ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to opensecrets.org, the top three contributors to Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul’s campaign are from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force respectively.
“No matter how you measure it, Dr. Paul has the support of our nation’s brave servicemen and women,” said Kent Snyder, Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman. “His message of a strong national defense, and only going to war with a declaration of war – as mandated by the Constitution – resonates with those who risk their lives to defend that Constitution.”
No branch of the military appears among the “top contributors” to GOP front-runner John McCain’s campaign.
Additionally, Ron Paul’s military contributions are greater than those of all other current candidates – John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama –combined.
The “Top Contributors” figures can be found at www.opensecrets.org.

With all the money issues (trillions of $$$ in debt) that we have in this country, you'd think that voting for someone who can actually manage money would be important to us. Is this important to you?
I don't know how you feel at this time, but if I've got to pay taxes I certainly want someone in charge who knows how to at least balance a budget! Just in case you've forgotten - being in debt is NOT having a balanced budget!!
McCain can try to speak for the armed forces all he wants, but it looks as though they can speak for themselves...

"you'd think" - good point!
you may have identified the main weakness of the voting public!
As for me, I support Ron Paul - see Jan 7 post for full endorsement.
