Veterans Give Romney Big Lead Over Obama

[joe bloe]

I thought this was appropriate for Memorial Day. It makes sense to me that we should give a lot consideration to the opinions of those willing to fight for freedom. In case you don't read the article, Romney leads Obama by 24 points among military veterans.

Romeny does very well with the wealthy how do not want their taxes raised to pay for the military. Those are strange bedfella's....

Why veterans are so strong in their preference for the Republican presidential candidate is not clear. Previous Gallup analysis has suggested that two processes may be at work. Men who serve in the military may become socialized into a more conservative orientation to politics as a result of their service. Additionally, men who in the last decades have chosen to enlist in the military may have a more Republican orientation to begin with.
Veterans' strong preference for Romney in this election occurs even though Romney himself is not a military veteran -- though Obama shares this nonveteran status. This will be the first election since World War II in which neither major-party candidate is a veteran.
Barring unforeseen developments such as the re-institution of the military draft, the proportion of the male population in this country that will have served in the armed forces will decrease in the years ahead as the older population dominated by veterans dies off. These data suggest that Democrats could get an overall boost from this demographic phenomenon

That's because their Commander and Chief has never once uttered the word "Victory".

Someone should check; has Obama ever called an American, killed in action a hero? Apparently MSNBC has qualms about using that word for our military casualties. The left is very clever when in comes to language. They know the power of words. They are reluctant to use words like victory and hero because of their contempt for America's military. The left is equally reluctant to use words like Islamist, Muslim, terrorist, evil and murderers in describing our enemies. Leftists went berserk when Reagan had the nerve to call The Soviet Union an "evil empire." The left would rather describe our enemy with nuetral words like, militants or foreign combatants. The left is diabolical.

How could he lose something he never had? Poor Joe is a living example that a mind is a terrible thing to waste!
