I work for the Navy and most of them like to vote republican (the ones I work with and they aren't low on the totem pole) simply because they know that DoD gets more funding from republican's then the democrat's.

When we received our absentee ballots last month, of about 100 soldiers in my company, maybe five voted democrat. And in the 12 years that I have been in the military, over 80% of those I served with were republican. And a lot of us are not poor. There are a lot of soldiers these days who come from middle class or even upper class families who chose to serve because of patriotism. Yeah the lure of money for enlisting as well as money for college makes the military an attractive option, but overall a lot of the soldiers that I talk to joined for patriotic reasons. > > > I thought it was that the republicans have no qualms about putting others > lives on the line, especially if they are poor and don't vote republican. > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:275349 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
