| #12 The ad 2b suggests would be devistating. They'd call it a dirty trick of course, but the fact is this draft measure was a dirty trick to begin with. |

| #11 This was an excellent move by the Republican leadership. You want to talk smack Charlie? You want to do an e-mail campaign based upon a lie Democrats? Well put up or shut up. BTW: Did you see this ANYWHERE today other than The Hill???? Doubt it. |

| #10 http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery H.R.163 COSPONSORS(14), ALPHABETICAL [followed by Cosponsors withdrawn]: (Sort: by date) Rep Abercrombie, Neil [HI-1] - 1/7/2003 Rep Brown, Corrine [FL-3] - 1/28/2003 Rep Christensen, Donna M. [VI] - 5/19/2004 Rep Clay, Wm. Lacy [MO-1] - 1/28/2003 Rep Conyers, John, Jr. [MI-14] - 1/7/2003 Rep Cummings, Elijah E. [MD-7] - 1/28/2003 Rep Hastings, Alcee L. [FL-23] - 1/28/2003 Rep Jackson, Jesse L., Jr. [IL-2] - 7/21/2004 Rep Jackson-Lee, Sheila [TX-18] - 1/28/2003 Rep Lewis, John [GA-5] - 1/7/2003 Rep McDermott, Jim [WA-7] - 1/7/2003 Rep Moran, James P. [VA-8] - 1/28/2003 Rep Stark, Fortney Pete [CA-13] - 1/7/2003 Rep Velazquez, Nydia M. [NY-12] - 1/28/2003 Rep Norton, Eleanor Holmes [DC] - 1/28/2003(withdrawn - 6/21/2004 bill had 14 cosponsors - but only 2 voted yea. Results not up yet. Looks like campaign advertising material to me. Cut to photos of young students walking the hallowed halls of high schools and universities. "These Democrats want you to be drafted against your will. The Military has said they have met all of their recruiting goals, the Commanders have said the draft is unnecessary and unwanted...yet these (scroll names and photos) Democratic Representatives, who support John Kerry, want you to be forced to join. Why? heh...heh.. No law says you have to provide the infor on who actually voted for and against -this list of who sponsored and co-sponsored works just fine. Put the smuckoids on the defensive. |

| #9 This was a smart move on the part of the Republicans. Rangel should be hauled before court on a treason charge for trying to sabotage the US armed forces in such a disgraceful way. |

| #6 I appreciate Rangel's service to our country while he was in uniform. Since that time he has done a great many disservices to our country. I look for that trend to continue. |

| #5 Rangel was dropped in the East River, on his head as a baby and never recovered. |

| #4 âIt should be subject to hearings and to expert testimony...â He wants the three-ring circus, not the vote. |

| #2 What's the sound of one man voting? Flip flop flip flop. Good night bloggers. Got to do a day gig early in the a.m. |
