Reply #49: Take a crash course in reading comprehension [View All]

and as another poster said, read between the lines.

Of course they never use the word 'draft'. They are smart enough to avoid it, knowing that will absolve them in the minds of the comprehension challenged.

Your argument is as silly as one presented to me earlier today by a freeper who claimed that since none of these people were members of Congress, they didn't have the power to influence bush or force a vote to reinstate the draft. He went on to say that this letter would have no more effect than any other letter written to Congress by constituents like you and me!

One of these guys was McCain's presidential campaign manager, another was Dole's. And one was an undersecretary in Reagan's cabinet. Many are long time Republican party leaders who just don't happen to be members of Congress. But are they powerful, influential Republicans who have a voice in the bush administration? You bet they are. And they are telling bush and the others the letter is addressed to that the military needs more soldiers.
