OMG!!!! SUCH PROOF!

Really, can't we stop with this whole issue?

And the whole Bush Was Wired! thing too.

This tabloid stuff doesn't help anything.
If we want Bush out of office, we should do it honestly.

I think its a high possibility bush was wired, but even if he wasn't I don't like him one bit. No need to resort to conspiracy theories to make me dislike the man :smile:

not proof that Bush wants a draft, simply proof that a draft is on the table - ready to go when necessary/desired.

Proof both Bush and Kerry would gladly institute a draft if they determine that it won't cause irreperable harm to their political careers: Neither has said a single word about the abolition of the selective service. If you truly find the notion of a draft, which is by definition slavery, abhorrent, you'll have no problem eliminating the bureaucracy that makes sure a draft can be ready on a moments notice.

Are there no circumstances under which you would countenance a return of the draft? If yes, there are none, then fine you would get rid of the SS. I think that is a little foolish. I would rather be prepared for an emergency but that's all. It's cheap enough to be prepared. Actually, Qerry has proposed a draft. A national service draft. Not in response to an emergency but for.... something.....That was left unsaid.

No. The notion that a draft is in some cases acceptable presupposes that the government has a higher claim upon my person than I do. I find that deplorable.

The thirteenth amendment explicitly prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude. If the draft is not slavery/involuntary servitude then I don't know what is. If a foreign and unprovoked power is truly threatening America, I'm confident that the brave will be more than willing to defend Americans(note: not AMERICA, but AMERIC[ANS]). Maybe if we had a sane foreign policy that involved military non-intervention and economic free-trade, we wouldn't need a contingency bureaucracy in the event of a catastrophe. It's truly sad to think that of all the blood that has been spilled for this country since the Revolution, the War of 1812 and MAYBE World War II were the only two just wars. I might be wrong there but off the top of my head, that's about it.

He rescinded that, can't imagine why. Something to keep in mind if he's up for re-election in 08.

it seems to me like neither of those two douche-bags have really made any statements at all that might risk harm to their political careers (or public poll-driven likeability). actually, now that i think back on the debates, i don't really think either candidate has made much of stance at all on their actual policies.... do these guys even have policies, or do they wait until the men behind the shadows whisper into their ears? ...

Nope. I'm sure deep down alot of people also know something is wrong, however they seem to choose to ignore it, probably because it's just easier that way.

We have a choice, but not a good one. This sums it up nicely.
EDIT: damn link is dead. It was a clip of a southpark episode where they had a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

That article's about Diebold's electronic voting machines.

Diebold makes voting machines with no audit trail, and its corporate officers are strong Republican supporters.
This is bad for the legitimacy of the American vote - our machines must produce an audit trail, or they are vulnerable to being subverted.


However, saying that Diebold's electronic voting machines are pieces of shit is a long way from demonstrating that the American system is illegitimate as it is today.

If you do your homework you will find that there was a draft bill proposed by a few Democrats but it was shut down by almost every member in congress both Democrat and Republican. The reason it was shut down could be anything, but the bill was never changed or looked at in anymore depth so my assumption is that they all thought it was a ridiculous idea. If you want a source you should check out government websites... unless you think the government would lie about proposed bills also.
