Why Democrats Disenfranchise The Military
Oct 28, 2008 Political
I wrote earlier about how the military (those members serving away from home) gets screwed during the elections when their votes are deliberately not counted. The men and women who defend this country and guarantee all the rest of us the right to vote and ensure we do it safely are routinely left out of the process. Earlier this year Barack Obama said that he would work to gain their trust and support. He wants them to know that he, with little leadership experience and no military experience, will be a better commander in chief than a decorated war hero like John McCain. Just ask Barack and he will tell you he is better qualified to lead our men and women in uniform.
The reason that Democrats work very hard to exclude the military vote is quite simple. Members of the military overwhelmingly support the Republican candidate. This video shows the results of a Military Times poll and the numbers are devastating for Obama.
This might explain why Fairfax Virginia is considering illegally suppressing the military vote. The Fairfax County Registrar (and possibly registrars in other localities) is rejecting Federal Write In Ballots that members of the military used if they were unable to get an absentee ballot. The FWAB is a safety net in case military members and their family members do not get absentee ballots but the registrar is placing restrictions on the ballots that violate federal law.
The ballots have not yet been rejected, they have been segregated while a decision is made. Seems to me that decision will be made when the regular ballots are counted. If the military vote could hurt their candidate then Democrats will fight to keep them from being counted. If the Democrat has a comfortable lead then the military vote will be graciously accepted.
This happens every election cycle and in places like Florida and Pennsylvania it is blatant and wrong. The members of the military deserve to have their votes counted and registrars should not be excluding them for bogus rules especially rules that violate federal law.
One nice thing is that a lot of these military folks are coming home and running for office. Many of them appeal to the people of their communities. With any luck, the Congress will be filled with genuine heroes who actually know how to accomplish something and are not afraid of working for a living.
Just look at Jack Murtha. He might get upset by Army Veteran William Russell.
Now that would be sweet.
Big Dog salute to Covertress.

Sarah Palin Is A Fighter
Oct 22, 2008 Political
Here is the latest ad from Our Country Deserves Better PAC. It is called Sarah’s a Fighter:
This is a comment one of the inclusive, diverse liberals left at the You Tube site:
Sarah Palin has 2 retarded kids right?
Well, one has down syndrome and the other one VOLUNTEERED to fight in Iraq.
How does she expect the country to get behind her when even God hates her?
How is this for pure hatred? She has two retarded kids, one with Down Syndrome and the other is a retard for joining the military to fight in Iraq. According to this (dare I say it) typical liberal twit, anyone who joins the military to defend this country is a retard. This is the attitude the left has toward our troops. This is what they think about the people who are infinitely better than they will ever be.
This is the kind of hatred I saw at all the moonbat protests in DC. This is the kind of hatred that people express when they damage property that has a McCain/Palin sign displayed. This is just pure intolerance and the person who said this is an ignorant jackass who should be severely beaten.
Then this twit is so ignorant that he suggests that Palin’s child has Down Syndrome because God hates her. No jackass, God hates you cretins who murder children in the womb. God hates you schmucks who murder the unborn and protest to save convicted murderers from the death penalty. God hates you maggots who protest the men and women of the armed forces who protect your right to say stupid things and God sure as hell hates idiots who make fun of the disabled.
If you get the urge to pick on retards start by selecting those in the Democratic Potty. Pick on Harry Reid and his boxing induced brain damage, Joe Biden and his aneurysm brain damage, Ted Kennedy and his brain cancer, and Nancy Pelosi and her Botox numbed brain.
And don’t forget to point to Barack Obama whose brain was fried by excessive use of drugs.
You want retards, look no farther than the liberals you give Lewinsky’s to.
Say what you want little twit but when you do, thank God that a member of the United States military stood guard over your freedom so that you could spew the stupidity.

