Who is sponsoring this POS bill?
I don't know, but I'll do the best I can from home. Murtha is saying we need more troops, and is comparing the current situation to the draft in 1940. I think he's (relatively) sincere, but we just don't need millions under arms in Iraq.
The Dems are the ones who are guilty of playing. They introduced the legislation to start up the draft to embarrass the president. It was stupid of them, but understandable when you consider the source.
Murtha D or R?
Good for the Repubs bringing this to the floor for a vote....all the rats are fleeing the draft boat..
Yes. Let 'em (the Dims) put their votes where their mouths have been.
Murtha is a D, but he's an old-school pro-defense D. I don't agree with his position on the draft, but he's an honest man who is a real supporter of the armed forces. He's from Pennsylvania.

Thanks.
Yes, I know.
That was my point.
Rangel isn't even going to vote for it.
Sure thing.
All of that is true, but on THIS issue, he has been carrying Kerry's water....bigtime.
It identifies them in the caption.:)
It better be, and the RATs had better be shut up by it.
Murtha is strongly advocating that we are in a war, and we all need to be involved with it. He doesn't think the Administration is asking for enough troops, and wants more troops. He believes everyone should serve in the military. He'll vote yes, and he doesn't like the fact that this bill is a political issue and is not being discussed seriously.
Shiela Jackson Lee was one of the co-signers to the legislation. SHE wants the draft, not the Republicans with some sort of "secret" plan to use HER legislation.
