The McCain-Palin ticket invokes the military often, but even the military community is showing strong support for Obama over McCain. Cindy McCain recently attacked Obama as a 'military mom,' and McCain noted the support he has from military wives. But in fact, the largest most organized group of military family members ever supports Obama this election. Blue Star Families for Obama represents the first time family members of the active duty community have spoken out en mass for a candidate. Their recently produced video presenting their case for military support of Obama was covered in a review on Huffington Post that has been viewed by over 350,000 people and has remained "most popular" all week.

Blue Star Families for Obama has chapters in 24 states, and regularly communicates with tens of thousands of supporters. Members host house parties, write letters to the editor, monitor live blog events, and participate in rallies. See more about Blue Stars for Obama at www.bsf4o.com.

2. The only bumperstickers I see on post are for Obama
Spouses and civilians can have political stickers on their vehicles.

I have not seen a single McCain sticker. Not one.

Course, this is an overseas post :)

Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 08:04 AM by babylonsister
Long time, no see. Hope you are well over there; been to any Octoberfests? One of these days... :hi:

And I'm glad the military spouses and families are feeling like we are; McSame is not their friend.

4. Hey! I'm good. No Oktoberfest for me this year. Too busy to go.
Obama excited military members early on and time has increased that excitement.

A lot of soldiers dislike McCain and Palin.

I wouldn't repeat some of the jokes the soldiers tell about McCain and Palin. They're pretty bad.

The other day my husband got so mad at a soldier for telling a Palin joke that was horribly mean. He said he was mad because the joke was just plain wrong...and madder still the soldier put him the position of defending Palin in any way. I told him he did the right thing. He knows he did...but it still rankled him.
