In case you have been living in a cave, your link refers to a disingenuous use of data to make it look like all donations were from the Military.

It is common knowledge that the donations were a mixture of military and civilian contractors.

You Paultards keep trying though.

Yes because Civilian Contractors who make their living through the War would send donations to the guy who wants to end their source of $$$. That makes sense.

But please supply souces and if documentable I will retract. FReegards...

Also, you are correct I apologize I did use an outdated link those were the numbers for Q2 2007 ...

Here is the one for Q3 2007 - http://tinyurl.com/349olk (RP still in the lead double the $$ of Q2)

Please note this is how these numbers were determined -

“This list uses donators who listed their employer as some variation of Air Force, Army, National Guard, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Retired Vet, Veteran, Civilian Military employee, or Military (no branch indicated).”

To be fair, you are correct in your assertion, that this list may also include Civilian Military Contractors.

But even if it did, as long as the same criteria for determining donations was used amongst all canidates that it would still be a fair representation ...

also again even if it did include the Civilian Contractors ... would it make sense for them of all people to support the “anti-war” candidate? I means don’t their paychecks depend on military contracts ...

Thanks
