In an effort to kill rumors being spread by chickenshit liars in the Democratic Party, the United States House of Representatives yesterday voted 402-2 against a bill that would reinstate the military draft. The bill was authored by New York Congressman Charlie Rangel, a Democrat, and was originally intended to be a protest against the Bush Administration's policy in Iraq. But Rangel, when faced with the reality of having to vote for his little stunt, voted against his own bill, saying:
"It is a prostitution of the legislative process to take a serious issue and use it for political purposes on the eve of the election just to say they are against the draft."Pure chutzpah, Charlie. Your party, which is full of Moore-ons, Movers-on, and fucking traitors, has been sending out e-mails, flyers, and ---for all I know--- winos in sandwich boards to warn college-aged kids that Bush is going to reinstate the draft if he gets re-elected. It's a big lie and you and Baghdad Jim McDermott and the other lying turds know it, too.
I am a pretty well-read political junkie and not once in the past three years of this war against the Islamofascists have I ever heard any Republican or member of the Bush Administration or any member of the Department of Defense or any active-duty officer in the United States military even suggest that we should reinstitute the draft. On the contrary, I have heard these very same people explicitly and convincingly describe the superiority of the current system of an all-volunteer force. And this would be in every aspect of the troops' morale, desire, sense of duty, and disposition to make the kinds of sacrifices necessary.
I am a colleague of a man who is a 12-year veteran of the US Army and who served in the Gulf War ---and he is working hard and planning to re-up. His sense of duty to himself and his country is what drives him, as is the case with many other such men. The modern military wants the best ---and that's what they get when they accept men and women who want to prove that they are the best.
The Democratic Party are a lot of cut-throat liars and smear-artists. But don't expect them to stop what they're doing anytime soon. They've got an election to try to steal ---let 'em at it.
