Folks, hit the DRAFT issue HARD

[montana500]

Kerry is leading Bush in almost all areas. He won 3 debates handily and made the president look like a lying bufoon in two.

Yet some of the voters still want Bush. Why? Fear.

How can we undo that?

By long detailed explanations on the Patriot Act and rambling thoughtful liberal commentary?

No.


You do it by scaring them back. You scare them with the draft.

1. Here is the KEY (see below)

http://www.sss.gov/viet.htm

Before Congress made improvements to the draft in 1971, a man could qualify for a student deferment if he could show he was a full-time student making satisfactory progress toward a degree.


Under the current draft law, a college student can have his induction postponed only until the end of the current semester. A senior can be postponed until the end of the academic year.

4. Thanks, and that link was "Last Updated April 30, 2002".

Should * hijack another term, they'll use that as though they had a mandate and update the Draft Law anyway they damn well please!

8. LBJ might not be the best guy to quote....

...when the topic is the Draft. :(

11. LOL

3. and risk a cease and desist from the RNC?

Apparently weasel-boy Ed Gillespie and the RNC files a cease and desist against "Rock the Vote" for making the suggestion that there might be a draft. "The President said there won't be a draft, therefore, there won't be a draft." Unless Bush flip-flops...

6. Raising the Draft issue, makes us look like...

conspiracy theorist paranoid freaks, hellbent on scaring people into the polls. Exactly the tactics that the REPUBLICANS practice.

Sorry, but it's true.

This is definitely not an issue that 'resonates with swing voters', you'd have better luck talking about the Economy, Jobs, Health Care, etc... you know, REAL WORLD issues.

9. whats wrong with that?

america eats that up these days.

[Carson]

14. I have to agree.

I don't believe this is the route to go. Stick to provable facts like the economy and Iraq.

[geek tragedy]

7. This is also a counterattack against the MC nonsense

This will prove to be a wedge issue, and it will change the goddamn subject.

10. My Freeper friend...

Wants to know how Kerry would add 40,000 troops in Iraq without a draft. I'm not excited about this promise by Kerry. What's the response?

[MidwestTransplant]

12. He didn't say 40K to Iraq

He said 40K to the regular army.

[Deja Q]

13. * made himself look like a liar when he responded to inter-related

questions between the debates (particularly #s 2 and 3.)

Yet people still want him in. :crazy:
