The 2012 presidential race tells a different story: The lion's share of political contributions by servicemembers and defense industry workers is going to anti-war, "soft on Israel," also-ran candidate Ron Paul. In fact, the battle for their dollars isn't even close: Paul has raised at least $282,868 from individual active-duty servicemembers and Pentagon employees—more than four times what the other three Republican presidential candidates have raised, combined. (President Obama has fared slightly better, drawing $123,644 from that group, but still less than half of Paul's total. Full Story Here.

Why Does The Military Love Ron Paul?
Think most military service members are donating to Mitt Romney, New Gingrich, and Rick Santorum? Think again, they're giving their money to Ron Paul. And why, you ask? I imagine service members are tired of fighting endless wars. Or maybe it has something to do with coming back home to no jobs? Democrats say cut defense spending, Republicans scream back, "you're a terrorist". Seriously?
