POLL SHOWS NON-INTERVENTIONIST POLITICIANS DRAWING MORE SUPPORT FROM THE TROOPS
Looks like those fighting America’s wars aren’t especially enamored with the country’s warmongering politicians …
Shocker, right?
A new poll of active duty U.S. troops, reservists and national guard members showed little support for “neoconservatives” like Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio – but plenty of support for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and independent socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
According to the results of the poll – first published by Military Times – Trump received the support of 26.9 percent of America’s servicemen and women. Sanders was not far behind him at 21.9 percent. U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas finished in third place with 16.7 percent followed by Clinton (11.2 percent), Rubio (9.3 percent) and Ohio governor John Kasich (7.7 percent).
Both Trump and Sanders have been harshly critical of America’s failed interventionist foreign policy. Trump has also been harshly critical of the administration of Barack Obama for its poor treatment of veterans.
“The ongoing scandal of the horrible things happening to our Veterans is a total disgrace,” Trump wrote last summer. “Thousands of lives have been taken by the incompetence and corruption going on in Veterans hospitals. Likewise, Veterans are living in misery and are treated as third class citizens.”
Indeed …
America’s mainstream media loves to pay breathless homage to our men and women in uniform … but for some reason they seem hellbent on destroying the two candidates who are receiving the most support from our soldiers (see here and here).

Just another reason why the Republicans will sabotage Trump for Hillary long before they would accept calling him president.
Of course. He’s a draft dodging, spoiled rich kid. Ever take notice of the graduating classes from Ft Jackson. Many, many Spanish speaking families attending their child’s exit from Boot Camp.
That’s a fantastic comment. The Pound on Pedro crew nevers realizes these immigrant families proudly have their kids serve. As did the last waves of immigrants, the waves before this. Nothing brings out equality and love of country than a buzz cut and everyone wearnig the same outfit.
One step closer to deporting these illegal freeloading deadbeats.
Will Rick Hubbard seek the 11th Circuit Solicitor’s seat and has Solicitor Donnie Myers decided not to run for re-election in 2016?

The “deadbeats” Rocky is talking about are fighting for your freedoms, jerk.
Aw come on man, they aren’t fighting for anyone’s freedom…they are fighting for oil & military industrial complex profit in the name of national security.
Read Smedley Butler.
The military has become corporate enforcers for the most part. The storyline regarding existential risk are to keep the general public in line via fear.
9/11 helped them out dramatically, even if they didn’t know the House of Saud was behind it at first.

Can we deport legal freeloading deadbeats, like you pogo?
Well, we could look at this entire process like a horse race

in a hurry. Heavy Bosom is being pressured and Passionate Lady is caught
between Thighs, and Big Dick is in a dangerous spot…
AT THE HALFWAY MARK:
It’s Bare Belly on top. Thighs open and Big Dick is pressed in. Heavy Bosom is being pushed hard against Clean Sheets. Passionate Lady and Thighs are working hard on Bare Belly. Bare Belly is under terrific pressure from Big Dick…
AT THE STRETCH:
It’s Merry Cherry cracks under the strain…..Big Dick is making a final
drive… Big Dick moves inside and Passionate Lady is coming…
AT THE FINISH:
It’s Big Dick giving everything he’s got….Passionate Lady takes everything

with one final thrust, and wins by a head… Bare Belly shows and Thighs

Exquisite!
The latest news tonight about Rubio reminds me of this story
——————————————————————————–
Four jockeys are on their way home from the Kentucky Derby when the car they are travelling in is hit by a semi. The car bursts in flames and they all die.
One of the jockey’s trainers is informed that his jockey has been killed and he
needs to go down to the morgue to try and identify him – he is warned that all
four jockeys are very badly burnt and hardly recognizable.
Inside the morgue, they pull back the sheet on the first body.
“No, that’s not him,” said the trainer.
They pull back the sheet on the second.
“Nope, that’s not him.”
They pull back the sheet on the third.
“No, that ain’t him either.”
After pulling back the sheet on the fourth and final body, the trainer says
“yep, that’s the bastard.”
The mortician said, “that’s amazing: these bodies are burnt to a crisp,
and yet you have identified your jockey just like that, how?”
And the trainer said, “He has been my jockey for five years…..and he’s
never in the first three.
I don’t know why Will Folks would consider support from the military, anything to boast about. As Fitsnews has stated repeatedly …their sacrifice has ceased being admirable in our opinion and started being either gullible or intentionally harmful to true American principles.

It fits (no pun intended) his agenda…
Big night for Trump. He even got the endorsement of state controlled Russian TV.

Anybody seen liberal loser Nikki?
Ms. Nikki, made her bed now she has to lie in it. Her days in the limelight are numbered. Like Rubio, she needs to start looking for a real job.
I think Mr. Folks is losing interest in his blog. Nothing reported since Trump’s major wins last night. Biggest loser of the evening, besides Rubio, is Rafael Cruz. He will come away with no wins. This shows he he can’t win races unless the state is dominated by ultra right wing religious voters. I think Cruz is dead after yesterday. He should drop out and let us get this race down to the two factions that will matter at the Convention. Trump and the GOP establishment i.e. Billionaire donors. Kasich will be their man. They may have held their nose and supported Rafael if he had won a couple of states yesterday, but he didn’t so time for them to move on to their last shot at blocking a Trump nomination.

Keep rolling, Trump!!
Polls mean nothing until the parties have selected their candidates. Only then will we know if the nominees can pull their respective parties together and bring out voters. As evidence by his trouncing of the GOP establishment, Trump can do both of those things.
Funny because he’s yet to win one with over 50%.
Kasich is the most reasonable man still running on the GOP stage.
Reasonable? How so. He is a status quo establishment Republican. Another Dubya for the White House? In the end Kasich will do what the Billionaire bosses of the GOP want. Which is not what the people want.
This can’t be. I was told by Huffington Post that there would be a military coup if Trump was elected.
