<font color='white'> I have no links to back up my numbers, however, I have heard several times that military personel votes for the most part Republican, however I have heard minoritys make up a very large percentage of the military, and minoritys have in the past voted for the most part, Democrat.

Hmm.

So...
You post a statistic you can't back up, and you're not suggesting anything by posting it? So why post it in the first place? ;)
And frankly, I fail to see what good it would do to the Republican side of the matter to post this little tidbit in the first place... It's a good thing you said you weren't suggesting anything, because I don't know what you'd be suggesting that could possibly be used to the advantage of Your Side Of The Matter. ;)

And perhaps this would still be valid if one would change Grojlach345 to LordK587. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don´t see why this statistics can´t be correct though. How many men are in the US military? And how many hispanics, african americans etc. live in the US? Wouldn´t this add up to that a minority of the minority votes republican?

Lord K, why did you change your font color? You´re confusing me. :D

Oh, but I wasn't saying it was incorrect, as it does make sense if it's the case, more or less. Even if it's only a reflection of the current voting behaviour of the American people at the moment, I think it's tending towards a majority of preferring the Republican side now anyways; even if only because of the current flush of victory. These <s>statistics</s> <s>suggestions</s> <s>thoughts</s> whatever ;) don't really say that much at all, nor are really all that surprising or shocking.

By the way... The US military, is it on a voluntary basis nowadays or is there still a compulsory military service in the US? If it's the former, it would explain something about a more to the right tending composition of the military just the same; one look at the wide-spread anti-war protests on the left side of the political spectrum could give an explanation of the "why" of that assumption. ;)

Of course what IR claimed wasn't even a statistic at all, more along the lines of a rumour, observed trend, or personal opinion.
There may some numbers floating around on the net somewhere (ie: real statistics) that prove or disprove what IR says, but I'm not going to bother looking for them. IR, you'll do us the honour won't you?

<font color="#f683ad">Perhaps the weeks and weeks of Military training, and the years and years of education during a Military carreer opens the eyes of said "minorities" and they see that not all is as the Nanny-party would have them believe?


Sorry but MagiK-666 asked me to pass that along :D </font>
