There is quite a brouhaha in South Carolina politics this week as we let You Decide 2004. It’s all over a voter registration mailer that seems to suggest if you don’t vote, you might get drafted.
The United States has the largest volunteer military in the world. Mostly young people go to recruiting stations to either serve their country or reap the education benefits.
But mention a draft--and it gets a lot of people going. The democrats managed to do exactly that this summer.

I am in Wisconsin. Last week a teacher dropped the opinion that a draft would start in a few months. I believe this will be a new wide-spread scare message. If you here it remember that the only ones talking about the draft are Rangel (D) from New York and Conyers (D) from Michigan.
They target the minority students who are paranoid anyway. The weird thing is (not really) the legislation was created by the Democrats...Charley Rangel and his pals. But the kids don't know the congressional players so they are convinced it's the president and the Republicans.
That's how Kerry will get the youth vote.
