To: Leftism is Mentally Deranged
They know that most military personnel will vote for honest, good candidates who love the USA. That leaves the democrats out.

Recall all the shenanigans in 2000 that were aimed at diminishing the military vote.

1. The Clinton administration would not sanction voting precincts on military property. You had to leave the base to vote.

2. Recognizing that Florida would be a battleground state, approximately 800 reserves in the state were called up a.) after the deadline for requesting an absentee ballot but b.) before election day. These reserves were shipped off to other states on make-work assignments.

3. Once the re-count began, the Democrats had lawyers in every county seat reviewing the ballots. They targeted military ballots for disqualification and successfully challenged many on what were totally specious grounds. Florida was actually under a federal consent order to honor military ballots without postmarks (as is the case with many overseas ballots). The County Clerks didn't necessarily know this. The Democrat attorneys knew better, but got the ballots disqualified anyway.

The left has worked tirelessly to guarantee convicted felons and prisoners the vote. And, at the same time, they have worked tirelessly to deny the military their vote.

There is a word for this kind of activity: Despicable.

If you’re a serviceman, how would you get your ballot mailed somewhere stateside, if you tell the clerk you’ll be on leave between Sept 20 and Nov 8?

I was living in FL in 2000. When I pointed out to a Dem I knew what they were doing to military ballots his response was “good, if it helps defeat Bush”.

Don’t kid yourself folks, the average Democrat is completely in favor of keeping the military from voting, or failing that, from having their votes counted.

This bunch at the DOJ makes Clinton’s people look honest.
