In the words of James Carville, “It’s the economy stupid.”
It is not military issues that concerns the men and women serving in our military most but the economy.
Forty-eight percent those serving in the military that support Mitt Romney are more concerned with the economy compared to 23% of those in the military who support Barack Obama. A compilation of both groups indicated that 41% of those serving in the military feel that the economy is the most important issue today.
The candidate’s character ranked second.

What baffles me is how ANY military could support Obama. Yes, I know a few of them too, but I just can’t comprehend it.

My son retired after twenty years in the military. I suspect there are many who are having that option snatched from them who are not very happy about it.

Too bad that many perhaps will be denied the opportunity to vote. No big surprise, the Chicago way.

Go to Allen (or Alan?) West’s site. There is a way for the Military to vote. I’m sorry, I cannot remember the name of the site.
Look in his archives.
This is one of his articles…just look in the “search” area and type in “Military Vote.”
