"Collaborating???"

Oh, BTW, MTV clever to cite only Repubs. Hagel is ignorant, and was reacting to the press recycling the disinformation from the Dem proponents of the draft bill.

That is almost as bad as the radio ad that is running that says "Black voters, don't let Bush' slick ass con you"
Um...riiiight.

...so we have to vote out all the Democrats".

Ther Rock the Vote web site has quotes from Hagel and McCain in the first few paragraphs. Interesting.

Of course Kerry says he doesn't need the draft. He has no intention of fighting terrorism.

Dems to revive draft demand
Rep. Rangel and Sen. Hollings see new mood on Iraq
By Alexander BoltonKey Democrats in the House and Senate will renew calls for the military draft as part of a critical barrage they are preparing to launch against President Bush over the length of troop deployments and the heavy reliance on reservists in Iraq.
Military experts outside Congress say there is a political advantage to be gained by Democrats who want to make the president squirm at a time a growing frustration among military families and other Americans over the occupation.

as much as i hate to admit it...i do sometimes watch real world and some of the other garbage on MTV. the ads in between shows and the entire choose or lose specials are so overwhelmingly pro-kerry and anti-bush, it makes me sick to think that there is a whole generation (mine, im 25) that considers MTV and like sources to be accurate. these kids honestly think that MTV is giving them the "real story" that they cant get anywhere else, its no wonder that MTV is trying so hard to get these very same kids to vote.

It's not just the draft. Check the title and the text of
HR 163. It's National Service.

Ask Kerry & Edwards, who pretend to oppose the Draft, if
they also oppose National Service.
_____________________

Standard summary #4F:

Yes there are draft proposals, almost all Democrat,
such as HR 163, which is entirely Dem.

They have NOTHING to do with military manpower requirements.

As intended-to-fail proposals, they are straw men set up
so that Kerry+Edwards can promise to oppose them (even
though they probably support them - see below). When do
you need to worry about what Kerry's plans are on an
issue? When he takes a position, any position.

Bush already opposes draft proposals, but don't expect
the legacy media to tell you this. They also won't pass
either the House or the Senate, but Bush wouldn't sign
them if they did.

As serious proposals, "draft" revival proposals have
everything to do with Universal National Service -
stealing two years from every life, then 3, then 4,
and why stop there ...

And National Service has nothing to do with service.
It has everything to do with indoctrination of the slaves.
Which means that if the "progressives" ever get control
again, kiss your liberty goodbye.

From HR 163: "...or a period of civilian service in
furtherance of the national defense and homeland
security, and for other purposes."

"other purposes"

The Democrats would love to bring back slavery.
Egalitarian slavery, but slavery all the same
(except for their own kids, of course).

the Dims are pushing this idea because they know they're
constituents are moronic enough to buy it. For proof:

NEW HAVEN — A teenager has been arrested as the alleged gunman in a city man’s scheme to avoid being drafted by having himself shot in the leg.

Police arrested Alex Lowery, 17, whose last known address was 140 Hallock Ave., late Thursday on a warrant charging him with first-degree assault and weapons counts in connection with a June 24 shooting in the Hill.

Withdrawing from S.Korea etc. No draft needed.

There's plenty willing to volunteer, what draft fantasy are they trying to stir now?

Wow...some frightening comments on their site. My personal favorite:

Does anyone know the reason why we're at war?

Just my input...

And very impressive! You've got me beat, I am in the process of swaying my ex boyfriend to vote for President Bush.

He sent me an email the day after the Rather fraud hit- piece, saying..."well, I don't really like Kerry, but I watched 60 Minutes, and Bush ducked his service in the guard....they're both bad...yadda, yadda."

I am slowly but surely getting him to come around. Got an email from him today saying he's starting to see Kerry for what he is, and that Dan Rather is an idiot.

I just e-mailed them with a polite e-mail pointing out how Charlie Rangel, Democrat is the one that submitted the draft bill. I also pointed out how Don Rumsfield opposed it.

WE ALL NEED TO DO THIS.

The motivation is so transparent its laughable. We all know a military full of unwilling conscripts would be a paralyzed military. Rangel, Hagel and co. are rubbing their hands and licking their lips in anticipation of a new era of "Hell no, We won't go!" marches and riots.
