almost every black and Hispanic enlisted person I have ever talked to (and also a great many women of all race) told me they vehemently supported Obama.

I hope they're happy with what they got!!!

All military families and all veterans must ensure that they vote and that they get their friends to vote against these political hacks. The turnout must be huge to defeat the enemies of our military and the enemies of We The People. Our military personnel are fighting to protect and defend this nation while we have political hacks (enemies within) stealing our freedom and destroying our Constitution. Tell everyone; make it a topic of conversation everywhere you go. Wannabee dictators and political hacks in DC are disenfranchising our military to garner more power for themselves at the expense of our country and our freedom. Yes, IMO, they are that sinister.

It is a well known fact that the far left hates the military and that means dems.

Dems would like nothing better than to abolish the military completely.

Therefore dems are also for denying the right of the US to protect itself from harm by its enemies or by foreign invasion.

Dems in other words are traitors to this country.

In my opinion, we have enemies within our government just as we have foreign enemies. Both are out to destroy this country and want to deny us freedom.

Foreign dictators and RAT/RINO wannabe dictators.

The persons to blame are the our current crop of Flag Officers, Generals and Admirals for whom Victory is not an option.

They have it within their power to fix this problem.. To order the JAG to bring suit on behalf of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines effected to force the issue.

That they are so politicized they do not. So worried about that next promotion that they abandon the men is a tragic thing.

They are the ones who who can fix it. That they do not means.

They are the ones who betray the troops in this.

Dear Kaslin,

Respectfully, How So?

I am sure you want the Guys to be able to vote as do I.

Do you think Generals and Admirals in Command lack the authority to order subordinate JAG units to defend GIs collective civil rights?

While JAGs would hate to admit it, they work for and are subordinate to their raters the Commanders not the other way around.

Where is the damn Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on this? Where are the General officers..what is wrong with these people that they are not thundering mad that the men and women they are responsible for are being denied this right. I guess we have to march about that too.

I think calling senators and congressmen/women ( apart from one or two) is a total waste of time. WE are the ones who are going to have to raise a loud noise about this with a march in DC again...Time for VETS who can wear something of their old uniforms show up and clamor loud and clear about this.

Last Saturday was the deadline under the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE) for states to have sent unmarked absentee ballots to soldiers overseas so they can exercise the same right to vote as those they risk their lives to protect, including Afghans and Iraqis.

I think it's this Saturday. At least I hope so.

Early this week, those of us who mailed off reuqests for absentee ballots received postcards from our precincts telling us our ballots will be mailed on or before September 24.

I'm not military, but am a civilian embed and I and the troops with whom I work all received that date, regardless of our states.

If the deadline passed last Saturday, then the RATS have pulled another fast one (like all of those "late" ballots in '08.)

Of course, we all wonder if our votes count anyway.

But we vote. Just in case.

“Isn’t it touching how devoted to the troops the ‘Rat Party is?/s”

Yeah, right. During the 2000 election, Florida demonrats illegally disallowed the votes of a carrier battle group deployed to the Mediterranian, on the grounds that they weren’t post-marked as of the last allowable date.

Why is that illegal? Because the Florida law said that ballots had to be EITHER postmarked by the last allowable date OR-OR-OR received by the last allowable date.

These ballots weren’t postmarked at all which was perfectly legal. This was because the postal personnel with the battle group wanted to make sure they went out on time.

They were RECEIVED on time, but disallowed by vile leftist scum on the entirely specious grounds that they had not been postmarked by the last allowable date.

Does anyone doubt that a large majority of those thousands of votes were for George Bush? The libtards didn’t.

And that, boys and girls, is how that awful George Bush stole the election from that dear, dear Algore. (Oh, and the other demonrat fraud played a role, too.)

If all the ballots had been counted, as the dims kept chanting, Bush would have won handily.

I have one. I wrote the date received on the envelope and signed it.

The military vote will have to be protected, lest 0bama and his minions steal the election..
