MILITARY VETERANS PICK ROMNEY OVER OBAMA, 59-35

Ben Shapiro

.......

Romney’s larger lead is a sign that veterans are dissatisfied with Obama, rather than pleased particularly with Romney – Romney, after all, was not a military man while McCain famously was. The poll did not ask military vets about their feelings on the end of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Despite Obama’s attempts to pander to veterans by offering them larger benefits and suggesting that we build a country “worthy” of our returning vets, America’s military men and women continue to prefer hawkish foreign policy and fiscal responsibility to appeasement-oriented foreign policy and heavy spending....

I’d like to see the demographic breakdown. I’m guessing blacks, homos, and women skew it towards Obama.

Clearly we have a 35% problem.

I’d like to see the numbers for combat veterans only.

Too many REMFs in the demo is my guess.

I can’t say much since I had a cushy job even by USAF standards. I have always voted (R) though.

Good news & bad news...

Bad news is that there are 35% who will be will be killing the Constitution-loving Americans when the snake-king gives the word shortly after his inauguration.

Good news is....is.....is....

Hmmm! How can a poll showing that only 59% of our veterans are still America-loving Americans contain any "good" news?

As smoothsailing pointed out, the combat vets are probably way more against Obama. I don’t care what some admin woman thinks. What percentage do you think USMC infantry think highly of Obama?

I know and have spoken to many African-American military members (both active duty, retired, guard, and reserve).

They pretty much follow the Obama line to the the tune of about 90%. It isn't much better than the 96% of the general population of African-Americans who slavishly devote themselves to the cult of the false messiah.

There are some "Lt Col West" members of the military in the minority ranks, but not as many as you would hope.

Blacks make up bigger percentage of military than general population.

The military is now half gays and/or females?

God bless those loyal to God and the Church.

What a shame, military service affords them a golden oppotunity to escape the dem plantation.

Pentagon says: 26% Army, 18.5% Navy

I look askance at Romney because he never served when there was opportunity to do so. However, there is even more to dislike about Obama even though he has perfunctory experience as CinC. I am very surprised the liking for Obama is at 35%. Of course with more homos popping out and the number of service people of color, physical and psychological, it might be expected to be at 35%. I can only hope that some of the 35% persons will come to realize that Obama really doesn’t share their declared dedication to the Constitution for an exceptional Nation and without doubt not battle courage to keep such.
