Is President Losing Troop Support?

Postby CHUQ on Fri Sep 14, 2007 4:03 am

The money is pouring in to the ones that are agsainst an extended stay in Iraq.


September 13, 2007 | Assessed favorably this week by the war's lead general, the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq appears to be causing a surge of another sort—and one that's not positive for President Bush or the Republican Party. Since the start of the Iraq war in 2003, members of the U.S. military have dramatically increased their political contributions to Democrats, marching sharply away from the party they've long supported. In the 2002 election cycle, the last full cycle before the war began, Democrats received a mere 23 percent of military members' contributions.* So far this year, 40 percent of military money has gone to Democrats for Congress and president, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Anti-war presidential candidates Barack Obama and Ron Paul are the top recipients of military money.

I see a few vets making their rounds on the news outlets. The truth about Iraq is bound to get out there if they put a few more in front of a camera to tell it like it is.
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

It's impossible to be an effective leader of a country when everyone thinks you are stupid.

But the media will cover the truth..They do not want people to tell it like it is.

What was old saying from "All The President's Men"? Follow the money! Troops are not allowed to be too verbal while on dduty, but they cannot be stopped from contrib to campaigns. They are letting their money talk for them right now.
