Who was saying he was going to try to instigate the military draft this morning on one of the talk shows?

Yes the President will veto it.  The Military does not want people that don't want to be there.

Draft dodgers?  I know of a very infamous wannabee leader of a nation who pulled all kinds of strings and family connections to avoid being sent to Vietnam.  What gets me is those so-called patriots who backed him up actually called a Vietnam veteran a traitor.  Calling glass Bushes...........come in......glass Bushes......

Kerry: "I voted for the 85 billion before I voted against it." = FLIP FLOP\n\nKerry: "I support our troops...the US military shouldn't be terrorizing women and children in the dark of night." = FLIP FLOP\n\nKerry: "...if you get a good education you'll do OK.  Otherwise, you'll end up in Iraq.....I wasn't talking about the military I was talking about Bush." = FLIP FLOP

Think before he acts/speaks... maybe consult with other republicans before he makes large decisions (like ports, harriet meyers)... "Have pitty on the working man" Randy Newman

I'm not a fan of the draft, but I do like the part of his bill about a mandatory 2 year service period for everyone.  According to his proposal, you could do your two years in the military, mentoring youth, and stuff like that.  That's actually a pretty good idea, but it'll never pass.

He was going to, He voted for it before he voted against it......\n\nKerry is only a regular to his military/America hating left wing "fan" base. He is an idiot

I only listened to a little of his speech.  I thought that, overall, he is very conciliatory.  What was very concerning for me is the thought that the Democrats will in the next three to four years find a way to pull out of Iraq and leave it to chaos and eventual rule by Jihadists.  Unlike Vietnam, Jihadists are able and willing to attack us at home in the US.  Their goal is to convert or kill every man, woman and child. I don't want that fighting here.  I think it's time for me to take up shooting sports.

He had SOMETHING under his coat.  I am thinking it was a wireless radio transciever.  I too wondered WTF it was.  He had to be cheating in the debates.  There is no way with his cocaine addled dry drunk brain, he could function with Karen Hughs telling him what to say from the wings.

Nope.  He gave his word that he would join ROTC in collage, but then changed his "mind."  He lied..What a shock!!\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nA complete account of Clinton's elaborate draft-dodge:  \n\nEighteen-year old Bill enters Georgetown University and registers for Selective Service, as required by law. His status as a full-time student earns him a deferrment. \n\nIn his senior year, Bill receives a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford University. \n\nIn February of 1968, the Federal Government eliminates draft deferments for graduate students and Bill once again becomes eligible in March of that year. \n\nClinton subsequently, though family and political connections, obtains a Navy Billet from the local naval reserve unit and temporary draft protection from the Garland County Draft Board, allowing him to start at Oxford - special treatment that was not uncommon for Rhode's Scholars of the day. \n\nClinton completes his first term at Oxford in December, 1969, and is ordered to report for a physical in January, which he did. \n\nIn April 1969, Bill was ordered to report for induction. However, delays in International mail delivery resulted in Clinton receiving his orders after the induction date had passed. By this time, he had begun his second term at Oxford. Regulations allowed him to complete the term, but he must report for induction by July 28, 1969. \n\nOnce again utilizing extensive political connections, Clinton gets accepted into the University of Arkansas ROTC program on July 17, nullifying his draft notice. Clinton would not have to enroll until he completed basic training the following year. \n\nIn the fall of '69, Clinton opts to return to Oxford, rather than enroll in the University of Arkansas Law School. While at Oxford, Clinton contacts the draft board to drop his ROTC deferment and return to active status. By this time, regulations had changed, allowing graduate students to complete their schooling before reporting for military duty. Clinton had a high enough draft number to virtually ensure he would not be called. \nWhile his conduct may have been immoral and was undoubtedly unethical, it was not illegal under the laws at that time and, thus, the conclusion drawn that he was the first pardoned criminal to serve as President is fallacious. He craftily manipulated the system, but he had the proper and legal right to do everything he did. He was never AWOL, never guilty of failing to report, was never a criminal under public law and, thus, was not among those pardoned by President Carter in 1977.

Didn't see it, I wasn't home, have to catch up with what happened on the news tonight, thanks for telling us...bye...ok I'm editing this question to let you know I heard about the press conference...he wants to keep our troops there for years and says that the next president will decide when to bring them hope...how do you feel about this?...I personally am angry...

Democrat (singular), to date I have only heard Charles Rangel propose this. I wouldn't worry because no one is actually going to support this. Liberals hate the military, so that leaves them out. Moderate Democrats are now and always have been opposed to drafts. Republicans have sponsored an all volunteer service for many years now. Write this off to more of Charlie's lunatic fringe mentality and stop worrying. Additionally thanks to you, your husband and your family for the sacrifices you are making to this great land of ours.

These decisions aren’t made overnight and the candidates for such jobs are notified well in advance of the decision.  There have been a few questions of late about the reason FOX News has been leaning away from unbiased reporting and more to the right.  The decision to appoint Mr. Snow answers those questions.  Mr. Snow has been promoting himself for the job for several weeks.  KLIF talk radio is Dallas’ right wing propaganda station (every major city has one) and if you go to the FOX 4 web-site, you’ll see the KLIF banner on the lower part of the page.\n\nI watch all four local news stations and, although because of where I live most news slants toward the right, FOX 4 is the least reliable.  That’s why I also read the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, and USA Today.  The BBC is also a good place to get reliable news.  MSNBC and NBC are also right wing biased.  This has to do with Jack Welch’s (former MSNBC CEO) and Bill Gates' affiliation with the Republican Party.\n\nUsing George Stephenopolous as an example is irrelevant.  Mr. Stephenopolous does not control the content of the news and is simply perusing a career in the private sector as an extremely qualified political analyst after his tenor in politics verses Mr. Snow who was very much in charge of content and biding for a career in politics.\n\nTaking all these facts into consideration, when a report is unfavorable to the right, I take those stories at face value as being accurate.

I would sure listen to him very closely. We already know what the Republicans and Democrats are going to say, and we don't even know who the candidates are. We do know they will tell us they are all about 'family values' ( what does that mean, chasing underage page boys, or doing an intern with a cigar when your wife isn't looking?).  I always liked Mr. Barkley for speaking his mind, even if I didn't always agree with him.

The Republicans and Conservatives have been whining so much about "getting the job done right" and really pumping up the military approach, yet, when someone says, "OK, that means, though, we'll have to have a draft", the weenies run scared.  Remember also, this Congress is still Republican.  It won't be controlled by Democrats until January.  Wouldn't it be a good idea if only the kids of the people who vote a President in who sends us to war actually had to get drafted?  There'd be a lot less Republican wars that way. Just FYI, here's what Rangel seems to be up to again:\n\nRep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said Sunday he sees his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching wars.\n"There's no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way," Rangel said.\nRangel, a veteran of the Korean War who has unsuccessfully sponsored legislation on conscription in the past, has said the all-volunteer military disproportionately puts the burden of war on minorities and lower-income families.

Bob Casey!!\n\nSantorum made a fool of himself these last couple years. His idiot comments, his delusions on the Iraq war, the list goes on and on.
