Well i had a great day at work :)
we are very shorthanded in my department since the part time cake decorator quit friday... so we get this new girl in there.. she looks VERY young.. and she mentioned her boyfriend just got back from Iraq...
( i was thinking to myself 'great here it comes') so i asked her if her boyfriend was going to go back to Iraq.. she said "well thats not up to him its up to my boyfriend" ... i was like "ugh.. im fixin' to get the 'oh bush knows best' speech.... but then she said...
"god willing we get a new prez. one that the military can look up too again"
i was like WOOHOO!!!
she said that her boyfriend who was in iraq HATED bush and that 85% of the guys he faught with did too...
they think he is a coward and an idiot!
i was so thrilled.. first that such a young (20) girl was so into politics she really knew her stuff, but that she said that such a high % of the military they knew disliked bush!
woohoo!
just thought i would share! :)

5. And hopefully their votes will be delivered.
I do not put any sort of cheating past this administration.

3. I can see why soldiers hate chimp...
...the administration can't even get forces in Iraq enough bullets! And their humvees are not properly armored. The Bush cartel couldn't give a shit about the troops, just the oil.

13. mzmolly... I agree.... I would bet a dollar to a donut... that the repugs
once they find out the percentage against chimp... will do everything in possible to deny their vote..... unlike in 2000.

8. I got that too from most of the mothers of soldiers at my former
job. The soldiers truly deeply hate bush.

9. It's always good to hear that US soldiers are still capable of free...
...thought.

Matter of fact I found out this weekend that a friend's brother is simply not going going back. He'd rather go to prison than be a BushCo pawn.

10. Interesting how most of the current active duty troopies hate Bush, yet...
we're expected to believe that most Viet Nam vets hate Kerry and support Bush. Am I missing something here? Or is this one more ball that the "liberal media" has dropped?

11. Great story
i was watching cnn this afternoon and saw a segment on Inside Politics with a reporter from Nevada or Arizona (sorry I always have trouble telling them apart :-) ) The CNN anchor asked the local reporter about the military vote, the reporter replied that she suspected that the vote was leaning Bush but that from the stories she is hearing and the people she is talking to that support is very soft. Which to me means that she expects that vote to go Bush but that every vet or military person she talks to is voting Kerry.
