The past month the Democrats have been exclaiming that under Bush a Draft will be reinstituted, as early as May they claim. E-mails were sent out to thousands of college students claiming that they would soon be subject to a Draft if Bush is re-elected. John Kerry has alluded to this same thing over the course of his speeches. The idea, naturally, is to put the fear factor in draft-age voters, hoping that this will scare them into voting for Kerry.
In the third debate George Bush was asked this question about re-constituting the Draft. He unequivocally stated that there would be no Draft - zero - nada.
But this doesn't stop Kerry from mouthing off the Democrat lies. The Des Moines Register today quoted Kerry: "With George Bush, the plan for Iraq is more of the same and the great potential of a draft."
Kerry purposely leaves out the point that Democrats Charles Rangel and Fritz Hollings were the ones who put a bill into Congress to bring back the Draft. No Republican did this.
But Kerry, being the unscrupulous twit he is, who will say anything for a vote, is fear-mongering in the best traditions of a corrupt & ideas-bankrupt Democrat Party. He has no compunction in scaring college-age voters into his column.
Fear-mongering is not new with the Democrats. Scaring people is a useful tool for them. They scared people into believing Goldwater would start a nuclear war, that Reagan would have his hand on "the button", that Republicans would take away social security from the old folks, that Republicans would end aid to children & on & on & on. Every election the Democrats repeat the same lies. They can't rely on their own ideas for success so they use scare tactics. If ever a political party had kinship to the Nazis & Communists in their use of fear-mongering, it is the Democrat Party.
