Clinton didn&#039;t fight terrorism effectively because he treated it as a criminal matter and not as a national security one.</description>

		<description>Rangel is really messed up.
 
Would you be willing to spread the word about www.draftresistance.org?  It&#039;s a site dedicated to shattering the myths surrounding the selective slavery system and building mass civil disobedience to stop the draft before it starts!
 
Our banner on a website, printing and posting the anti-draft flyer or just telling friends would help.
 
Thanks!

PS. When it comes to conscription, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!</description>

Comment by CT_Version 2 â€” August 14, 2007 @ 8:30 am

Tattoos, nah... we used to slam a lot of beer though, straight out of the pitcher at the EM club, but that was where we went to critique our prior craziness and plot our next adventures...

As for the rest of your post, your opinions don&#039;t carry much weight here. You goose step around issuing orders, e.g., &quot;Shut up!&quot; &quot;Get out!&quot; You lay harsh judgments on anybody who has differing opinions, as if you, exclusively, are privy to the &quot;truth&quot;. Since you don&#039;t have much life experience yet, this reflects directly on your upbringing, and my impression is that you have a lot of work to do in sorting out your true identity from that which has been imposed upon you... Your contribution to this world, if you care to make one, will be to discover who you really are</description>

I suppose you didn&#039;t learn anything, even while as a Marine. To your credit, you admitted that you just &quot;made some good friends.&quot; That was your contribution to the service.

You talk as if my time in that recruiting office was mandatory, as if I was actually being drafted and needed to &quot;get out of something.&quot; No, &quot;Ex Jarhead,&quot; it&#039;s an all-volunteer service, I went on my own accord, so there&#039;s nothing to &quot;fake.&quot; You are stoking political pressures (left vs. right) to falsely calculate my personal decisions, which makes you a bad citizen. Admit that you&#039;re wrong instead of switching to super-project mode. I&#039;m not a cheater. And no more information needs to be disclosed to a political hack like yourself. 

Tatoos and beer drinking to go along with those friends, huh?</description>

		<description>&quot;Yeah, Clinton was the guy that actually tried to go after Osama even before we had proof he had done anything. You however charge him with not doing enough when we werenâ€™t even sure he was responsible for any crimes.

You just lost all credibility here.  Either you are completely misinformed, or you are one of the biggest liars posting here.  Which is it?  There is no third option, by the way.

		<description>ANYONE (even Rangle) suggesting the draft can &quot;go straight to hell&quot; -- do not pass go. I didn&#039;t spend the better part of my life raising my sons to &quot;die for a pack of lies&quot; and anybody aiding those lies thru act or deed (including arguing for the draft) , is complicit in these lies and is therefore , an enemy of mine.

Originally Rangle kept saying the current system targets an inordinately high number of black youths and therefore the draft should be required. But now that it has been recently disclosed that that is not the case at all (blacks are 12% of the population but have less than that in the military) , there is no good reason for him to continue this argument.</description>

		<description>Actually, there&#039;s already been a draft involved in the Iraq war that Bush started.

Until Bush diverted the war effort away from getting the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan to start a totally insane war in Iraq, how many National Guardsmen and reservists thought that they&#039;d end up in combat?

Sure, some hoped for it, but most were probably finishing up their commitment to the military, building their businesses and families, while preparing to help in cases of domestic national emergencies...not to be de facto &quot;drafted&quot; into a war in Iraq.

As I&#039;m certain our nation&#039;s state governors weren&#039;t expecting to see much of their manpower and equipment &quot;drafted&quot; into a war that Bush started in Iraq.

The criminal actions by Bush and the worst administration in American history go beyond reprehensible.</description>

		<description>Rangel is right. A draft is a good idea because it will lift the burden from troops already stretched too thin in Iraq. Also a draft without a deferment is the right way to go. Politicians&#039; rich kids will have to serve.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sure Rep. Rangel would get a pretty penny from Western Oil contractors if he could bring about the draft. 

By pretending it would be fair - thus we need it.

Its Bullshit. Rangel doesn&#039;t care about people any more than Bush cares about people- that criminal New York congress.

And I think it&#039;s pretty awful that Josh Marshall website is obtuse enough to entertain such a concept even for a minute.  Rangel is a congress man that wants to stuff his pockets full of campaign contributions and favors from what Hillary insist is &quot;our vital interest in region&quot; of Iraq - the OIL and WHY she really isn&#039;t getting out of Iraq either - but how does the US stay part way?  Americans are very stupid if they consider a Draft a good idea when MOST us want out of this war NOT more into it.  

Talking Points can be played like fiddler if they news group seriousely believes the garbage that Rangel is peddling - it&#039;s a lie, and Rangel knows it&#039;s a lie. Just because Rangel wears   the label Dem doesn&#039;t mean he gives a damn about anyone other then himself.</description>

Hey coward!  If you really wanted to serve you could get a medical waiver!  We all know you&#039;re a lazy cowardly chickenhawk though!  Otherwise you&#039;d have taken the time to figure this out yourself, instead of whining about how liberals should go fight a war you don&#039;t have to!

Loser!
