Of course it did; after all, we elect government leaders to govern. What I can't figure out is why the Republicans support anarchy (i.e. no "big government", whatever that pointless term is supposed to mean) when so many brave American men and women have fought and died for our right to vote those we choose to serve in the... wait for it... government.

USNinJapan2 -
First, let's remember the fact the I've backed up my arguments where some of the neo-cons on this site accused me of not doing so.
Next, let's consider that simply calling your opponents' links "fluff" and "trash" is NOT a counterargument; rather, it's a desperate attempt to look relevant after having no defense of your own argument.
Last, let me actually comment on the results of the Military Times poll you linked for me. You sent me two pages of pie-chart; you did NOT send me any articles explaining how the poll was taken. For that, I turn to an article that Sarge tried (and failed) to defeat my argument with quite a while ago - you must've missed it. Let me go over it again for you:
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/10/militarypoll100508w/
(NOTE: Simply cutting and pasting the above link won't work for some reason; you have to Google "military times obama vs. mccain". You'll find a working version of the link about sixth from the top of the list.)
From the article:
4,293 people, huh? Last time I checked, the US military was rather larger than that. So, you've taken one poll, on which someone has slapped the name "Military Times", and you hold that as absolute proof for your argument? I don't think so. You didn't even bother to check the rest of the article before you threw this poll in my face (like Sarge did), did you? Well, you should have. You would have learned that this one poll does not represent a large enough segment of the military to be considered all-encompassing.
USN, you made a point earlier about how your workplace is manned by people who tend to lean more to the right, whereas mine is manned by more left-leaning voters. Maybe this explains the disparity between your observations and mine. To that end, when you work on a base the size of Ramstein and you see overwhelming support for Obama, pre- and post-election, you tend to believe the obvious - the vast majority of the US military supports President Obama.
Until you're prepared to offer me a poll that takes into account the US military population as a whole, I see no reason to back down from my argument. There are just too many people around me daily who prove my argument right.

Sarge continues to believe that everything is rosy in Iraq; it provably is not - do your research. Otherwise, we would have come home in victory by now.
The links I've provided above prove that the US military and President Obama mutually support each other - no need for me to provide more.
To the moderator, all I can say is "Wow".

Obama was for our pullout of Iraq because staying there no longer served a viable purpose. Iraq has not been liberated; it has been rendered chaotic. For these reasons, he was rightfully against the surge in Iraq and rightfully for the surge in Afghanistan. Yet again, one of the reasons President of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama continues to enjoy overwhelming support from members of the US military.
Why are your posts always so full of off-topic vitriol, hatred, defeatable arguments (see above) and bold-faced lies? Do you really think the rest of us don't notice?

I made a donation to the International Red Cross because I care about the Haitian people, and not so I could use it as another hateful, un-American way to bash Obama and his administration.

I'm sure you wish that were true, just like you wish you could truthfully say Obama doesn't support the military (and vice-versa), but once again, the facts prove differently.

No reason for me to take your assessment of the quality of my links seriously. No reason to consider myself embarrassed. No reason for me to back down from the argument. I stand by the facts as I have presented them to you; sorry if none of you are man enough to admit I'm right, but then, it's not like I require your validation.
Keep going gang; this is easy-as-pie for me!

People, people, PEOPLE! Will you all just please relax? It's merely Rush Limbaugh spewing hateful garbage, by taking advantage of a horrific situation in an impoverished country like Haiti, in order to boost his ratings and pander to his unpatriotic listeners. Did you really expect him NOT to? I sure didn't.
Quit giving this a@@hole Limbaugh so much publicity.

Helter - Um, dude, did you, like, see all the other links I posted? Give it a try.
Sorry if the facts bother you, but I stand by them. Any more takers?

Too easy!
But, USNinJapan, I appreciate your effort - far more than Sarge ever did, despite his claims.
SuperLib - I could be a jerk about this, but I think I've humiliated you enough.

Well, those of us who serve in the US military don't find it so abhorrent. Obama's support of the troops is one of the reasons we helped elect him. But hey, you already knew that.

Sarge - that last statement of yours is probably the most laughable you've ever written. Obviously, you understand nothing about the liberal mindset, so please don't presume to know what I believe. Once again, predictably, I've painted you into a corner. Now, go back, regroup, and try again, only this time, put at least a modicum of effort into your "argument".

Sarge - Another swing and a miss from you! Please show us where I ever said Obama would cut military spending... Nah, of course you can't. Sorry Sarge, you can't lie you way out of this one! LOL!

OK, Molenir, you stand by your comment, and I'll stand behind mine. Sorry you think the President of the United States is an idiot, but I don't. I refer you to the statistics you yourself provided.

HelterSkelter and USNinJapan - LOL! Believe what you wish; why would I need to "spin" anything when I have the facts so overwhelmingly on my side?
The main fact is that right-wingers swore Obama would cut military spending and now those same right-wingers are tasting shoe leather. But, what else is new?
