Kerry and his campaign coordinators have been trying to turn any breaking news into a personal threat for millions of Americans. As we approach the election, the Kerry campaign is using scare tactics to try to frighten votes away from George Bush. They have tried to scare older citizens into believing that Bush is trying to steal their Social Security checks. The Kerry administration twists Bush's plans to a negative connotation, by using words such as "privatization" when describing Bush's future plans for Social Security. Many older Americans that are currently under the umbrellas of their social security checks are...

President Richard Nixon may have left office in disgrace, but his legacy continues to benefit the American people and year by year his reputation improves. Nixon championed the elimination of the draft in his 1968 campaign against Hubert Humphrey. As promised, forced service in the military ended in 1973 under Nixon's leadership. The era of volunteer service had begun. Today, U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-M.A.) warns that President George W. Bush intends to reinstate the draft. He does so in spite of Bush's stance that a draft would not benefit the military. He does so in spite of the fact...

Poll: Voters Concerned with Flu Vaccine and Draft Older Voters Concerned About Vaccine, Younger Voters Concerned About Draft Analysis By GARY LANGER Oct. 20, 2004-- - Older voters are more concerned about the flu vaccine and younger voters are more apt to trust John Kerry on the military draft-- two reasons Kerry has been pursuing both issues in his campaign against George W. Bush. How well either of these plays politically remains to be seen. Six in 10 likely voters are concerned about the vaccine shortage, but fewer, a largely partisan 27 percent, blame the Bush administration for it....

THE VILLAGES, Fla. (Reuters) - President Bush told senior citizens in Florida on Tuesday he was doing all he could to ensure they get flu shots and accused Democrat John Kerry of using scare tactics on issues like the vaccine shortage and Social Security. Shifting to domestic issues after launching an all-out attack on Kerry on Monday over the war on terror, Bush worked in the battleground state of Florida to defend his own record against Kerry's criticisms. "Instead of articulating a vision or a positive agenda for the future, the senator, my opponent, is relying on a litany of...

Draft question lingers in election By Ryan Green Published: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 The buzz on college campuses across the nation concerning a military draft has caused both presidential candidates to address the issue and accuse the other of leading the nation toward a draft. The Kerry campaign says a draft is possible because of Bush administration handling of the Iraq war - a unilateral policy that Kerry said has the United States bearing "90 percent of the casualties and 90 percent of the cost." Kerry also said Bush's lack of post-war planning will force a military draft. "We don't...

2004-10-19) -- Previously unseen documents released by the Kerry-Edwards campaign today reveal a secret Bush administration plan to draft the elderly into military service. "If George W. Bush wins this election, I warn you that he will kill two birds with one stone," said John Forbes Kerry, the Democrat presidential candidate. "He'll bail out Social Security by sending our nation's grandparents to the front lines in Iraq to die in the wrong war." Mr. Kerry, who is also a U.S. Senator, said, "Senior citizens are patriotic, plentiful and many of them still have their old military uniforms and vintage rifles...

WASHINGTON - John Kerry says re-electing President Bush would create "the great potential of a draft." Not so, responds the incumbent: "The best way to avoid the draft is to vote for me." The fact that both Bush and Kerry are on record opposing mandatory military service speaks volumes about the audience they're targeting with their dueling draft scares _ young voters. In an election where voter turnout is the great unknown, the voting rate and preferences of 18- to 30-year-olds may be the biggest wild card on Nov. 2. "One of the things that have been puzzling us is...

October 19, 2004FACT CHECKKerry Goes Beyond Some of Bush PositionsBy DAVID E. ROSENBAUM and DAVID M. HALBFINGER ASHINGTON, Oct. 18 - After weeks of facing attacks that his campaign and outside commentators called distortions, Senator John Kerry has begun criticizing President Bush on Social Security and the draft in a manner that reaches far beyond Mr. Bush's positions.Mr. Kerry may also have exaggerated the president's responsibility for the shortage of flu vaccine.On Social Security, Mr. Kerry said over the weekend that Mr. Bush planned a "January surprise" that could cost retirees up to 45 percent of their monthly checks. On...

