For everyone who hasn't gotten it yet...
Mark my words, when the Dems win in 2008 remember the main word that you will hear out of the REPUBLICONS mouths will be DRAFT. They will not say it now because they know that the country will be in an uproar about it. They are starting any and every conflict possible all over the world so that they can beat the drums for the DRAFT over the Dems head.

When you ask them now they say I see no need for it but Mc Cain and all of the repugs keep saying how we need 20,000,30,000 or whatever number they want to drop out of their hats. Then when you say where do you get them from they spill out some dribble non answer,and change the subject.

5. This will be used in their talking points...
and the repugs won't care, they are setting up the situation right now. Everytime you hear them say we need more troops, or bush says he will recruit more troops, their other point is they want to give illegal immigrants legal status to fight the upcoming wars but they won't take their asses over there to fight it.

They have moved troops from other areas and they still don't have enough. They will begin discussing it after they lose the election. They will say we need more troops, they know it now and they know they will need a draft because their are so many conflicts brewing and they can't fight the whole world, they can't even control what is going on now.

9. There will be a lot of smirking going on...
when they start bring up this point on Hannity and o'lielly. Because they want the Dems to be the ones to say we need a draft, or for them to be the party that calls for it.

7. Here's an idea ....
Activate the draft (include females) and DEFER anyone who voted in the last General Election.

Thus, people who vote get a deferment. People who don't vote get drafted.

:evilgrin:
