So if this is your idea of a true commander-in-chief how do explain this?

I've always believed that people put their MONEY where their mouth is. It's easy to produce propaganda like your Fox News Friends do, but let's follow the money.

What's your point?

Obama could pull the troops as easily as Ron Paul could. Why hasnt your poster child for gutless hypocrisy done so?

How is Obama my poster child? Could you explain what you mean?

I voted for Ron Paul in 2008 and will do so again in 2012. (by the way, military support for Ron Paul in 2008 was the same during that campaign )

Why don't you answer the question and explain why Dr. Paul receives more monetary campaign support by active military than any other candidate? ***crickets***

Black Widow-

from a retired military officer

The numbers you show are relatively low $$$ amounts considering the amount of active military personnel- one explanation is that by tradition , Military personnel tend to be politically neutral(at least in public) For example military personnel are not suppose to attend military rallies etc in uniform so s not to imply military backing for a candidate. My experience is that Paul supporters tend to be a "loud and proud" bunch and probably buck that tradition to a point- JMO

With all due respect OTB...how far back do we have to go in the Presidential line before we find one that doesn't fit the description of "gutless" hypocrite?

God I hate politics...can't we just talk about softball?

jonriv,

Actually, the numbers are quite high in comparison to every other candidate on the ballot since we are talking grass roots support, not corporate donations.

Are you saying that Ron Paul gets more monetary support from active military because Ron Paul supporters in general are more boisterous? Not sure I understand the correlation you are trying to make.

How does boisterousness rally the kind of donor support that Dr. Paul is getting? What message does this "loud and proud" bunch say that would garner such support?


Would you care to elaborate so I can get a clearer picture of what you mean?

Thank you.


Peace
