I state. |

Tens of thousands of military absentee ballots were involved nationally. Pretty significant when a number of races ran within hundreds of each other by the time recounts were done. Assorted surveys in 2008 showed more than 2 to 1 in favor of American military hero John McCain over polytishun lawyer Barack Obama. It remains highly probable that among many randomly selected military absentee ballots, about 70% would be for McCain and the right, vs. about 30% for Obama and the left. |

If all this was so important to you, you should have wrote to your voting precinct and requested your absentee ballot in enough time that would have got your absentee ballot and vote there on time, or gone to your voting officer and he would have got you a ballot. Sounds to me like it was you who screwed up and now you're trying to pass it of on someone else.

tsk . tsk . So bitter you are that your man lost convincingly, like by 8.5 million votes. Maybe if he wouldn't have chosen the gimmick Palin he wouldn't have lost as badly. "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - T. Jefferson |

If McCain had won we'd be hearing another 4 years of "He stole the election" whining. At least this way Heidi Klum and Seal didn't have to join Alec Baldwin in exile.

Most absentee voters do not request their ballots in a timely manner. They register in late September and wonder why they do not get their ballot. Then they mail it out the day of the election and wonder why it is late. |

Barack Hussain Obama is your Commander in Chief. I would strongly suggest you refer to him as "Sir, Mr. President. or Chief." "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - T. Jefferson |

When Bush2 was elected I heard all kinds of garbage about him being stupid, looked like a chimp, should be impeached, etc. One goofy broad even wrote a book called "The Short Political Life of a Shrub". You don't have to tell me about respect I went back in the military the day Reagan was inaugerated. I was so happy that idiot Carter was gone and he was the best Democrat since Truman.

Probably we believe what we are fighting for. That and troops on the ground aren't spoon fed everything they see overseas by biased media outlets. They are living it. |

So ETCPJ you are saying that it is OK that the military votes was not counted. You justify that by saying that most of the votes would have been for Obama because most of the military personnel are black and therefor they would have voted for Obama because he is black. Are you saying that because of skin color the black military men and women would not care about the issues and just vote for the skin color.
You sound pretty smug about lumping people into a certain group, thinking that they are not smart enough to think for themselfs. That they could care less about the issues. You mister ETCPJ are a racist |
