Thank GOD! BUT...will this matter? There are enough people soooo ill informed they ONLY believe rumors and conspiracy talk.

[rocksblues]

And the surprise is that either one/both of these losers will still bring it up in the next 4 weeks! LOL

[cynicom]

These cowardly politicians will get a chance to revisit the same issue within two years.

[Ed_in_NJ]

SPREAD THE WORD: The ONLY House members in favor of a draft are Demonrats!!!

"...There are enough people soooo ill informed they ONLY believe rumors and conspiracy talk."

That is true, the rumor will still float around even though the bill is defeated and it was proposed by Democrats in the first place.

CBS has been proved to have been duped again, this time by an anti-draft activist posing as a Republican mom.

Dan Rather either really does have the IQ of a six year old maroon or is a world class actor.

[Paladin2]

Rangel voted against! LOL

[SE Mom]

Thanks for posting this list- am c/p it for future reference:)

[Paladin2]

Whoops - now I see that Rangel WAS there but didn't vote - Coward.

[Chieftain]

Corrine is a SLACKER (didn't vote). She should be thoroughly trashed in the editorials especially since she raised all the stink about every vote counts!!

[Enterprise]

What was great was that not only was the hoax exposed, but so were the hoaxters. And to boot, dumbass hoaxter Rangel voted against his own hoaxie bill!

...Thank GOD! BUT...will this matter? There are enough people soooo ill informed they ONLY believe rumors and conspiracy talk....

It won't matter. Hopefully some of them will check into it a bit further out of fear.

Charlie Rangel. Ain't you got something better to do?

The old numbers don't apply anymore. You don't need 3 times as many troops as your enemy has to win. That's a good thing. But, it wouldnt be that way if we didn't spend the money on the technology we now have.

Anybody looked at Kerry's senate record lately?

[DTogo]

First gay marriage now the draft. Any other "sure losers" Congress would like to waste the taxpayer's money on, $1 trillion for government research into alchemy perhaps?

[bayourod]

Now how is Kerry going to add two more Army divisions and more special forces without a draft?

[reformedliberal]

Ping for draft hoax

[truth_seeker]

We be lacking diversity, looking these lists over.

[planekT]

So he WAS serious. hahaha

[jmstein7]

BUMP!
