Landslide Victory for McCain!
Pajamas Media ^ | October 26 | Greyhawk

Surprise — at least one poll shows a huge McCain lead: “[Senator John] McCain, R-Ariz., handily defeated Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., 68 percent to 23 percent in a voluntary survey of 4,293 active-duty, National Guard, and reserve subscribers and former subscribers to Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, and Air Force Times.” Or perhaps not so surprising: there’s a history involved here.

In 1864 the nation was nearing the end of the Civil War — but some wanted it ended sooner than others. Democrats offered a platform declaring that it was “the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which . . . the Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, . . . justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities.” In short: end the war now...

They are tossing military votes in Fairfax (NVA) county VA over a technicality.

I read that in an AZConservative article as a satire.

You mean they really are doing that???

Yeah, but military votes don't count.
... or, at least, they don't get counted.

Mccain is crushing Obama again in another AOL straw poll. Mccain has 31,000 votes to Obama’s 12,000 and Mccain is winning every state but Washington DC. I trust this poll more then all the others because it includes over 200,000 people and there isn't some liberal manipulating it behind the scenes.

Pretty consistent except for one pie there. Wonder what issue they are most interested in Obama for?

Well, Obama so called Civilian defence force. Nobody in the MSM mentions this. He builds a SS style unit from policallly reliable people , both civilian and ex Military.
That should scare the crap out of everybody

This is rather spooky. Hitler had the SA in the late twenties and early thirties.He had to wipe out the SA leadership in about 1934. This Hussein-O and/or his advisors may be afraid of precipitating military intervention once their policies become understood. Watch for some of the current military leadership to have “accidents,” or to “die gloriously in battle,” etc.

I also heard that a whole mailbag full of military votes was simply “lost”.
