rangel proves that the dems are slime
Rangel insisted that a new draft should be fair, with people from every part of society coming to a national public service.
Rangle would re-start the draft just to prove Kerry was right.
Think peace activists will still vote for him?
But why have a draft if you aren't going to send them anywhere?
Greg, a Democrat financial expert on FOX, said that the Dems would cut the military budget. It was a statement that was neatly tucked in amongst some others, and if you weren't paying attention, would have missed. I had a flashback to the Clinton years. It was more like a nightmare.

"Once the pubic says that there is no place for a military victory, we have to find some way to take our young men and women out of harm's way."
Once the "pubic" says??? Okay, who's sending this to Leno for "Headlines"? And how idiotic and defeatist is this clown? Since when does the public decide whether or not a military victory is possible???
"I truly believe that if we had a draft system, we would never have our men and women in Iraq. Everyone wants to fight with someone else's children."
I am so sick of Dems calling our servicemen and women "children". Last time I checked, they were all adults. Adults who CHOSE to serve this nation through the armed forces. I realize that most democrats can't grasp that concept; they assume our military personnel must be poor and ignorant with no other options. And Rangel's suggestion to reinstate the draft speaks volumes about his desire for the U.S. to fail. Send over people who are already demoralized and see how quickly they are defeated. I guess if you're Charlie Rangel, that's fine with you. And the idea that we'll not enter into other conflicts if we're using the draft just shows that he has no desire for us ever to step up again. I guess he wants us to be the new France. We look out for ourselves and ourselves only. Nice. I don't know if Rangel has any sort of security detail, but if so maybe it will be the first crew of government employees to take the neutral approach.
"It doesn't make sense to be increasing people's taxes unless it's part of a bigger package," Rangel said, while refusing to pledge he would not raise taxes."
Wow! How many ways can a Dem say they won't raise taxes while meaning that they will raise taxes? He must be taking lessons from ol Flip Flop Kerry...'I was for the taxes until I was against the taxes." HAHAHA
I know that this is probably not a popular sentiment here, but I agree with Charlie on this one. I have felt for years that while we have a great military we have military that is alien to much of America. I realize I don't know everyone, but I honestly do not know or do I know anyone who personally knows someone serving in the military, and my guess is I am not unusual. That is not a good situation.
My email to ABC news:
Please pass this on to SUNLEN MILLER. Thank you.Dear Sir/Madam:
Some factual errors in your article, "What Would the Democrats Do?"
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/print?id=2624565- You wrote, "Rangel is currently the ranking member on the House Ways and Means Committee."
Last I knew, Mr. Rangel was a Democrat. Therefore he is the ranking MINORITY member. Although I'm sure he appreciates your dropping the word minority.
- You wrote, "If Democrats pick up six seats in next week's crucial midterm elections and gain the majority, Rangel would become chairman of the committee."
Mr. Rangel serves in the House of Representatives which is currently lead by the Republicans. If the Democrats pick up six seats in the House on Tues, Nov 7, Mr. Rangel's position will not change as the Republicans will still lead the House. Perhaps you are confusing the House of Representatives with the Senate where a six seat pickup will make a difference.
Thanks for your attention.
BS&W. The upper classes will never allow their children to be drafted. The contempt that John Kerry showed for the common soldier is typcial of them. What he is saying is the military option is now off the table.
Well, hells bells. If Rangle wants to reinstate the draft, that ought to get a whole bunch of liberals riled up. I have one relative who is a far-left liberal who would come unglued if she thought her son could be drafted. She's one of those who says she supports the military, but not their missions, and has said that she would NEVER ALLOW her children to join our military.
I wonder if the fact that 2 monnths after I turned 17, I enlisted in the Navy, and in 1970, BEFORE I turned 18, I was in Vietnam, might have had someting to do with it? Hmmmmmmmm?!?!?!?!?

Is the Workers World Party really enemies of America? You decide:
(from the website of the Workers World Party (workers.org) :
"On July 9 (1994), Workers World Party Chairperson Sam Marcy sent the following statement to Comrade Kim Jong Il, the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea and the State Funeral Committee of President Kim Il Sung.":
"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il... Comrade Kim Il Sung devoted his whole life to the Korean people's struggle for national self-determination and the international working-class struggle for socialist emancipation. With his leadership, the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine....
Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. And it is with the most profound sense of loss that we mark his passing. Yet it is also with the greatest revolutionary optimism that we are confident that Comrade Kim Il Sung's legacy will live on with your efforts to win new victories for the Korean people.... With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party": http://www.workers.org/marcy/cd/sam94/1994html/s940721.htm
My comments: Troops Out Now is the latest front for the Workers World Party. See Yahoo search results for "Workers World" + "Troops Out Now" : http://tinyurl.com/h397j
Here are a few not-so "anti-war" statements from the "anti-war" Workers World Party front, Troops Out Now. (clarifications within parenthesis were inserted by myself. a link to the original source is included at the end of the statements-LC) :
TROOPS OUT NOW: "It is time for the antiwar movement to acknowledge the absolute and unconditional right of the Iraqi people to resist the occupation of their country without passing judgment on their methods of resistance.(i.e., it's ok to saw the heads off of captured and bound hostages while they beg hopelessly for their lives, or to car bomb tens of freedom-seeking Iraqis at a time while they line up to join the police force or cast votes in the country's first ever free election. Even dragging school teachers out of a classroom and shooting them before the terrified eyes of their little students is cool with us. [this actually happened btw]-LC)....their statement continues... "Even the founding charter of the United Nations clearly affirms the right of an occupied people to resist by force of arms."
"We need to demand the immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. occupation troops from Iraq."(what good commie doesn't want a Russian-backed Iran to gain control of Iraq?-LC)
"We must support politically, morally and organizationally members of the U.S. armed services who are resisting the war, moreover, we must encourage this resistance."
"There must no longer be any hesitation on the part of our movement regarding our support of the struggle of the Palestinian people to free themselves from occupation.(in other words, blowing up innocent civilians at restaurants and shopping malls is just fine with us-LC) As a movement we have made a huge step forward in this regard. There must be no turning back."
"We must work to facilitate the widest unity between all of the forces that are seriously organizing against the war and occupation."
