Military Donors Back Ron Paul & Obama; Lobbyists back Hillary

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Not a surprise.

In the 4th quarter of 2007, individuals in the Army, Navy and Air Force made those branches of the armed services the No. 13, No. 18 and No. 21, contributing industries, respectively. War opponent Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, received the most from donors in the military, collecting at least $212,000 from them. Another war opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, was second with about $94,000.

Soldiers love Ron and Barack, and lobbyists love Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, the No. 1 recipient of lobbyist cash, receiving $823,000 in 2007 from the lobbying industry, which gave about $2.7 million overall.

1. Nice post, thanks for the info. It doesn't surprise at all, given HRC's plan in Iraq is disasterous

Consider: she'll pull out most of the troops while leaving a minimal force to do mop up actions until 2013?!?

2. It is interesting

that people in the military are more likely to support the anti-war candidates.
