I'll be 100% behind Nader.

5. RATE THIS STORY A "5"!

People NEED to see this. They need to understand what kind of mess their President has gotten them into.

6. I expect more from kerry

Of all people he should play this card considering his history. I will go with Walter F Brown (s) or Nader (I) if Kerry doesn't man up.

7. We're going to TexRaq!--no, you ARE going there! .... tragic ((n/t))

8. I loved this comment

The Nebraska Republican added that a draft, which was ended in the early 1970s, would spread the burden of military service in Iraq more equitably among various social strata.

"Those who are serving today and dying today are the middle class and lower middle class," he observed.


Does he really think the upper class will be drafted?

[Rationality]

9. If they're not the sons and daughters of politicians... sure! ((n/t))

10. I'm over 26 and not a doctor

plus I'd be 4F anyway even if I were young enough to go, but if they start to conscript people, I WILL be out in the street yelling as loudly as I can yell. I feel awful for all you under-26 DUers. I really hope this thing doesn't happen.

11. Draft Bush First!

Draft Cheney!
Draft Perle!
Draft Wolfy!
Draft Rummy!
Draft the AEI!
Draft the PNAC signatories!

Let the people who WANTED the war fight it!
