Total Disrespect
Why is John Kerry suggesting that President Bush has a plan to reinstate the draft after the election? Kerry is a despicable sack of shit for raising this phoney issue. Period.

Answering a question about the draft at a forum with voters in West Palm Beach, Fla., Kerry said, "If George Bush were to be re-elected, given the way he has gone about this war and given his avoidance of responsibility in North Korea and Iran and other places, is it possible? I can't tell you."

Of course he can tell you. No one in this Administration or in the Pentagon has advocated the reinstatement of the military draft. On the contrary, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Myers and many other leaders of our armed forces have explicitly made the case against the draft and for the superiority of the all-volunteer military. Kerry knows this, but wants to insinuate to young men in this country that a vote for Bush is a vote for the draft.

During the build-up to the Gulf War, I was a 21 year-old college student. A lot of people in the Congress who were opposed to that war ---like John Kerry, who voted against it--- did everything they could to sabotage Bush the Elder's efforts to evict Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. And one of the spectres they raised was to suggest that we were going to have to reinstate the draft. You know what? Practically every one of those assholes was a Democrat. These assholes knew that there was no chance of that happening, but they wanted to score political points against the President. And guess what? Asshole Democrats are still doing it. Here's Charlie Rangel:

The New York Democrat told reporters his goal is two-fold: to jolt Americans into realizing the import of a possible unilateral strike against Iraq, which he opposes, and "to make it clear that if there were a war, there would be more equitable representation of people making sacrifices."

"I truly believe that those who make the decision and those who support the United States going into war would feel more readily the pain that's involved, the sacrifice that's involved, if they thought that the fighting force would include the affluent and those who historically have avoided this great responsibility," Rangel said.

"Those who love this country have a patriotic obligation to defend this country," Rangel said. "For those who say the poor fight better, I say give the rich a chance."

All Charlie's doing is race-baiting. A real surprise.

But Kerry and Rangel aren't the only ones pulling this stunt. Baghdad Jim McDermott, the ultra-Leftist loser from Washington state, has done the same.

The United States is defended by the greatest military machine in the history of the world. Part of what makes it such a success is the fact that those who serve in our armed forces have chosen to do so out of love of country and a desire to make a real difference in the world and for themselves and their families. Playing politics like this is despicable.

I have no respect for John Kerry or his asshole Democrat friends in Congress who are proposing to reinstate the draft for their own partisan reasons.
