this calls for the 'aww not this sh*t again' picture.
The only proposals for reinstating the draft have been made by DEMOCRATS in order to scare voters.
Period.
Oh, brother.
Only stupid people fall for this crap. The Pentagon has been on record as saying they don't need the draft. They don't want the draft. They are MORE than meeting recruitment drives.
Now THIS is a troll post. Mine was just a dumb mistake.
It is total BS...two bills are being floated by Dems, but they even admit that it is political in nature and the bills will go nowhere. I will go out and find my last post on the subject and post it here.
It's complete BS. There are no plans for a draft and the only (mostly unsupported) bills in Congress are sponsored and backed solely by Dems the likes of Rangal(sp??). Just another scare tactic.
I know some nice gentlemen from Nigeria who would like to reward you handsomely if you help them put $16 million in your bank account...
A Democrat proposed it in Congress. It is not going to happen. No chance at all. But the Democrats are using this to lie to young kids especially at the college. It will swing them to vote Dem and also make them turn out. Dems know it is a lie, but the youngsters are pretty easy to manipulate.
HR 163 was proposed by a group of liberal Democrats so that they can say that it was introduced. It is not "winding it's way" through either chamber of Congress, it is tabled in a committee and doesn't have a snowballs chance in a Houston summer of making it out of committee alive.
Scare tactics, fake memos, and outright lies are all the Democrats have to offer the American people.
You know him too? Nice fellow, took only $20,000 from my account. But I am pretty excited about collecting that $16 mill....
I think the posting of unsourced e-mails has been discouraged.
I am not aware of a Republican who wants to see the draft return.
I am aware of Democrat voters who oppose Bush because "he'll bring back the draft". Dems are idjits, you see.
The only thing you need to know about this bill:
It's sponsored by Charlie Rangel
My highschool age kids have heard this and give it some credit, and so does their mother to some extent.
Put yourself in their shoes. When you were 18 the thought of the draft could be pretty scary.
This is, as earlier posters have said, DNC disinformation of the worst kind, but it's effective, unfortunately.
Kind of like the phone calls to seniors saying that Bush will chop their social security. Maybe they don't believe it, maybe they're confused, but it IS pretty scary.
The Democrats are scum.

Your first clue.
In related news, Bill Clinton just bought a house in Montreal.
Snopes is a wonderful site: http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/draft.asp
Yeah, and it's smart to rob a bank in broad daylight because everyone will be too busy looking at the broad daylight.
Listen. There is no draft.
No one besides the Democrats wants to discuss reinstating the draft.
Let it go.
