The one that says that the pundits who ALL make over 250k a year will continue to insist that Obama will raise everyones taxes, or the one that points out that Hillary's menopausal minions are *goshdarn* crazy and bitter?

MOST campaign donations would come from the Mrs. or Mr. watching the homefront. My guess: Active duty leans 2/3 to 3/4 Republican.

It's not about 'Trusting'. I have no doubt that the numbers are real. It's about being able to think critically about what you just read: That's 160 troops donating to anyone out of 140,000 (more or less). < .02 percent, and less than .01 pct are donating to Obama. It's a number so low as to be meaningless....

Jeebus! They're giving these clowns 455, and 410 bucks??!! That's my car payment. " 'Bama...Love you buddy. Wish all the luck in the world. I'll give you a beer, but I ain't givin' you no 400 bucks."
