#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.

#4 âIt should be subject to hearings and to expert testimony...â

He wants the three-ring circus, not the vote.

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

#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.

#8 Well, there she is. C'mon, anti, you tricky, tricky girl. Time to change you. Pretty soon you'll be ready for adult diapers... and a fistful of barbituates.

#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.

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.

#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.

#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.
