Who Do The Troops Support?

Postby CHUQ on Fri Oct 19, 2007 4:08 am

You will be surproised, maybe not!


WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, the congressman from the Houston area who opposes the Iraq war, has gotten more contributions than any other White House contender from donors identified as affiliated with the military.

According to a Houston Chronicle analysis of campaign records from January through September, Paul received $63,440 in donations from current military employees and several retired military personnel.

Democrat Barack Obama, another war critic, was second in military giving. The Illinois senator got $53,968 during the nine months.

Well, I like Paul but I doubt he will get the nod. For one the media doesn't give him equal air time. That's the biggest hurdle I see to his campaign.

We will not have long to wait, it is about 11 weeks til the first primary. His support among troops is amazing and it could translate into more votes. His campaign is looking a bit better than 2 months ago.

I'm getting tired of trying to figure the whole field out. I'll be glad to see a one on one battle.

Tumble, your wish is coming true--Brownback is out, and analysts are predicting that Tancredo and Hunter will be soon.

I thought both parties had to many candidates and to make it worse this is the longest campaign on record. Just too much of everything for me. It actually cause me to tune most of them out.
