#1 The military votes Republican. Anything to help them vote should be avoided.

#2 Except for those the MSM finds to quote in their 'news' articles, Grom.

#3 And the worst thing is, they are fighting and dying so that people (here and there) can vote.

#4 But the U.S. military that has so perfected the art of war over the past half-century is at a loss to enable soldiers to vote.

Bull@hit. The US military has THOUSANDS of people every election year who work their backsides off to insure the troops know when and how to vote (Believe me - it's a metric, and the Higher-ups DO keep track of this stuff.) It's the party-controlled voting agencies back home that do everything in their power to keep the people who defend freedom from enjoying it.

#5 That party is just plain evil. EVIL.
Democrats will do anything but the right thing.
It is a party of sell outs and liars. There is nothing more racist, sexist, arrogant, two faced, hysterical, stupid, ignorant, or empty than a democrat in this time.

I think I will drift away from the US now. None of youse are making any sense at all anymore.

That criminal media empire and their coffers are setting up the downfall.

Such a shame to lose the only sane nation on the planet. hmm, what to do?

hmmmmmmm.

#6 Here's a potential solution.

Get the groups that send care packages to the troops to enclose absentee ballots to the units from specific states. That is what I will work on here in New York and I will press for our other state coordinators to do the same in their states. If we make up some generic stamps which can be filled in by the troops with Date, APO# and location that should bypass the postmark problem in years past. After that it is just a matter of the mail getting back to the US in time.

#7 If you think the Democrats give a bloody damn about the soldier vote, take a hard look at the length of time Obama spent on the ground and with troops in theater. And to top it off, he "Agrees to Disagree" with General Petreaus. Believe me, he knows the deal.

#8 IIRC, the Dems made a targeted effort in 2000 in Florida to challenge military adsentee ballots. The ballots were inspected for any minute blemishes or marks on the ballots and then some high priced lawyers would argue that this was a "spoiled ballot" that shouldn't be counted.

Mayor Daly of Chicago was in charge of the effort.

#9 They don't give a shit about people who may vote republican. They're too busy trying to get convicted felons the right to vote from prison.

#10 Unit Voting Officer. Been there, seen it, done it. You can't make them vote, but you can certainly make sure there's nothing on the DoD side that stopping the servicemember and that he/she has all the materials and gets what they need. Ask Mr. Gore about actions at the local level to obstruct it.

#11 The dems would do well to remember that members of the military are not their personal guards or slaves.

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
