He doens't really want the draft I think, and he knows it will lose, but he is trying to make a political point and bring up the serisousness of going to war, too many people take the subject far too lightly whne it's not thmeselves and not their kids going to war. The debate as is too serious.

It is interesting though, Michael Moore did a similar thing in Fahrenheit 9/11. when he went walking around Congress with military signup sheets ??

Here's a thought....

Keep it all voluntary, however......

KEEP YOUR FUCKING PROMISES D.O.D.

Pay them right, arm them right, treat them right, and when in need FUCKING TAKE CARE OF THEM RIGHT.

Spend more on education, treatment, rehabilitation.

And if you're going to call on The National Guard.

MAKE SURE IT'S TO GUARD OUR NATION, not build, police, and secure others.....

It's not "Democrats," it a singular Democrat in Charles Rangel that wants to reinstate the draft. His bill was voted on by the Republican congress shortly before the Iraq War to show that we really didn't need that many troops to fight the war...

DOUBLE STANDARD! He's YOURS, like it or not. When you have a nutcase in your party's midst, you can't toss him aside and think that'll be it. He's yours, warts and all, just the same way you hypocritical Libbies like to slam the Republican party for their few village idiots!


And EVERY PARTY has them, Darling Nikki.

Why do so many miss the entire point of what Rangel is doing here?

Sure, a Republican could have introduced a draft bill, but they would have simply passed it, with all loopholes for rich kids intact, and amped up the war.

What Rangel is really looking for here is to debate the issue, based on a cold hard reality that yes, Senator Clinton, yes Senator Biden, yes pResident Chimp, YOUR kids could be drafted to go to Iraq. Or fight another battle for the paranoid Likud cocksuckers in Iran. Do you still want the war?

I support his idea as it stands now. If it comes close to an actual draft, I would have to change my mind.

What an absolute crock of steaming shit with diced carrots and onions.

Irony, line 1

Now, now, FORD.

You can't just go half-way. It's either all or nothing.

OK then..... Draft all the kids of Republican warmongers.

What about the Democrats who voted not to pull the troops out the last time they voted on it in Congress?

Wasn't the vote 432-2 or something similar?

[FORD]

That wasn't a real vote, and you know that as well as the shithead neocon who wrote the resolution did.

He's mine? Well indeed, Rangel is my boy! I agree with his sentiment wholeheartedly, and he's far from a "nutcase." He's making a valid point, that's all. I guess it needs to be explained for those that cannot see the proverbial forest through the trees...

But he's still only ONE Democrat, and this thread fraudulently presented this as some sort of Democratic platform. And apparently, a few are dumb enough to fall for it...

...

Because some people are linear thinking idiots that need to be spoon-fed everything. No wonder why they watch Fox News...
