Dean says Palin "divisive;" troops support Obama 6 to 1
Columbia Tribune ^ | 9/7/08 | Jason Rosenbaum

Posted on 09/08/2008 7:18:42 AM PDT by Missouri gal

Howard Dean might have been ahead of his time when he ran for election in 2004... [Interviewer:] What is your take on Palin...? "I think she's a divisive person." [Interviewer:] When you said actual troops themselves are heavily in favor of Obama, how did you reach that conclusion? "I don’t think there have been many polls of the troops, but their donations are 6-to-1 in favor of Obama. And I think that’s because the Bush-McCain view of the military is treat them great when they’re over there and then forget about them when they come home. … And I think honestly, the Republicans don’t understand how to run the Army. They have to support the Army when they’re at home, not just when they’re abroad."

Ahead of his time? Do the military folks wish to comment?

To the left, “divisive” means anyone who is opposed to their relentless march to Marxism.

If someone like screaming Dean calls you “divisive” it is a high compliment, indeed.

Just to be on the safe side, the DNC is planning to challenge every overseas military ballot - as they did in Fl 2000 - to disallow as many as possible. Just in case.

I am not in the military, but I work in Sierra Vista Arizona where Fort Huachuca is. I am an Esthetician and a lot of my clientelle are in the Military and out of maybe 10 people 1 is for Obama. The military loves John McCain, he is one of thier own.

Dean is full of Sh*t

Is that the best you can do, Dean? Divisive? Yes she is, because she does not like liberals are crooked politicians and she has a track record of smacking them down.

That is Dean’s divisiveness.....

First of all, military people are not rich and are generally young people. Those two add up to very little donations to political parties and individuals. Therefore the numbers they use are so small as to be insignificant statistically.

Second, who cares how they give, when voting time comes, they will vote overwhelmingly for McCain/Palin.

OK Dean, I will believe this when the Democrats work hard to make sure EVERY military vote is counted.

I understand that Obama is going to New York City to see Bill Clinton ( Panic).

I think Howard Dean's days are numbered.

The Clinton's will be back in charge or the DNC after the Obama fiasco.

i would certainly check to see if someone is donating using the army names or telling them to donate and repaying them. You would not expect rank and file to be donating. Possibly the families of black army units might be.
