Duh...Older white military men from the South are less likely to approve of Obama than Bush

[kpete]

Via Political Wire, a Military Times subscriber survey http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/12/military_poll_main_122908/
tells us their readers prefer Bush to Obama. Here's the tell though:

The responses are not representative of the opinions of the military as a whole. The survey group overall under-represents minorities, women and junior enlisted service members, and over-represents soldiers.

All righty then. Thanks for letting us know older white military men from the South are less likely to approve of Obama than Bush. We never would have known otherwise.

1. It was an online survey. NOT AT ALL representive of military personnel.

I participated.

Military Times has been very open about how it was conducted.

4. It Almost Sounds...

...as though you're mocking them.

Sure, you can do that. It's a free country.

But it's those states that will continue growing their populations at the expense of the north. Yes, Virginia and North Carolina went for Obama this time. They sure did but if things don't improve in a hurry (they won't, no matter who is in office) they'll go right back to their normal voting patterns in 2010 and 2012. Keep in mind that 2010 brings us another reapportionment and we'll see Ohio and Pennsylvania lose one or two House seats each, New York state possibly as many as three. Michigan is gonna really get hit in the Electoral College for 2012.

Did you know that property values didn't crater in Dallas and Houston? They went down but they didn't implode like they did in other places because Texas cities are experiencing the same kind of in-migration of population they saw during the recessions of the seventies and eighties. They can't build schools, churches and freeways fast enough in central Texas. The recession of the early eighties brought American Airlines to DFW. The recession in the early nineties was when Plano got JCPenney corporate HQ. One has to wonder who's next...maybe Jacobs Engineering leaving Pasadena for Houston? The company already has a large facility there and they recently purchased Carter-Burgess in Fort Worth. Maybe they'll move to Fort Worth, who knows. I can tell ya they're not staying in Pasadena. They can't afford it. Who can?

Nothing's really changed. Y'all need to keep that in mind.
