LOL!!! I was wondering when the Republicans were going to do this... no better way to put the draft rumor to rest is to pull Rangel's bill out of committee (where it has sat untouched for over a year and a half) and put it on the floor for a vote.

Ayes - 14 (all Socialists)
Nays - 421

Bill is DEAD.

Hey all, about this bill and the urban legend and email circulating about it.
We should use it to our advantage.
Rather than saying "it's not true" or "it's been debunked" we should explain the situation. Rather than throwing away the Democrat spin like a hot potato, untwist it:

This is a real pending bill, yes. But President Bush does not support it and would not sign it. It is sponsored entirely by Democrats, and John Kerry -- if elected -- is the one who would sign this Democrat bill into law.

Done.

My fear on a draft is that it will seriously attract riff raff to the military. A all volonteer froce get a lot higher percentage of motivated young people who want to be there not someone who has to.

No way this passes.

I heard Rangel brought this up so as to stir up folks against the Iraq War.

I find it hard to believe they would try to bring it up for a vote, but the RNC can always use the ammunition. Could it be that the Dims couldn't keep the committee from putting it out for a vote? In your face, Rangel!

That's the point!! Since the MSM (CBS) has not done anything but promulgate the lie about President Bush bringing back the draft, the Repubs are doing it for them!!

This is absolutely brilliant!
