A May 2012 Gallup survey showed Mr. Obama trailing Mitt Romney among veterans 58 to 34 percent. “About a fourth of men are veterans,” Gallup reported, “and it is their strong skew toward Romney that essentially creates the GOP candidate’s leading position among men today.”

Someone needs to make an ad about this, attacking Obama for his anti-military voter suppression tactics.

Vets and active duty have family and friends, it will put Obama on the defensive.

Consider the number of people who have been or are currently in the Military, does he really want to do this?

“It makes you wonder why they are investing that much time and effort to keep the troops from voting. They must be desperate.”

He doesn’t even try to hide this stuff. It’s all in plain site. And he’s got people, or sheeple, who evidently think all is well who’ll vote for him.

God, what has become of our country?
