Now, this one is interesting. Conservatives are fond of claiming that the military itself supports the Leader and his war. William Marina produces some figures showing that “more than half of the Military and Veterans donating funds to the Republican Party candidates gave their monies to one candidate, Dr. Ron Paul.”
Paul is, of course, the only Republican candidate calling for withdrawal from Iraq.

They sent back self addressed envelopes to their Republican headquarters with nothing in them but the message "NO AMNESTY, WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT!" They recognize that Rudy is a fraud just like Bush. The only true conservatives running are Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul. Most of us would be happy with bringing the troops home and sitting them on the southern border. |
