it didnt rock shit.
everytime i'd get one of those "ROCK THE VOTE" or "VOTE or DIE" advertisements/e-mails it occured to me how out of touch all those so-called youth inspiring campaigns were.
they didnt inspire shit obviously. (17% turnout?)
they needed to be way more hardcore with those advertising tactics.
they needed like, a 19 year old college kid with a bullet through his head
in a football outfit-- something like that --something REAL.
instead we had half rate bands being like : "Dood, vote."

The President could never order a draft without congressional approval and the only members to try and start a draft bill were 2 democrats last month.
How foolish you are to believe these lies. It's all public record.
- ricstultz0
yeah... there will be no draft.
Just big talk and scare tactics on the menu.

pancakeweb, Democrats have been a leading proponent of brining back the draft because of the Neo-con world police shit.
When people's son's and daughters start dying, they care about issues. Maybe they'd realize how baseless and futile invading Iraq is and object to the war more. Our population is too apathetic to our meddling because of a paid volunteer army. Even an old hippy art teacher of mine who faught against the draft regrets it now.

I'm not exactly sure of the numbers but who cares if a million kids go out and vote in New York or California. Those states are going to be Democrat states either way. It would have been much more effective if they focused their efforts down south or in the mid west.
Of course thats assuming most youngin's vote Dem...

And yeah, I think we need a draft even though I'm eligible. Like I said, people wouldn't still think there is a Sadaam-9/11 connection or support war profiteering if they were prompteed toread into shit more.

Point taken, Fate.
Of the very people whos sons and daughters ARE dying. The National Annenberg Election Survey questioned active duty troops in the regular military and the National Guard and Reserves, as well as family members of active duty members. 69% of active duty family members voted for Bush.
I'm glad the Democrats care so much about this 'intellectual draft' that you speak of. Charlie Rangel didn't even vote for the draft bill he wrote. John Kerry never supported it, in fact he tried to use it against Bush.
Give it up. Interesting idea, but it goes 100% against what America is.

Pancakeweb. I don't know whether or not the recent introduction of HR 163 was just a partisan play or a legitimate response to reckless use of troops, but there are more people who share my point of view on the subject.

How does it go against what america "is" btw? I honestly do not see a draft for common defense of a nation against some deeply ingrained american ideal. What is that ideal, laziness? ;)
