More Compelling Reasons Why Democrats Don't Welcome the Military Vote

Investor's Business Daily describes how the Democrats regard the military budget as an easy target for cuts at a time when sacrifices have to be made across-the-board.

"The New York Times reported last week that thanks in large part to 'big budget deficits,'the Defense Department is under 'intensifying political and economic pressures to restrain its budget, setting up the first serious debate since the terrorist attacks of 2001 about the size and cost of the armed services.' The House and Senate are considering cuts.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same.

"Defense is the only part of the budget Democrats seem to want to cut. And they've supplied themselves with the perfect cover to do so: the all-too-familiar 'bipartisan commission.'"

UPDATE: Pajamas Media has an article about how 17,000 service members were cheated out of the opportunity to have their absentee ballots counted because of government inefficiency.
