I guess it only counts for something when Democratic votes are taken away, majority of military are going to vote Republican. You can bet your ass that if the Military voted largely democratic you would hear screaming till the rafters would fall down at the capital about how something needs to be done.

True if it were the polar bears not getting to vote they’d be blaming it on Bush and immediately calling for polar bear voting rights. Fucking Dems. At least they know that most of the military won’t vote the way they want….and they want to keep them from voting.

This is the ultimate insult. They know what your vote will be and they do it every time.

Murtha attacks and is a liar, Harry Reid attacks and is a liar, Durbin attacks and he is a liar, etc, etc, etc,

Who do you think gave the order to the media to say out of Iraq and not report your victory.

Same people, those traitorous Democrats.

As a Sqrunt with 3 tours in the last 5 years, IMO it is appathy of the individual more so then the system itself. I can only speak based on my experience with the Navy and Marine Corps, which is that each command has a voting assistance officer that is pretty aggressive in educating and notifying personnel of their rights and options. It seems more of a lack of effort on the part of the individual to exercise their rights then a lack of opportunity. Again just my opinion based off my experiences voting while Overseas.

Of course the Dem’s are quiet on this issue, especially after Gore tried to block the absentee military vote in flordia for the 2000 election.

The Dems love having Muslim backed voter registration drives where most of the registrants are disqualified due fake info, but hate it when the military votes. This must mean that the guys “in the shit” are not allowed a voice!

If the minority Republicans can push Reid and Pelosi(if this works)then push them into a corner to get any legislation passed to make sure before any vote is cast on US soil that all military votes are counted.
Senate Republicans have threatened to block nearly all other bills pending before the August recess if Democrats refuse to vote with them on expanding offshore drilling.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said bills that do not pertain to energy can wait until after the August recess, with gas prices now surpassing $4 per gallon. McConnell and top Republicans indicated Wednesday they would oppose any procedural votes to take up other legislation, which require 60 votes to succeed. …

i think on either side it is lip service. with roughly 3m active and reservist in the US today, politicians are going to spend more time w/illegals, larger market for them to peddle to.

most military guys i know are very self motivated, just want a politician wants.
