Link (Thanks, Ian Meyer!) UPDATE: Satirista sez "AP is now saying the article was a "test article" (WTF?) that was "inadvertently" picked up by WBAY.

They were trying to vote for Pat Buchanan.
"Democrat Rangel who drew up that bill and who later voted against his own bill. Disgusting Democrat political ploy."
Why, seems to be SOP there- to vote for something before voting against it, to submit the bill (supposedly supporting it) and then vote against... I see a pattern. Now: did rangel pick it from kerry or kerry from rangel? Which came earlier: an egg or a chicken?
hmmm. you would think WBAY would be smart enough to know the election is about 24 days away...smart, real smart.

On 1/7/03 Charles Rangel Democrat introduced H.R. 163, the Univeral National Service Act of 2003, requiring "all young people ages 18-26 to complete some form of national service" and reinstate the draft. So out of 435 members in the House, only 14 would co-sign all Dems. So it was sitting there until some time last week, I think, and a republican forced a Vote on it and it died. But it was all Democraps that conjured this thing up so it was out there and rumors flew around which was the intent all along to undercut the Bush Admininstration. I think it was soley for the Demorats to get an edge, didnt matter who was running.
