Will they stand up for their "war president"?

I have read countless articles about how college republicans are too busy and have too many opportunities and how we "libruls" are just scaring some recruits away.

BUT if you are truly behind this president....then will they sign up?

I sincerely doubt they will...and they will then be tested...as the DRAFT starts and then we will see if they run....

1. Sure they will
The 101st Fighting Keyboardist Regiment is real popular with their kind.

10. And as much as I loathe Jimmy Swaggart....
he does play some pretty piano.

I understand Crisco Johnny could tickle him some ivories as well.

2. If they didn't sign up for Iraq...
why would they sign up for Iran? They're too busy fighting the "culture wars" at home. They'll weasel out of any draft as well - Mommy and Daddy will see to it that they don't serve.

13. Just like VietNam. Mommy and Daddy will run to the SS board
with donations to make sure that they get their deferments.

3. Of course they'll sign up...
In Mike Gallagher's army.


Oh... you were talking about the actualy army, the one that goes to war. I'm confident that they will do their patriotic duty, enlist in the military, and fight for what they believe in. I am also confident that we will find those WMDs. And that freedom is truly on the march. And that Paris Hilton is still a virgin.

4. After peeing in their pants?
Nope. When the draft comes, they will be drug kicking and screaming from their trailers.

Little weenie cowards. :puke:

5. They won't need to sign up...
let's just say that as much as the FReeps deride Canada and Europe for their "socialist" practices, I think there'll be an upswing of freepers buying plane tickets to those locations should an Iran war materialize.

14. a magnetic ribbon on the back of their car is the same thing.
They'll be maroon this time.

They want to fight, but they're too busy praying to the lord of peace to guide the bombs into Iranian homes. It's the same sacrifice they made during this Iraq war. The ones with 4 magentic ribbons will be granted leave though. They've done enough.

15. Speaking of magnetic ribbons, has some rightwing blowhard...
waged war against them? Ordered his/her sheep to remove them from vehicles? I ask b/c three of my Bush-lovin' neighbors have removed their yellow (troops) and purple (anti-choice) ribbons and it just seems very odd. Especially the one who wrote "scarykerry.com" on his pickup truck prior to the election.
