The draft
Well, the Republicans have finally done it. They brought up for a vote a proposal to reinstate the Draft. Surely it must have been the warmongering Republicans who proposed this, right? The kids who got the Dem campaign flyers sure thought so. Our family friend who dropped our 14 year friendship because she thought our Republican leanings threatened the lives of her two sons also was hoodwinked by this. The truth?
The bill's sponsor was Charles Rangel, liberal democrat. The military doesn't want draftees, they like their committed, professional soldiers. The President doesn't want a draft. Republicans don't want a draft. We don't need a draft. It's just another dishonest trick to scare people into voting for dems.
Oh, it was defeated, 402 to 2. A close vote I guess.
