The Men and Women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force.
Today, I decided rather than analyzing industries and companies which tell us who we shouldn’t vote for, I decided to analyze the donations of those Men and Women which tell us who we should vote for. These Men and Women have put their lives on the line, and have upheld their pledge to defend the US Constitution.
We must listen to what they have to say and why. They are on the front lines, and they see first hand what’s happening in the War. They should be our primary source of information.
In doing my analysis, I pulled the donations from members of the following military branches – the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. They include active service members, retired service members, and even those who have identified themselves as “Disabled.”
| Ron Paul | $49,740 |
| Barack Obama | 48,078 |
| John S McCain | 43,833 |
| Hillary Rodham Clinton | 24,020 |
| Fred | 20,375 |
| Mitt Romney | 18,210 |
| Rudolph W Giuliani | 12,420 |
| Mike Huckabee | 7,650 |
| Bill Richardson | 7,575 |
| John Edwards | 6,862 |
| Duncan Hunter | 6,830 |
| Joseph R Jr Biden | 4,475 |
| Samuel Dale Brownback | 1,647 |
| Thomas Gerald Tancredo | 1,030 |
| Christopher J Dodd | 250 |
| Dennis J Kucinich | 246 |
| John H Cox | 45 |
| Mike Gravel | 10 |
Members of these four military branches have overwhelmingly expressed their support for Ron Paul. He has received more donations than any other candidate, Republican or Democrat, according to the currently available FEC data. This is telling, and it brings a tear to my eye. Ron Paul seemingly is the only candidate who wants our troops back home, and he wants them back right now. Perhaps the American people should take notice.
