The “Fighting Dems”

Here’s a fascinating statistic: of the 20 Iraq combat veterans who have announced their intention to run for Congress in 2006, 19 are running as Democrats. That’s a staggering percentage, given that a poll taken prior to the 2004 election found that 72% of active-duty military personnel and 73% of National Guard and Reserve personnel favored Bush over Kerry.

Sometimes actions do indeed speak louder than words.