Look For Troops To Be Disenfranchised
Oct 6, 2008 Political
The members of the military are overwhelmingly conservative and have been a solid Republican voting block for a very long time. The Republican party holds values that most in the military find in line with their own and the members cannot stand liberals who always wave the white flag of defeat. Liberals lost Vietnam and if they have their way they will lose Iraq.
I have been told by Obamabots that members of the military are donating more to him than to McCain. I think this is incorrect and it would be hard to demonstrate because Obama has some shady bookkeeping practices. He has a lot of small dollar donors who have given small amounts that add up to 3 or 4 times the legal limit. Obama has also received huge sums of money from people overseas who are NOT American citizens. So when he says that more people in the military have donated to him I would ask, which country’s military?
A recent poll shows that McCain holds a 68%-23% lead over Barack Obama in support of military members. McCain’s support among black members is down and given that many of them are experiencing a chance to vote for a black man, it is not surprising. Not all blacks in the military support Obama and many of those who do seem to be doing so based upon his color. There are those who don’t hold that view:
Army Sgt. 1st Class Derriel D. Collins, who is black, said he was influenced by McCain’s service record, though he acknowledges black friends question his decision.
“I’m not going to give [my vote] to you just because you’re black,” he said. “It doesn’t work like that.” Military Times
The huge amount of support McCain receives means that military votes will once again be targeted by liberals. In 2004 Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania disenfranchised a lot of military voters by disallowing their votes and in 2000 Al Gore worked to exclude the absentee ballots of our men and women serving around the world. These liberals are well aware that a close election could be decided by the absentee ballots of those who serve this country. Since the votes will overwhelmingly go to the Republican, those voters become enemies of the Democratic party. The liberals will do everything they can to keep the votes of our military from counting.
This, of course, is reprehensible. Who would have thought that the very people who protect our freedoms would be denied the rights they ensure others may practice? This should surprise no one because liberals hate the military and believe that money spent on defense would be better off spent on welfare moms who squirt out babies and refuse to work as well as ILLEGALS who break the law to enter this country and steal from the taxpayer.
The military should get a roster of all members who voted absentee and then send liaison officers to every state to ensure that the ballot was received and counted. Any person found disenfranchising those members should receive a mandatory 20 year jail sentence.
Who do you trust in this country, the party that wants to give convicted felons the right to vote, allow people to vote 3 or 4 times, and allow dead people to vote Chicago style, but works to deny military members the right to have their votes counted or the party that wants only those who are legally allowed to vote to do so? After all, Democrats are the party that opposes an ID requirement to vote. Why do you suppose that is?
In an earlier interview Obama said he had to earn the trust of the members of the military. I’d say he failed to do that by a 68-23 margin.
Perhaps our military does not like Obama because he associates with terrorists?

Will They Say McCain Staged this to Scare Us?
Aug 27, 2008 Political
Every time there is a major event and the threat level increases the Democrats claim that it is fear mongering. The Democrats make these claims because they know that America views them, and rightly so, as weak on national security. The believe that Republicans trump up threats in order to scare up votes.
Obama recently had the opportunity to show how he would handle the, dare I say it, 3 am call when Russia invaded Georgia. He gave three different responses form his Hawaiian vacation spot and each one was progressively sterner. He blew his chance to look like he had a clue and it is likely his poor performance led to his selection of Joe Biden as a running mate.
Now the Russian president is claiming that American missiles placed in ally countries close to Russia will elicit a military response. Russia is saying it will respond to us with military force because it does not like what we are doing in sovereign nations (with their blessings). The countries agreeing to missiles had been on the fence about them until Russia invaded Georgia. Then they decided they needed protection though the missiles will be there to deter threats from nations other than Russia (but could be used if Russia invades).
Russia is playing a dangerous game. They should think twice before they attack our interests or they might not like the response. The Russian president does not want a Tomahawk missile hitting his house.
Anyway, how long will it be before the Democrats claim that Bush and McCain manufactured the events in Georgia in order to scare Americans? How long will it be before they claim that the Russians are helping us by showing how weak Democrats are on defense? They have claimed crazier things.
Maybe if we are lucky we can get Obama to cut short his convention and go over to Russia and scream Hope and Change until they convert.
Berkeley Works For The Military
Aug 10, 2008 Political
It is well known that University of California at Berkeley is a bastion of liberal idiocy and that the people of that town and who attend that college, by and large, are anti American and have supported our enemies in this and in past wars. The people of Berkeley are so anti American that they have allowed anti war groups to protest a Marine recruiting station. Berkeley also has trouble with recruiters on the campus and the legislative body has passed resolutions calling the Marine recruiters uninvited and unwanted.
The Berkeley campus is full of liberal twits who oppose our military and its use. They want other Americans to stop supporting the troops and they want the country to stop spending money in Iraq. So why is it that this anti American, anti military college accepts money from the military to do research?
A news story today indicates that researchers at Berkeley are working on a process that will make things invisible by a process that involves bending light waves. While this is an interesting story the money shot is this paragraph:
Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, whose work is funded by the American military, have engineered materials that can control light’s direction of travel. The world’s two leading scientific journals, Science and Nature, are expected to report the results this week. [emphasis mine] Times Online UK
Now why is it that this college would accept money from the military for research? How could they possibly be taking money to do work that could be used to help our troops have an even bigger advantage on the battlefield?
Perhaps the holier than though college with so many high and mighty “enlightened” people is nothing more than a war profiteer. They are actually nothing more than what they claim Halliburton is and that is an entity that makes money off the backs of the military and off the government war machine.
Berkeley is nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites who claim to be morally superior to the rest of us for their opposition to the war but in reality they are war profiteers who will accept the military but only when there is money involved.
