Update: I've contacted, by email, every major U.S. News Network to try and get this out... I suggest you all, if you are against another draft, do the same as well as contacting your representatives.

You'd better secure your airfare to Canada posthaste, Slaughter. The exodus will begin soon!
Read closer Palooka, that won't even work this time around.
I'm gonna buy a boat.
Right you are. I missed that paragraph when I skimmed the article.
I like that..."the administration is quietly trying to get these bills passed now, while the public's attention is on the elections, so our action on this is needed immediately."
Hook, line, and sinker, Slaughter.
Wow, that kind of looks like a government site, but it's a cesspool of liberal screeds.
Click on the "president and vp" link on the upper left and hold your nose before you read anything else.
It's not a government site. Only designed to look like one.
I don't think there is any chance of this passing.
BTW, this bill was sponsored by Charlie Rangel - an ultra-liberal Democrat from NYC.
That they're obviously trying to trick the reader should sound a big fat alarm in your head.
Yeah, I know. The draft bill is not a case of the president trying to "put one over" on the country. It's a bill sponsored by anti-Bush types, who want to stir more opposition to Bush by threatening the draft.
ROFL!! :emblaugh:
Hey Slaughter... you get that 'gullible' tattoo yet? ;) Do you honestly think if these bills were legit and going to be voted on that the liberal media wouldn't hold a 2 hour prime time special to slam the Bush administration for it?
I think this is a perfect example how so many of the 'general' public can fall for, and propagate, the most basic levels of misinformation, generalization, and flat out lies. "Sheeple" The exact reason why Scary has a very good chance of winning the election this fall.
Military service should be mandatory for all. It's a great character builder. Even if it's in just a reserve component. 2 years goes fast. AND, you build a nation of reserves that way. We'll need 100,000,000 soldiers fro when China invades.
I don't think a mandatory service program is necessarily a bad thing and it would better prepare the nation for "unexpected events".
But who's going to pay for it?
