Draft Bush Supporters First

Yes, it's back to the Democrats October Surprise: the draft.

It's become a mjor issue in this election as kids between 18 and 25 realize their vote might not just matter, it may mean the difference between life and death. And families [white suburban house wifes in particular] are beginning to waiver in their support for Bush. The poll numbers are skyrocketing and suburban mothers are all becoming single issue voters because of it. Ed Gillespie, RNC chair, has threatened Rock the Vote for using it to help spur their voter drive and also to bolster younger voters to vote for Kerry [because, let's be honest, Viacom and MTV are far from bastions of rightist propaganda]. They've responded but it's unclear what, if anything, will become of all this. Probably nothing, not before November.

This gaffe by the President is not helping matters. He said "I made it very plain we will not have an all-volunteer army." Whoops.

The Kerry camp is doing a good job of hammering away at this issue, no matter what the president says. But we, as citizens and as voters, need to remember that a draft may happen no matter who is elected. While Kerry's policy of restoring our reputation and relations with the rest of the world will help [maybe], he has not said what he will do if Iran tries to blow us up. We *can't* invade. We don't have the forces. If Iran or North Korea or fucking Romania decides to attack us, we're fucked. Point blank, there will be a draft.

To ensure this does not happen , we must keep on our elected officials from local to federal level and loudly, LOUDLY express our opposistion to this issue.
