OK, Someone's Lying To Us
Bias in the media? Noooooo...... *sarcasm off*

Either those in The Service overwhelmingly love McCain and hate Obama, or love Obama and hate McCain. It simply can't be both at the same time. Ya think maybe we're being lied to by someone? Nahhh...

Here's some of the article from The Military Times; (The key words and phrases I think should be given special attention are in bold in both articles.) Military Times poll: Troops backing McCain

Sen. John McCain enjoys overwhelming support from the military’s professional core, though race appears to be a decisive factor for career-oriented black service members, a Military Times survey of nearly 4,300 readers indicates. (Notice the poll wasn't at random. The Military Times is upfront about that.)

McCain, R-Ariz., handily defeated Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., 68 percent to 23 percent in a voluntary survey of 4,293 active-duty, National Guard and reserve subscribers and former subscribers to Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times. (Again, notice that they admit this isn't a random survey, and look how many responded vice the below listed poll that USA Today cited.)

The results of the Military Times 2008 Election Poll are not representative of the opinions of the military as a whole. The group surveyed is older, more senior in rank and less ethnically diverse than the overall armed services. (The honesty is uncharacteristic for the American media. How refreshing.)The Military Times readily admits that this is far from a scientific poll. They come right out and point out the weak-points of their poll, warts and all. BTW, The Military Times, despite their name, is a civilian publication that is not affiliated with the Department of Defence.

And on the other side of the coin... here's some of an article from USA Today;
Military donations favor Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, a nonpartisan group reported Thursday. (Are soldiers the only ones who donate? I find it hard to believe that Marines, sailors, airmen, or Coasties don't kick in a buck or two. Either that, or the good folks at USA Today don't know there's a difference between soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen or Coast Guardsmen.)
Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama's presidential campaign as they have to McCain's, the Center for Responsive Politics said. (Now it's been narrowed even further. From only soldiers, to only soldiers serving overseas. I guess "abroad" also includes Okinawa, Germany, Korea, etc.? Hmmm... you think USA Today is trying to give the impression that "abroad" automatically equates to Iraq or Afghanistan?)

The report tracked donations of $200 or more. It found that 859 members of the military donated a total of $335,536 to Obama. McCain received $280,513 from 558 military donors. (And a further narrowing of only those who gave $200 or more? And why were so few polled, and compared to the Military Times voluntary poll? And with so few polled, I can't help but be suspicious of the criteria for this poll.)Among soldiers serving overseas at the time of their donations, 134 gave a total of $60,642 to Obama while 26 gave a total of $10,665 to McCain. That was less than the amount received by Republican Ron Paul, who collected $45,512 from 99 soldiers serving abroad, the report said. (Ron Paul!!?? It's pretty obvious that the results of this poll were skewed so that the liberal media could paint the picture THEY wanted. But it made for a good headline.)
