Freerepublic is having a military get out the vote drive.

[Timefortruth]

Which is a very good thing, unless they reach only their own kind and avoid the majority of the military.

What can we do to have our own GOTV for the military? Several months ago, before the shit really hit the fan, Stars and Stripes did a military survey and even at that point * looked bad, considering the demographic. As I recall only around half of those surveyed stationed in Iraq would vote for Bush, that number must have dropped since then.

There must be a way for us to reach them also.

1. Why would the military vote Repug this time around.

JK has to work for their votes but he can win them over.

3. Kerry needs to do some "Reach Out and Touch Me" pr...

afaik- the military despise Bush..

They will be more than happy to vote Kerry in 04'.

4. I think the military vote is basically lost to *.

That's why the freepers are desperately seeking to get it back. Why would this rightwing website try to solicit votes that are traditionally guaranteed Repub? Answer: that's not the case anymore. Military personnel are not influened by *'s spin. They are being exposed to the consequences of the BFEE much more than the rest of US.

6. You are probably right.

But how do we capitalize on the change of heart?

5. They'd have more luck with a "get of the military" drive! n/t

7. That is fine by me....

As far as I am concerned, the more people that vote the better. Let's find out what the military really thinks about Bunnypants and his policies.
