#1 back in 68 they chopperd (sp.) the ballots into firebase Bastogne along with the hot Carling beer and sat us down and made us vote. They did not have to make us drink the hot beer. Of course I have no idea if they were ever counted, but the attempt was made. I would think that today what with the improved communication and all that it would be possible for the military ballots to be counted.

#2 I think Washington State did something similar to this in '04. The King County Elections office (same ones who 'found' ballots during recounts) waited until the very-very last minute to send out the ballots and even then only did so under threat of a lawsuit.

And of course this year the DNC tried to get the military ballots already shipped invalidated because the Gov. Candidate Dino Rossi had 'G.O.P.' instead of 'Republican' after his name.

#3 Well, if you honestly believe that dissent is the highest form of patriotism, this makes sense.

#4 If Obama wins, come January 20th and dissent will no longer be patriotic. Count on it.

#6 ACORN the long arm of the illuminati party. Its pathatic how our troops get treated, especially while they are out fighting a war for us. It doesn't matter if you agree with the war or not, our troops don't deserve to be treated like 2nd class citizen.
