MilitaryTimes Election Poll
| Tue, 10-21-2008 - 10:05am |
I copied this from FNC. I'm planning on going to the base today so I'll pick up a copy of Military Times.
The Military Times polled 4,300 readers from 22Sept-29Sept. Those surveyed were a little bit older than the avg. enlisted member and includes a few more officers than are represented in the military as a whole.
ALL RESPONDENTS
68% support McCain
23% support Obama
10% undecided, declined to answer or other
If you divide it by race, 8 out of 10 Black service members

They see a support for Obama as a conflict of interest.
Hmmmm....I hadn't thought of it as a conflict of interest.

Ooohhh.....that was good. I especially agree with It defies logic that the influences of the many people who have crossed Barack Hussein Obama’s path, have not effected his psyche and his political philosophy.

I don't say "African-American"--just black. I don't expect to be called German-American or European-American, or Caucasion--just white.
I know there are some blacks who might consider that disrespectful, but I think most don't care because my actions and expressions (or lack thereof) convey my respect for them.
In the same vein, I continue to use the pre-women's-lib "he" when talking about people in general rather than always saying "he or she" or the more formal "one". I tend to be casual and concise, even though it's not always PC.

It's true that in the past blacks have favored Democrats, and this election will be different. A larger percentage of them are supporting Obama than have supported Dems in past elections.
But...the same holds true for whites. A much larger percentage of whites will vote for McCain than Obama, simply because Obama is the wrong color. It will be hard to prove, but I can tell you that from listening to my 91 yo mother, it will be common among the elderly.
When I asked my mom who she voted for yesterday she told me she voted for my DH. WHAT? Did she mean Obama cuz he and DH are about the same color? Or did she not want to tell me she voted for McCain? Or does she not even KNOW who she voted for? It's kind of scary when you think of the way some people decide whom to vote for.
