Well, actually, she "does" mention them. She just fails to point out that they are sponsored and cosponsored solely by Democrats.
Well Cynthia, stupid bitch, Kerry's advocating a massive expansion of the Army and SpecOps. Who is more likely to reinstate the draft?
She isn't worried about this, though, is she:

Kerry said towards the end of the debate:
"As president, I will expand our Army by 40,000 troops so that we have more soldiers to find and fight the enemy. I will double our Army Special Forces capacity. And we will accelerate the development and deployment of new technologies to track down and bring down terrorists."
I also recall Kerry saying that he would deploy troops to Africa, and Bush countered that he is working the African National Congress to provide troops instead of Americans.
Would Kerry require a draft to expand the military to this extent?

Notice that there is no mention of the fact that those bills are both written and exclusively supported by DEMOCRATS!
One good reason for the anxiety is "draft scare" articles in college newspapers (the UMASS Daily Collegian had one last week), and a mass mailing effort by the Democrats to target college email addresses alleging that the President wants a draft.
Fear of conscription continues to float just below the surface because so many voters understand somewhere in the backs of their minds that Bush's military plans simply don't add up.
Gee, I wonder where that idea came from?
A Pentagon advisory board recently issued a report stating the patently obvious: The U.S. military won't have enough troops in coming years to meet its continuing war and peacekeeping obligations. And respected military analyst Michael O'Hanlon has written, "The Army — and perhaps the Marine Corps, as well . . . needs an immediate increase in active-duty troop levels."
Didn't I just read that all the armed services have met their recruitment goals? I thinkt the National Guard was the exception.
It is not possible to keep nearly 140,000 troops in Iraq — as the president's oft-stated "resolve" dictates — while also continuing missions in the Balkans, following through on long-term commitments in Europe and confronting new threats in North Korea and Iran. (Some analysts have argued that the United States needs to add more troops to Iraq to provide the security needed for elections there.)
As we all know, the "long term commitments" in Europe are being dismantled by the President, freeing up soldiers for real duty, the Euroweenies can handle the Balkans, since they have no investment in Iraq (add the Sudan to that list too!), and North Korea and Iran are being handled diplomatically, not militarily.
It is Kerry who wants to put 40,000 more soldiers in Iraq NOW, and the predictable attrition rate increases from the armed services in the event of a Kerry win in November make a draft inevitable.
Americans concerned about a draft ought to worry that Kerry might win!!
Charles Rangle, Jim McDermott, John Conyers, Jim Moron, and Fritz Hollings are of what party? The JACKASS party!
hahahhahhahahahahha

"For several months now, e-mails from an unknown source have warned that President Bush plans to reinstitute the draft if he wins a second term."
Unknown, my rosy red irish arse! How about the dems, sweety pie?
S 89 Bill sponsored by Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC) in early 2003, read once, no further action. HR 163 sponsored by Charles Rangel (D- NY 15th Dist.) and cosponsored by: John Conyers (D-Mich. 14th Dist.), Jim McDermott (D-WA 17th Dist.), Neil Abercrombie (D-HI 1st Dist.), Fortney Pete Stark (D-CA 13th Dist), John Lewis, (D-GA 5th Dist.), Corinne Brown (D-FL 3rd Dist.), William Lacy Clay (D-MO 1st Dist.), James P. Moran (D-VA 8th Dist.), Sheila Jackson (D-TX 18th Dist.), Eleanor H. Norton (D-DC), Nydia M. Belazquez (D-NY 12th Dist.), Alcee Hastings (D-FL 23rd Dist.)HR was read the same day as S 89, then once again. It has been referred to two subcommittees and no further action has been taken since early 2003.
Anyone like to hazard a guess as to WHY they wrote and sponsored these bills? I'll give you two guesses and the first one doesn't count.
This woman is so silly. The only one's who are talking about a draft are the democrats themselves. Any lie they can throw out there, they will. No use trying to email this knee padder.
Thank you. I can't believe this woman is so stupid.
This entire draft issue (and bill in Congress) is a creation of the Dems trying to undermine support for the war in Iraq.
Ms Tucker, I challenge you to prove your wild, unsubstantiated claim. Put up or shut up.
Why are they suppressing them? I know because they these communists want to destroy America from the inside out. I for one and the rest of the FREEPERS will go down keeping that from happening. These Communists led by Hanoi john and Hitlery want to raise our children in a manner that will change America. They will undermine Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa and turn America into Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia. The Democrats put these Bills in not the Republicans.
