Comments on: Low Turnout Seen In Iranian Election

Pro-Ahmadinejad Hardliners Expected To Dominate Vote As Many Reformists Are Disqualified

Rafterman, Yes and we went over those numbers. Just states how many claim to be republican. I am sure Bush has cost Republicans many supporters. That is one of the reasons I''ll be glad to see him go. But the poll does not indicate what rank or MOS the soldiers are and does not indicate who they plan on voting for.

jwhit, Flip floppers abound in this election year. Are you honestly going to say that Hilary and Obama have not flip flopped?

[j-whitman]

crusherking,,,,, Isn''t McCain just another Bush ?? McCain is far from the man he was in Viet Nam, hell, he''s not the same man he was 10 years ago by far, he''s flip-floped & straight up lied on many issues including the border & how good he was for Arizona, Yuma is talking about building a moat.

Rafterman, The LA Times? Yeah. Theres an unbiased and even handed publication!.. NOT!

[crusherking]

Jwhit, Bush is not running for office again(thankfully) and the only reason I ever voted for him was to keep Gore out of the Oval Office. I am not a staunch republican. Don''t know how much clearer I can make that. I don''t support Bush on everything. And say what you want about McCains service. Its still mountains more than what either Dem has. We need someone who knows how to run the military, or, at least has an idea what it means to be a soldier.

crusherking,,, You are talking of odds ?? Aren''t you one who''s thought Bush was the greatest thing since Mayonaise ???

[crusherking]

Rafterman,

Well fair enough. But again, my point is that Nancy Naive still hasn''t gotten over 2000.. I think that is a valid point.. Isn''t this 08 now?? And furthermore, she wanted to compare our Election process to Irans.. That was where I went into what its really like in an Iranian election. I feel more that just in pointing out the stupidity of her statement.

[j-whitman]

crusherking,,,,, Actually both Hillary & Obama have more experiance than Bush did by far,,, And Bush never served one day on active duty, he ran from it.

McCain''s active duty wasn''t that great, he crashed 5 jets & witneesses put him in the plane that started the USS Forrestal fire, but, I do honor his sacrifice.

He''s been wrong on every part of this war, & echoed all of Bush''s lies including on the strength of the economy.... He''s to lobbying what Elliot Spitzer is to prostitution, made it a legislative issue then has lobbyists running his staff on the campaign & his Senate office.

McCain was behind his lobbyists all the way on the Air Force tanker deal with AirBus, even after the Secretary of the Air Forced promised Congress they only wanted medium size tankers -
--- McCain who spoke out against the "Religion of Intolerence" has now surrendered to them.

jwhit AND rafterman vs Crusherking..

And the odds are still in my favor!

[crusherking]

No, the military is more conservative than the public overall, especially the officer corps, but more and more rank and file people, the ones that get dirty fighting the wars, are dropping Republican affiliation year after year. If you had any of that "intelect" that you accused me of not having, that should indicate to you that the troops are getting fed up with the direction Republicans have taken them and the military. It''''s a warning sign and you''''d better heed it.


And you get this info from where?? Show me the data..
