Soldiers Backing Anti-war Candidates (Ron Paul, Obama)

Looks like soldiers are backing the strongest anti-war candidates:

In the 4th quarter of 2007, individuals in the Army, Navy and Air Force made those branches of the armed services the No. 13, No. 18 and No. 21, contributing industries, respectively. War opponent Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, received the most from donors in the military, collecting at least $212,000 from them. Another war opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, was second with about $94,000.

...Soldiers love Ron and Barack, and lobbyists love Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, the No. 1 recipient of lobbyist cash, receiving $823,000 in 2007 from the lobbying industry, which gave about $2.7 million overall.

Lawyers and law firms have contributed more than any other industry, giving $46.6 million. Democrats got 77 percent of that, with Clinton the top recipient.

Let's make sure we have they're backs, and make sure we get a Dem in the WH so they can get out of Iraq.

4. My vote will only go for the candidate who promises

to end the phony-baloney war first thing.

No compromises. Of course I'm another combat veteran who knows we are being scammed by the chickenhawk bush nazis and I'm fed up with being suckered. With honor my left foot.

5. I like how it totally undermines McCain

Who's been fronting himself as the 'I'm the man of the troops' candidate. Well, not *these* troops apparently.
