3. No doubt they would still vote republican
I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary. s'ome family members are disgruntled but here in Gerogia where units are extended and someone stationed here dies in Iraq every week, they are still big time repugs.

4. Dude! We are not repugs!
A ton of us are totally disgusted and wanted to oust George Bush last time 'round, but it's just hard for us to be very vocal, cause as spouses, we know that we can get our hubby's into trouble and our hubby's have to be careful about what they say too, but the buzz underground is get us a Democrat for President. Now, I will tell you this though, a lot of us in the military myself included really, really want Joe Biden for President. The Biden plan has been making its way in the form of email to army inboxes everywhere. He got the email from another medic, who got it from another Army buddy. It's what got my husband's attention and then he turned me onto Biden when I had been leaning Obama or Edwards. I was just telling someone else on here too that my husband just let me know that his Unit is getting some MRAP's because of Biden. I'll feel a lot safer knowing that when he has to travel, at least he'll be in one of those.

5. Here is a heartbreaking
testimony from a kid in Iowa, who's friend won't be coming home, at all. I am posting this because of some really insulting comments above;

6. Your post reminded me of this -- give a listen.

Those who are most affected by this administration's filthy actions won't have a voice tomorrow.
