RSSMany Americans Did Not Support Troops In November Elections
J.J. Jackson* | January 5, 2009 |
As much lip service as many Americans (usually the more liberal ones among us) give to the claim that they really do “support the troops,” time and again they actually don’t. For example, polls have readily shown that members of the American military supported John McCain over Barack Obama by wide margins. But liberals that claim to “support the troops” still voted for Obama anyway against the wishes of the soldiers they claim to support.
Now another report from NewsMax:
A recent survey conducted by The Military Times shows six out of 10 active-duty service members are uncertain or pessimistic about President-elect Barack Obama as the nation’s next commander in chief.
Respondents to the survey of more than 1,900 active-duty subscribers to Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times newspapers say much of the uncertainty lies in Obama’s lack of military service and experience in leadership abilities.
“Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief,” one lance corporal who asked not to be identified said in a follow up interview with The Times.
Ok … there is more:
A higher percentage of respondents say outgoing President George W. Bush has their best interests at heart over Obama. Nearly half described their political views as conservative or very conservative. Slightly more than half said they consider themselves Republicans, 22 percent independents and 13 percent Democrats.
Liberals support the troops? Nope. But they will continue to believe that they do!

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity. By posting a comment you agree to abide by the rules of this site.-
