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."

Most people in the military have very little cash to spare for political donations. If there is ANY basis for Dean’s claim that Obama is getting 6 times more donations from the military than McCain—and of course it could just be an outright lie—then you have to wonder if the DNC isn’t using some kind of “bundler” to give Obama pretend donations from the troops, kind of like hillary’s Chinese dishwashers or Gore’s Buddhists.

I suspect that the Obama campaign is laundering hundreds of millions of dollars, and the FEC is broke, so no one is in a position to investigate it. And of course the media would NEVER raise any questions about it.

Where is Obama getting all these floods of money? Not from the little guys, I don’t think. In recent times, the Democrats have gotten far less money than the Republicans from the little guys. I think it’s laundered, and that probably some of it comes from the Saudis and the Gulf State Arabs, and maybe some of it from Putin, as well as the usual suspects like George Soros.

From what i have seen on our little base here is Oklahoma i would say that at least 90% pro Mccain/PALIN 5% no clue and the last 5% typical KOOLAID drinker because of COLOR.

I am a retired sailor. I know MANY, MANY other sailors, retired, Reserve, and active duty. Trust me. The loathing of Obama is deep and wide. The Left is funding some servicepeople to then donate to Obama (a violation of election law). This what the Left does: cheats and lies.

“What color is the sky on the planet that Dean is from?”

Same as Helen Keller’s favorite color. Corduroy.

I actually found it funny when I saw nobody supported Obama. Hell this small of a base is such a close knit community that a dem would have stuck out like a sore thumb, and promptly tarred, feathered, and run off base.

Since the Dems and liberal media (same thing) all agree that Sarah is unimportant and from the sewer level, they should all be celebrating McCain’s choice.

The DIMs are basing this ‘military prefer Barry’ BS solely based on a single poll from several months ago that showed Barry receiving 6x times more donations than McCain. That’s no different than when Barry was receiving more donations than McCain from the general electorate. If ‘support’ was based on donation ratios, then Barry would have been up over McCain 70%-30% for the last couple months. But that’s not what has been happening, so I don’t believe that the majority of the military supports Barry. I’ve talked with all my military buddies and veterans, and not a single one likes him.
