Bush stumbles on military draft
And Kerry is the Flip Flop?


DAYTONA BEACH, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) surprised his listeners at a campaign rally by seeming to oppose, then favor, then oppose replacing the all-volunteer US military with a draft.

4. Have you ever notieced...
...the more people accuse others of having some fault, that these people have that fault in spades? It is called self-righteousness.

7. Another quote...
Same article...'"The only person talking about a draft is my opponent. The only politicians that supported a draft are democrats, and the best way to avoid a draft is to vote for me," he (Bush) said.'

yeah and if anyone knows something about avoiding the draft it would definitely be Bush. That part gave me a good giggle

8. The media seem to be running more often with Bush's speech gaffes.
Maybe at least some of them are smelling blood.