OP-ED COLUMNISTFeeling the DraftBy PAUL KRUGMANPublished: October 19, 2004 hose who are worrying about a revived draft are in the same position as those who worried about a return to budget deficits four years ago, when President Bush began pushing through his program of tax cuts. Back then he insisted that he wouldn't drive the budget into deficit - but those who looked at the facts strongly suspected otherwise. Now he insists that he won't revive the draft. But the facts suggest that he will.There were two reasons some of us never believed Mr. Bush's budget promises. First, his claims...

Jay writes: "If I had to guess why Kerry started talking up the draft today, I would guess it is to scare up black Americans. Of all demographic groups in this country, they distrust George Bush more than anybody else. I think they are the most susceptible to that claim. What's more, the Democrats always pull such cheap scare tactics to get black voters out to the polls, e.g. that putrid James Byrd ad from 2000." This is in the context of Kerry still playing to his base. He was at a black church in Columbus, OH; a black church...

Military Mischief by Doug BandowDoug Bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan.John Kerry says that the Bush administration is heading towards a draft. Administration spokesmen say that's just an urban legend. Before going home to campaign, the Republican House voted against restarting conscription to quiet public fears. In fact, the draft deserves far more than one "nail in that coffin," as House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) put it. For three decades the U.S. has manned its armed forces with volunteers. America's military has grown steadily more potent. But...

They are sticking with the draft. Their new line is "there were no WMDs, so why wouldn't he lie about this." Of course she didn't have an answer to the fact that only the democrats have brought this up, but there it is. We need a commercial specifically addressing this - and pointing the the dems as the ones that brought the bills up. We cannot let the uninformed out there actually believe this bunk.

The possibility of a new military draft is not a hoax or an Internet rumor. It's a real issue and it demands real answers. more on; http://www.rockthevote.com/draft/

[It's ironic that Kerry makes accusations of the Bush Admin. bringing the Draft back when this was Kerry's plan the whole time. This was posted on the Kerry/Edwards site then removed when the Draft e-mail began to circulate. Young American's need to know who is really behind the draft issue. It is a democratic legislation that was recently killed in congress and this is Kerry's plan oulined for you below once he gets in office.] John Kerry Outlines Plan to Require Service for High School Students Part of 100 days Plan to Enlist One Million Americans in National Service A...

This is a e-mail I sent to a Washington Post reporter a few weeks ago who asked about my opinions on the draft. It was never printed. I am hoping now that maybe some people involved in the president's campagian could help spread this message: Dear Don, You E-mailed me earlier today about my opinions regarding the military draft. 1st off: My name is Andy Nevis, I'm 14 years old, and go to John F. Kennedy High School in Sacramento, CA. Here are the answers to your questions: 1. I am actually not very concerned about a return of a...

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - President Bush turned the tables Saturday on Sen. John Kerry, declaring "the best way to avoid the draft is to vote for me," and pledged to oppose mandatory military service. The Democrat stuck to domestic issues, blaming Bush for a shortage of flu vaccines. Kerry also opposes a draft and has suggested that re-electing Bush would greatly increase the prospects for one. The president, fearing that young voters will be swayed by the charge, fired back, "The person talking about a draft is my opponent." With new polls showing the race tied or Bush slightly ahead,...

Dear Voter, We just received an outrageous letter from the Chairman of the Republican Party, demanding that we stop talking about the issue of the military draft. He said that the draft issue is just an “urban myth” and Rock the Vote’s effort is being conducted with “reckless disregard for the truth.” The truth is that we still haven’t received acceptable answers from the candidates to real questions affecting our lives. The possibility of a draft is not a hoax. It’s a real issue that deserves real answers. An attempt to silence us by any politician—Democrat, Republican, Whatever—is unacceptable. This...
