Back during the height of the 2004 campaign season, Democrats were threatening American voters with a significant lie - that if George W. Bush were re-elected, he’d reinstate the military draft. I exposed the lying Democrats for just who they were then - claiming Bush would reinstate the draft while the Democrats, themselves, were the ones introducing legislation to bring back a draft.

Once again, it appears legislation will be introduced calling for a military draft. And once again, it’s a Democrat sponsoring the legislation.

Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 if the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee (Charlie Rangel) has his way.

You people have no shame. You lie to the youth in America with the threat that if Bush were re-elected there would be a draft… hoping to scare them into voting for Democrats. Yet, it’s the very same Democrats who then introduce draft legislation.

Damn shameful, hypocritical liars.

1. “Vice presidential candidate John Edwards promised a West Virginia mother on Wednesday that if the Democratic ticket is elected in November the military draft would not be revived.”

   Well, there you have it… Kerry/Edwards was not elected, so this is delayed Democratic retribution!

   The phrase, “elections have consequences” takes on a whole new meaning now, doesn’t it? The recent examples of the “Democratic leadership” should make a whole lot of folks wonder just what the heck they did on Nov 7th.

2. More of ol’ Charlie’s demagoguery. What Heilprin forgot to metion is that Rangel’s draft bill only received about 4 votes this year. And his was not one of them. Had nothing to do with a Republican led house. Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors.

3. Rangel to reinstate draft?

   Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the left oppose the draft during the Vietnam era? Considering that the left refers to Iraq as “Bush’s Vietnam”, I find it curious that they would now support something they once opposed so vehemently.

4. […] Of course, Rangel made this comment to bolster support for his legislation to reinstate the draft (remember, the draft Democrats threatened would result from a Bush re-election), but his comment instead bolsters the fact that Democrats just think poorly of our brave men and women in uniform. They see them as poor, ignorant children being manipulated by a scheming system. Nevermind such a stereotype has been thoroughly debunked, it goes to show how patronizing Democrats are to the military. […]
