I speak with them all of the time... I have not met one active duty person that does not hate obama’s guts.

Lets see............You sit down a group of soldiers with a reporter (soldiers have name tags on them) and ask them if they support the Commander in Chief and expect an honest answer?? Put them in a voting booth with total privacy and anonimity and see what the results are. This is why the Gay Marriage failed in California because it is too easy to be politically correct when polled but a completely different thing to go in a voting booth and pull a lever without consequences. The Stars and Stripes used to be a good newspaper but it too has been tainted by the powers that be and by both sides. I’ll bet that military ballots are going to be thrown out again this year because the current administration does not want to count them!!

I’m just outside of Ft Bragg, NC. I see lots of Obama bumper stickers on cars with other military related stickers and cars with the NC Retired license plates.

If Obama is pulling 90% of the black vote in the general populace why shouldn’t he also pull the majority of the black military vote.

A nice little slide show on Military demographics - a little dated from 2009.

That is why the military vote will be neutralized in November...

I don’t recall an election where this was not the media theme and speculation.

Why do you think the media never gives us the actual facts on the military vote AFTER each election, or introduces those PAST votes into these type stories, although they love doing these speculative, PRE-election stories always intended to create an impression that THIS time, those conservative GIs are turning against the GOP?

Not any that are thinking seriously. Let’s see, Afghanistan casualties under Obama are double that under Bush?
