Howard Stern uses the D word

[59millionmorons]

Draft. Is it time for bloggers and supportive media outlets to start putting the word out if you vote for Bush your kids will be drafted?

READ THIS

"The war on terror will continue," says the president. "It's going to take a while and no, we don't need a draft."
But Beverly's not buying it. She's a Republican, but also a single-issue voter.

Would she vote for a Democrat? "Absolutely," she says. "I would vote for Howdy Doody if I thought it would keep my boys home and safe."

In fact, there are at least three votes in this house riding on the draft: Beverly's and her sons' Carmen and Nick.

Are her sons worried about being drafted? "Yeah," says Nick. "It's the talk; the talk's there. Though people aren't actually coming out and saying it, it's there."

What worries the Coccos is the continuing need for more troops in dangerous places. And the machinery for a draft is already in place: all men have to register when they turn 18 <...>

There hasn't been a draft since 1973, but that's not much comfort to Beverly Cocco.

So she is keeping a sharp eye on the political traffic. She's a Bush supporter today, but if she doesn't like what she hears between now and November, she could easily cross over.

1. Yeah, that's all well and good, but sadly

all Bush has to do is lie and say there will be no draft. Then he just has to say it a few more times, and make sure everyone in his administration says it.

Hell, then he could even say that it is Kerry who will send people's kids to die.

It will become the truth, as with most lies spread by Republicans, once it is repeated a few times in the media and then sent in emails all over the country.

8. What about the rest of that clip?

"So I don't worry about, and people shouldn't
worry about a draft. . . I think we're in good
shape, I really do. And, if not, we'll -- I'll address
the nation. But I don't see any need to right now."

3. I've been screaming this for awhile

The draft is being talked about everywhere here. My son repeats this is school "A Vote for Bush is a Vote for the Draft". Kerry can win hands down if people believe Bush will reinstate the Draft.

6. be afraid - be very afraid (for your kids)

Wake up America. Do the math. The globe is how big? We are in how many countries? How many in Iraq? Afghanistan? The plans are already in the works. BELIEVE IT. There are lots of things that old georgie porgie has up his sleave that won't be released until after the election. Remember the medicare costs, the no child left behind underfunding and on and on and on and on. Wrap your babies in gold and hide them.......
