Support our troops, vote Obama?

Remember those “We support our troops and the president” bumper stickers from the 2004 presidential election? This election year, they’ll have to read, “We support our troops and Obama.”That’s because a study by The Center for Responsive Politics discovered that, “Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain.”The non-partisan, non-profit research group headquartered in Washington, DC. also reported on their website that, “Despite McCain's status as a decorated veteran and a historically Republican bent among the military, members of the armed services overall -- whether stationed overseas or at home -- are also favoring Obama with their campaign contributions in 2008…” It’s gonna be really interesting to hear how McCain’s people, who are touting their candidate’s foreign policy and military expertise, spin this one. When the true experts on our nation’s defense, and the people who are actually protecting America, support Obama by such a wide margin, it’s pretty hard to argue that a vote for McCain is supporting our troops.
