ObaMedia lies: Military Poll 54 McCain vs 6 Dems

ABC News Asks 60 Soldiers Who They'll Vote for - Doesn't Report the 54 For McCain

By Bill Dupray, redstate.com

This from Major General (ret) Buckman.

My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq was assigned, with others of her detachment, to be escort/guard/watcher for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain’s recent trip to Iraq.

Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI’s walking past. They kept count of the GI’s and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI’s who they planned to vote for in November. 54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama, and 2 for Hillary.

Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they’d see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn.

Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn’t a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell’uva view of skewed news. After a dissertation on McCain’s trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI’s being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November; 3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton .. No mention of the 54 for McCain.

Ah, the irony of American Patriots protecting the press from harm while the reporter prepares a completely misleading story about which candidate the soldiers prefer. The reporter obviously thought her escort was comprised of brainless morons who wouldn't see what was going on in front of them. Wouldn't be the first time a reporter in the MSM turned out to be the brainless moron.

Unbelievable. The liberal media has lied and mislead so many hundreds of millions of people over the last several decades. Imagine what this country would be like if the media was 90% conservative instead. McCain would be considered a staunch liberal and Bush would be considered a moderate.
