Debate is ongoing ...
JD Hayworth!
Wow, a Republican from Arizona! With that sock puppet governor they have, I was beginning to wonder about them.
Hahaha, CBS is being tuned out!
Buyer just ripped Kerry and Rather for their insinuation that Bush wants a draft!
Sexton (R-NJ) saying the Army has met 98% of its recruiting goal for all of 2004!
McHugh - bill has caused great anxiety... thanks to the rats and Rangel.
F. Democrats
"Sheila Jackson-Lee is up ... just said that voting this down doesn't mean there isn't a secret plan for the draft ... pathetic"
But the only way there can be a draft is if Congress passes it. What is she talking about? Is she saying Bush will assume dictatorial powers?
IIRC, Kerry was saying he supported drafting ALL able-bodied 19-26 year-olds.
If that did happen, we are talking about around 38 million* persons.
Why would we need a 'draft'/military of 38 million? The government could hard afford to even pay for that many 'soldiers'.
=======
Either the Dems are pushing this just to create an election situation, or they have some motive for needing a standing army of tens of millions.
If a real shortage existed, after 9-11, a Presidential call for enlistees would probably fill the need. Currently, most branches of the service have no problem filling their current needs.

* based on census data
Maybe Cheney will address this phoney issue tonight.
The Rat's scampaign is falling apart weeks before the election. Best to stamp out these lies now since some people are early voting (the Rats would rather get people to the polls before they lose confidence in Edwards/Kerry).
Rep. Charles Rangel DemoRat, NY---speaking now, claims responsibility for the bill.
Says the GOP will NOT support this bill BEFORE the election.
Rangel is a puss filled sore...
Voting commencing...
2 to 3 vote NO!!!
Quorum not there. Vote electronically next. Suspending rules. Whatever, it'll not pass.
Vote is starting ... electronic vote ... 15 minute vote ... first a 15 minute vote to suspend the rules and allow the bill to be considered ... then a 5 min vote to suspend the rules and approve the bill.
Well one draft that Kerry discussed was mandatory service from all high school students. Some would be compensated with college tuition but for others it would be unpaid service.
Duke told it like it is!..Great strategery against the lying dems....
Rangel, Charles aka Chucky "B" is purest form of BS. Ya could'nt find better six foot up a bulls butt than him..... These are the domestic enemies we have been warned about imo........
Executive order to approve her legislation that she claims is a secret plan. She's a lying Democrat. Nothing more needs to be said.
Yep.
Not without raising taxes. Fortunately, Kerry has that planned, too. :P
Yea 2
Nay 89
