ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Mr Rogers, "75%" of our military who are making political contributions are sending them to Ron Paul's campaign, more than any other campaign by far. (Google it.) I did. From the New York Times: This year, Paul has 10 times the individual donations - totaling $113,739 - from the military as does Mitt Romney. And he has a hundred times more than Newt Gingrich, who sat out the Vietnam War with college deferments and now promises he would strike foes at the slightest provocation. So you're talking about a *total* of $133,739. That's not even coffee money in an election, and shows more than the military is supporting Paul that they aren't making many contributions at all, except for a handful who like Paul. In a military of 2,221,500, that's an average of 6 cents apiece. Not exactly strong support... http://www.readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/9059-focus-ron-paul-the-soldiers-choice
