If it's bad enough to suspend habeus corpus, maybe it's time for a draft?

If we are under such a dire threat, then maybe it's time to get serious about it. Maybe it's time to repeal all the tax cuts and re-instate the draft. After all, many of the military experts are saying we need more troops in Iraq. No use to go about this half-ass. If we are truly in a "war", then we should start to get serious about it. Get some of those wealthy children into Baghdad. I'm sure the war would end much quicker with them on the frontline. Don't you think?

1. When pigs fly. When Halliburton loses a contract bid.
Then will the RepubliNazis test their base with a draft.

3. That would be the death of thousands more
and wealthy kids or not, no one should die because of someone else's vindictiveness. Wealthy or not, there's no satisfaction in their dying.

5. Bring BACK THE DRAFT! And while we are at it let's get to work on
Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 09:48 PM by KoKo01
those Nuclear Plants Bush and Congress have approved. Man...they are dragging their heels on that one. Let's do away with Womens Rights and bring back Slavery while we are at it.

Those Repugs....they really know how to govern, don't they? They are winners all the time. Powerhouses. Know how to GOVERN! I'm looking for kids in my family to send to the Jesus Camps, too. I'm going to give them all plane tickets to get out there so that they can cry for the RAPTURE....I'm going to give the tickets as Christmas Presents...

6. Not only the draft but make it law that companies have to stop
production of the goods they make and only make goods for war.....

Make the population start rationing everthing....

That is....if we are at war.....

The Republicans are afraid of their own shadows.....The Big Dawg prooved that.....

7. I think
That buying into the idea that things are that bad and more people must die is evil.

Things are not that bad, it's just that the assholes who stole the election are incompetent fools who know nothing else but death and destruction as a solution to perceived ills.

And it is sad that some follow right along in their wake. A draft? Nay. Eliminating most of the military is a far better solution.

8. How dare you suggest putting my children out there to prove your theory.
Don't you realize that many DU'ers have children who would be among the first to go?

Didn't Vietnam teach your anything? 50,000 dead Americans -- 35,000 AFTER a draft -- prove you are WRONG. A draft won't stop Bush. It will just give him more fodder for the war machine.
