Rangel Votes Against His Own Draft Bill!
October 5, 2004
Listen to Rush ( read from the latest Kerry-Edwards transcript on the draft rumor)
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
I've been saying that the mainstream press, particularly the Associated Press, acts as a transcript service. They're not a news service or a wire service. They're not out there reporting the news. They are a transcript service for the Kerry campaign. And the most recent example is the Democrats have got this rumor percolating out there that Bush has got a secret plan to reinstitute the draft, right? It's so untrue, and the opposite, if anything, is true, and it's been demonstrably shown to be true, and yet the mainstream press continues to report, AP or whoever. When they get this rumor of the draft going, they dutifully report it as a transcription service would.
And yet today, presidential politics took to the floor of the House. (story) Republican leaders trying to make a political point by decisively defeating a Democrat bill that would reinstitute a military draft. It's the Democrats, there are two Democrats that have reintroduced or introduced a bill to reinstate the draft. And they did it not because they want the draft, but for political reasons. They wanted to start the rumor. They wanted to get it out there. It was Charles Rangel's idea that the rich kids are not fighting while the poor kids are. And so he wanted to get the draft going to try to illustrate that.

"Rangel Votes Against His Own Draft Bill!"
This, of course, qualifies him to be a Kerry supporter.
Why New Yorkers keep voting that clown in is a complete mystery. Why people who fear a draft vote Democratic is also beyond reasoning. Even after this pathetic spectacle, there will be MILLIONS of people that are so ill informed that they'll think that the Democrats narrowly stopped Bush from reinstating the draft.
Like I said before, anyone stupid enough to believe in the draft is way too stupid to be in the service.
LIBERALS.... GET THIS!!!
YOU ARE TOO IGNORANT TO BE IN THE SERVICE!
GOT THAT?
Then shut the hell up!
Rangel probably believed the talking points faxed by his own party to the MSM. |
LOL

Hmmmmm. Kerry is contagious. Rangel voted for it before he voted against it.
This would make an excellent commercial for the Republicans. But they rarely take the opportunities that they are given.
What? Does the entire party have Votezheimers?
Priceless!!
Rangel's elevator doesn't stop of every floor.

Any history buffs out there know for sure?
