WHERE IS MY F'ING BALLOT!
Voting straight GOP will be like taking my ballot and shoving it right down his throat!
Enough of these punks! It's time to shut them all down!
It is a great time to to do this. :0)
Let us not forget the damn fool did not cast a yea vote for his stupid proposal the first time around.
Rangel is talking bullshit. He knows what is in place.
He is pushing for a surrender in Iraq and the reinstatement of the draft?
That guys got so much imagination.
The important thing is that Rangel, a Democrat, is speaking of bringing back the draft two days before a mid-term election.
This will resonate with undecided voters and will lose votes for the Dems.
Rangel IS an idiot who doesn't know how or when to keep his big mouth shut. Thankfully.
Of course he does.....but, most people who hear it will recoil from it....won't they......and it's a DEMOCRAT calling for a Draft for STUPID reasons.
Yeah, that makes NO sense at all! How do these people get elected?
The draft is a reality today. In the event of Congressional OR Executive approval, the boards reconvene. Sorry to bear contrary news. It does not matter which party is in power. Better that the party of Jon Carry is NOT in power.
This proves he's a total idiot.
"Everyone wants to fight with someone else's children"? Guess it wasn't someone elses children in the other wars.
"...new draft should be fair, with people from every part of society coming to a national public service." So the old drafts weren't fair? And then just how does Mr. Rangle propose to have a draft that singles out certain segments of the population? Sounds like profiling to me.
There will be millions of the illitate wich will vote Demoactric.
I cannot wait until Tuesay, enjoy a nice glass of dry white wine, and hoist a toast to Rove.
Yes, indeed.
Kamrade Rangel's theory is that if we institute a draft, we will lose the will to fight. The armed forces will become just one more useless social welfare scam.
When I voted I checked the box for straight Republican. In any race in which there was only an unopposed DemocRAT, I didn't vote. In one race there was a DemocRAT and a Libertarian running but no Republican, so I voted for the Libertarian.
He's doing this now because when they brought this issue out the last time Republicans got blamed for being the authors. It's a scare tactic. And the electorate isn't educated, so it works pretty well for the Dems.
Sorry, 50 USC is not a stupid reason in my mind. I have had some great friends and family volunteer and be conscripted under this provision. Please understand that both parties are aware of this. If you have sons, or friends that have sons between 18 and 26, encourage them to do the right thing. I did it, and my family has done it. The draft (SSS) is not the evil thing that the Dems make it to be. For if a young man does not register, it creates a problem in volunteering, educational finance, and the whole ball of wax.
Rangel has no idea how nutty he sounds, or what the logical consequence of his statements might be. All he knows about the military and war, he "learned" via leftis perceptions of Viet Nam. On the one hand, being a Democrat, he's into forced "equitability" and loves the idea of being able to snatch up the unwilling. On the other hand, he wants to create opposition to this war and any war, and sees this as the way to accomplish that.
Trouble is, leading up to this election, he's the one advocating a return to the draft, and he's a Democrat. Who fears this sort of thing the most? Young, leftist college students. He's just alienated a fair number of potential Democrat voters.
Uh, FYI, Charlie is a Korean War vet. So he's been there, done that.
Please see number 14.
rangel proves that the dems are slime
