I don't really have to defend myself against Toro, of course. He's just here to raise crap...another worthless Republican spinner who'd whore out his own daughter if he thought he could make enough money to by Georgie a gram or two of cocaine.

"Bush supporter!"

That is why the Democrats are trying to have the draft reinstated. They are the ones who keep bringing it up.

That's an interesting turn of events. I've found many links talking about that topic such as here, and here, but it doesn't seem like such a black and white issue though. This article is kina interesting:

The Draft is Not a Republican vs. Democrat Issue
In January, 2003, we wrote about draft proposals pending in Congress. This was after Charlie Rangel and John Conyers, both Democrats, came out for a draft, apparently under the assumption that if the kids of rich congresspersons and senators had to serve, Congress would vote against any war. (Of course, who knew back then that Bush would decide on his own to declare war against Iraq?) Following Rangel and Conyers, Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC) introduced a companion version of their bill in the Senate. In April, 2004, Republican Senator Chuck Hagel endorsed a reinstatement of the military draft.

Well I am sure you can find a few Republicans that support a draft. I did not read the articles however.

But... it is a Democratic ploy and tactic to scare people and give the Administration more heat.

You may want to read Revs jerking off in public theories then, or is he immune because of synchronized ideology?

Get this straight for the LAST time. Anybody who starts making personal insults is going to be banned for a day! Thats its! Now the way I see it toro started with his signature, than the rev bite, why I have no idea, he is a man, so the answer might be in his DNA. Regardless, from now on if this continues I am banning the person for the day, I don't care what political party they belong to.

And you can re-appear as a spook whenever you like. The goat herder was not banned from this site, neither was the rev. But you can give it a try if you like. Get the message once and for all, you keep this peacock crap up and your going to your room for the rest of the day.

I am women hear me roar!

:? Of course the Dems will bring up the possibility of a draft. Fearmongering aside, the current admin is painting itself into a corner man. It would only be natural for the only opposing party to pull that tactic to add heat on Bushco. If the shoe were on the other foot the repugs will be doing no less.

What would you want them to do? Lie down and wait until it's all over and everthing will be hunky dory again? That won't help the matter much, they'll lose more votes next term if they just bend over and take whatever bush will do to the country they're getting enough flak for not standing up to the current administration.

The Republicans would get crushed if they supported a draft. There have been a few GOP Congressmen who support it, but its toxic. There's no way. The Dems would take back Congress in a heartbeat. That's why its the Dems keep bringing it up.

If they want cannon fodder they need a draft though. No way around it. If they want to keep up their present foreign policy, then they need cannon fodder.

LOL Unless there is another attack of the magnitude of 9/11, there is no need or call for draft.

IF another attack happens, the US will force Canadians into service via impressment. Word of warning! We mean business.

If the US tries to force us into a single damned thing they will discover just exactly how independent we are.

oh , Wow!! :roll:

The US did not get very far in trying to get CA to support the insanity in Iraq. THe US did not get far in the missle shield program.

The only business that the US is interested in is MONEY, POWER and WAR. ........and if there is to be another major world disaster......it will be the US that will author it......as long as it goes on the currrent path.

The US wants war.......then kill it's own population and troops. to do it.

Oh really.

First off... why would we try to force Canada to include it's own subpar troops into anything? You can keep them. Continue being the fodder for the UN.

You don't even have the common sense to close a hatch on a sub in open seas.

Your tough talk amuses me.
