1. Bush doesn't give a flying f*** about our military

and those in the military who don't get it by now must be heavily brainwashed

3. That's not what the article says.

Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 10:33 PM by SW FL Dem

The article is a thinly-veiled attempt to link Dem attempts to keep Nader off the ballot in key states to a plot to prevent overseas military from voting. Please read the article, the first paragraph is below.

WASHINGTON - President Bush’s campaign legal counsel said Friday litigation threatens to prevent overseas service members from receiving their absentee ballots in time for them to be filled out, sent home, and counted.

4. There's at least 1,086 military folks who definitely WON'T vote for Bush

Most of 'em just kids. What a goddam waste.

5. Gee, according to NPR this morning

Bush has the Republican vote absolutely locked up, 8 to 1 or some such. Go to this link
http://www.npr.org/rundowns/rundown.php?prgDate=15-Oct-2004&prgId=3
and scroll down to "Military Times Poll Gives Bush the Edge" and see what you think.

6. Funny - the exact OPPOSITE was reported in Lou Dobbs

In which he showed all these numbers showing 65% support for bush amoung military families...

...of course, military familys is not quite the same as straight up military soldiers directly I guess..

7. Blaming Democrats for wanting Nader off the ballot.

It doesn't even touch the fact that not everyone in the military loves chimpy.
