Default Campaign contributions from the military

No big surprise that 2 of the primary anti-Iraq-war candidates, Paul and Obama, are supported most heavily by military donors. McCain, a war veteran, is 3rd. Of course, a record of military folks who donate is not necessarily a represenative sample of the military as a whole, but since some conservatives falsely boast about the right being more charitable, that argument wouldn't help their cause.

All donations are public record, available through the FEC. Here are a few I found with a quick scan from www.fec.gov. These must be some of Limbaugh's "phony soldiers".

Sound like our military is trying to tell us something that our president and his cabinet is trying to hide.

Default Hmmm..

I am trying to figure out what the "rabid right" response will be..but my head hurts...

Note: I said "rabid right", not Conservatives...Conservatives are a "shrinking lot" these days and it such a shame because conservatives do make a lot of sense. But the rabid right seems to have the voice these days, only matched by the paranoid left.

Note: I said "paranoid left" not Liberals..who are also a shrinking lot..
