Why would the United States Marines hand out flyers at the main gate saying "Vote for Obama" and save us? ?

Question

Just got back from Selfridge ANG Base and was shocked to observe this action.

Answer 1

That is a lie as the Military is not allowed to make any political statements on base or in uniform. Nice try though. By the way McCain has the majority of the military support.  

Answer 2

Its very simple they are supporting their candidate. And if you make less than 250,000.00 and you don't vote democrat you dont deserve to be saved

Answer 3

Erudite...my man.  Haven't seen your thought provoking Marine obsessed questions in a while.  Where you been my brother and fellow American? As for the response to your question.  I don't buy it. Please vote my response as best answer.  It will show all the others you are truly not biased.

Answer 4

Prehaps they're sick of countless American men who are being sent to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanastan for no clear gain? Maybe they realise that the presense under which Iraq and Afphanistan was invaded were bear faced lies and the only thing they're gaining is filling the powers that be's pockets. After hearing of this action, my respect for the men and women in the military has increased significantly, I'm glad they're finally taking action against what is state-sponsored barbary, of both American troops and innocent Iraqis.

Answer 5

Because Mt.Clemens along with Clinton Twp. has gone down the tubes and the people there think Obama will give out free handouts. At lease Harrison Twp. is still looking okay.

Probally their unit commander is pro-Obama and these marines are doing as their told.

Probally theyre sick of the war in Iraq and elsewhere and Obama is more likely than McCain to pull out our troops...

could be many answers.. depends on youre perception.

Answer 6

I think you were mistaken..United States Marines do not need anyone to save them. But, I would not put it past the dems to  hire actors. Little bit fishy that these "Marines" were at the gate and not inside the gate. BTW ..Proof is in the pudding...where is your proof.?

Answer 7

Why do you sit here making up BS stories? Are you really that bored?

Answer 8

because obviously they are morons first off secondly if they were in Uniform they were as wrong as two boys kissin' cause that is not allowed while in uniform.

Answer 9

Sorry my man, I just can't accept your statement based on your word.  

Answer 10

DONT WORRY THIS GUY HAS BEEN POSTING THESE THE PAST WEEK. THIS ISNT TRUE AND HE IS JUST PISSED BECAUSE HE COULD NEVER BE A MARINE. HE IS JUST A ******.

Answer 11

Because they know, that a vote for McCain is a vote for four more years of the Bush Administration. For all the talk about McCain being a maverick he has voted with Bush 95 percent of the time. Some Maverick.

McCain doesn't support the Vets. He fought against better benefits for returning vets. And when Senator Obama and Senator Clinton voted for the bill, McCain skipped the vote.

I may not believe in the war, but those returning Vets deserve the best in the way of Health Care and benefits.
