They treat minorities as a gimmie vote and now are willing to use the draft as another "fear" card. This is will come back to bite them when they count the votes. If a Democrat votes for the draft, you seal your doom with sending kids to war. If you vote aganist, you show your party is incapable of serious discussion or any unity on serious issues.Obobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261733108326045809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-38191561072454594232006-11-20T16:14:00.000-06:002006-11-20T16:14:00.000-06:00Take this as the first clue of what America really...<i>Take this as the first clue of what America really recieved from their vote in November. It isn't what they wanted, but it is what we got.</i><br /><br />Um...what?<br /><br />Does this statement mean that you agreed with each and every position that was stated by the R's? No, because due to the sheer numbers of differences in opinions, to make that blanket statement of agreement would be intellectually dishonest - kind of like your statement.<br /><br />I don't support a draft and I never will. There's a reason that this got a bunch of press because it's so radical that it will never pass in either the minority OR the majority.<br /><br />I think what Rangel was trying to do was to draw attention to what he believes is a disproportionate number of poor and racial minorities. He was also raising the point that perhaps if everyone had skin in the game we wouldn't be as eager to invade nations without fully exhausting diplomatic efforts. <br /><br />But in case you had any misgivings about where a Democratic congress will lead, you may want to read the article with a bit less selectivity:<br /><i>In 2003, Rangel proposed a measure covering people age 18 to 26. <b>It was defeated 402-2 the following year.</b> This year, he offered a plan to mandate military service for men and women between age 18 and 42; it went nowhere in the Republican-led Congress.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-43260590193370103502006-11-20T11:39:00.000-06:002006-11-20T11:39:00.000-06:00Down with the draft!

I thought that voting for Bush in 2004 would get us all drafted... <br /><br />Now the Democratic congress wants to draft us all? <br /><br />HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!<br /><br />Seriously, most people could be vastly improved by military service, if not all, but this drafting thing is just all political B.S.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977090801334626461noreply@blogger.com
