This is why RATS always try to keep US service men’s absentee ballots from being counted. They know service members overwhelmingly vote Republican.

Quick... tell Chris Matthews - he may get that strange leg thing again...in anticipation of another sneaky ‘win’.

This is the liberal media’s way. They keep interviewing until they find someone who gives them the answers that they want (that match their assumptions).

I heard locally a woman call in to talk radio. She had a family member in the service. I can’t recall the specifics; if this was election time and she was being asked about a dead/absent son/husband in service or Christmas asked about an absent son/husband...

Anyway, she was slated to appear live on the morning news, she and others gave their interviews. She was pro-military in her remarks in a way that surprised the interviewer. Subsequent rebroadcasts (at noon and evening) included remarks by some of the families but not hers. Depends on “what you have to say” whether the media cares or not.

He’d probably freak out to learn that one of those Democrats leading Congress is a Mormon.

The first primary method of propaganda is to use omission. The MSM does this all the time.

I voted for Nixon in 1972 while I was in Vietnam. We knew McGovern was no good.

I’ve known soldiers were conservative since as far back as I can remember. I’m in ROTC and even the liberals there are conservative in comparison to most liberals.

It’s selective memory. I was talking to a Jewish woman in my neighborhood, and she suddenly went off (out of the clear blue sky) on Bush. I know she’s got BDS, so I’m not surprised.

But I did confront her about Carter. She insisted, absolutely insisted, that unemployment, gas prices, and interest rates are far worse under Bush.

The more I tried to tell her the truth, the louder she got. You can’t convince these people. I just walked off.

Raddatz was distracted by a flag pin on one soldier’s shirt and lost count...

I hope someone investigates this. The email reads like your typical hoax chain email. It there a retired US Army MG Buckman? He should be easy enough to find.

On the other hand, I've had similar experiences with reporters, so I know this is possible.

Everyone knows soldiers vote overwhelmingly Republican.

Well not because the media reports it. The media works hard to find anti-war Democrat soldiers to quote as representative of typical soldiers.

That was a truly disgusting bit of “news reportage”!

She must have worked for Goebbels in a past life. She seems quite adept at this.

Ironically, she didn’t seem to carry that bias when she worked for Channel 5 (WCVB) in Boston (when she was known as Martha Bradley).

Just another example, I guess, of the intellectual corruption in the media so prevalent at the national level.

CA....

They even get the details wrong...the McCain supporter shown in the story is identified as "Senior Airman Jedidiah Byran" when he is clearly wearing an Army uniform with Specialist rank on it....

Human waste, Harry Reid, blames Bush for the 9% approval rating that Congress gets. Reid needs to look at himself in the mirror; that’s where the blame lies along with the treasonous Witch, Pelosi. The boiling anger of the American people needs to be directed at the source, the US Congress! Dump Congress; the entire worthless bunch.
