Delay is speaking now ... attacking the 'Rats for their dishonest campaign on this topic
A draft to send men back to Mars.
So, they just play with legislation, is that it?
If they vote it down, they should have their salary yanked for colluding to bring down a sitting President with false legislation.
I want to see which RATS that supported this bill will not vote for it now. How can they defend their flip-flop?
Queen Sheila is one of the most ignorant human being on the plant and elsewhere!
Who's the Goron that allowed this to make it to the House floor?
"Sheila Jackson-Lee is up ... just said that voting this down doesn't mean there isn't a secret plan for the draft"
I have a friend with a psycho wife who sounds just like her. She sees secret plans in everything her husband and I do. Of course she still swears the Michigan militia brought the world trade center down.
here it comes
"The lack of proof is proof of how deeply entrenched the conspiracy is..."
CLEVELAND (AP Wirephoto) - Dem. Presidential
Candidate John Kerry (left) enjoys a refreshing
swim with his running mate John Edwards prior
to tonight's Vice Presidential Debate at Case
Western University.
Who is sponsoring this POS bill?
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.
Charlie Rangle's up with Ike Skelton!
Geez, did you really have to start the thread with Mz. Don't You Know Who I Am Jackson-Lee?
Thanks for the heads up on the session.
"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.

About time the Republican leadership fought back!
Everyone MUST watch the rebroadcast!
WE KICKED ASS TODAY & TOOK NAMES!
Expect Cheney to discuss later.
This should put to rest that silly rumor that the Republicans want to reinstate the draft. Will this vote total make the news? Will the MTV generation who are so scared of being drafted even hear about it?
Brilliant Move Republicans.
Bill is not passed!!!!
Motion to reconsider is on the table.
