Sen. McConnell (R-KY) and the Draft

[elizabethpowell]

Mitch McConnell is a representative that reflects Kentuckys prevailing attitudes which means he's just a RACIST BIGGOT and he HATES that Barack Obama being in the White House because he's black. Basic old school white male inferiority complex. Plus you just can't argue that Univerity Kentucky just doesn't compare with Harvard.

[crazysillybaby1]

@elizabethpowell nice slander ,ky voted rand paul .and ky is leading the way for ron paul .dont be afraid to take care of yourself

[issueresolved2008]

So when is this draft going to happen anyway? I see this video was posted over a year ago. Apparently Bush is not the only one using fear tactics.

[halyn4kucinich]

Calling on Fellow Kentuckians - DITCH MITCH!

[EpicGifted]

@halyn4kucinich i like how you're from pennsylvania not kentucky dumbass.

[danielkeeton]

Someone take this guy out. He is dangerous neocon and has no place in this great land of Kentucky.

[KerouacOnTheRoad]

MITCH is GAY you say? Perhaps that explains why he was the FIRST one to rush out to the PRESS and bash fellow HOMOSEXUAL Larry Craig's bathroom follies. How fascinating that so many closeted GOPers are also HYPOCRITES who cast stones.

[KillerZewt]

I saw him today in a Deli in Louisville, rather odd fellow.

[dizzymasekela]

Ha!Ha!Ha! Mitch Mcconnell is a flaming closeted fairy and dumbass Kentucky twits have given him money and votes.

I can't wait until this closeted gay fascists is outed.

[WWWoDMOCRATSoORG]

Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.

[uk311420]

I say we institute a draft just for supporters of this endless war... (are there any left that aren't working for defense contractors or the RNC?) Draft Republicans!!!!!!!!

[baduga2]

Endless war is a wet dream for conservatives.

[TheDagda1080]

Two best comments I've read all day.

[cierancieran]

Of course Republican politicians aren't TALKING about the draft, as it's an issue that can end their careers. But it doesn't mean they haven't silently been reinstating draft boards all across the US in preperation for a draft. Take a look at your own local draft board and see. The Republicans are quietly bringing the draft back, and the Democrats are the only ones with BALLS to say anything about it, in an effort to stop the nonsense.

[stimpy100]

Of course we all know the answer to that. That is why I find it funny when blind followers on the right scream about "Oh no!!! no draft coming!! The dems are making it all up!!" the gop knows this WWII talk is all full of shite and a draft will cause American to actually think about the costs of the war. They admit to the falicy of their own position.

[stimpy100]

Bring on the draft.. Why is the GOP against it? Why is anyone against it? Why should we not take personal responsibility for our wars? As Bush said this is the most serious fight since WWII, so lets put our helmets on and get to work!

[baduga2]

NOBODY is going to send MY CHILDREN to the killing fields for their fantasies of world domination.

[jncs1991]

Don't worry my husband is willing to fight and die so you are free to teach your kids to be big pussies who let everyone else do hard work for them!

[TheDagda1080]

Oh and what does Iraq have to do with my freedom? Nothing, absolutely nothing. If your husband wants to prove he's a big tough man and fight in Iraq, I can't stop him. I guess I'm just a big pussy. You probably still think Saddam had WMD's, don't you. Yeah he did, he hid them under the sand.

[sheajay1]

WHAT DOES IRAQ HAVE TO DO WITH FREEDOM? what kind of feebleminded question is that? Our troops are over there protecting you so you don't have to be the one over there putting your life in danger. If we werent there, then the terrorists would be here. Would you rather that? Would you like a repeat of Sept. 11th? And "tough man" is such an understatement and so is you being a "pussy". (What a mature choice of words)

[sheajay1]

Whoever is over there fighting in Iraq is pretty much my hero. I pitty you for your ignorance.

God Bless Our Troops

[LeprechaunEater]

You know, you can still be a patriot and love your country even if you hate what its doing. Many Americans just don't seem to like that.

[sheajay1]

fighting for our freedom is world domination? It's because of out troops that are fighting for us that we are able to be free. Not for "world domination". You need to get your facts straight or don't state anything at all.

thanks

Support Our Troops

[LeprechaunEater]

Was Korea for your freedom? Was Vietnam for your freedom? Is Iraq for your freedom? That's a big NO,NO,NO. Fighting for you freedom is just something that politicians throw down your throat to sell a war and to make you feel patriotic. Who was behind 9/11? Saddam? NO. Who was making WMD's? Saddam? NO. Who was an immanent threat to the US? Saddam? NO. I think you are the one remaining ignorant.

[sheajay1]

WOAH WOAH WOAH MISTERRR. First Korea did not attack us like how we were attacked on sept. 11th. Neither did Vietnam. And ok yea Saddam might not have been behind Sept. 11th. specifically but who was? Al Quaeda! Yea! and do you knwo waht they are?? TERRORISTS! and do you know who is a leader of terrorists?? SADAM. and as for the WMD's Mostly every politician thought Iraq was making WMD's EVEN democrats! So your argument was pretty much pointless.

HAVE A NICEEE DAYYY! :)

[LeprechaunEater]

Since when was Saddam the leader the of terrorists??? He hated terrorists. He thought they were trying to undermine his authority. Lets invade Saudi Arabia to get the terrorists.

I wasn't saying Korea or Vietnam attacks the US, I was saying those wars were not for your freedom just like Iraq isn't.

[sheajay1]

Did saddam try to stop it? He was president. and if he did try to stop it let me tell you something he did a horrible job of it. Or atleast the people who pulled the statue of him down did..

and ok what is the iraq war for since you are oh so omniscient and a war expert who didnt have to deal with their father being in world trade center...and their brother about to go to Iraq soon to fight because of my dad and those thousands who died ...

[sheajay1]

Tell me what this war is really about then. because i must be so uneducated and naive to believe that we went to war for our freedom after thousands of people died...and livin with those horrible thoughts EVERYDAY. Sorry, I must totally not have a brain....(SARCASM TIMES A MILLION).

[LeprechaunEater]

You still don't get it. Iraq/Saddam had no connection to 9/11. Why can't you understand that. The 9/11 commision report said this.

I don't know what was going on in Bush's mind when he went into Iraq.

But Alan Greenspan tells us it was about oil.

[tonylee1973]

@LeprechaunEater I agree with what you said about saddam not having anything to do with 9/11. but is it possible there was another reason we invaded Iraq?

[sheajay1]

the statue of him down did thought he did*

[dexterriley]

if your brother is going to iraw based on that logic..i truly feel sorry for him. that is bullshit plain and simple.

[dexterriley]

are u really that naiive?

[baduga1]

There's no hope for people such as you. You simply will not acknowledge the facts. You live in a fantasy world. Willful ignorance is a sin.

[IraqSummer]

keepup you need research lessons..your posts are nothing but spit and emotion.

[jim294]

Americans will not support Bush's plan to babysit the world. Free trade causes declining incomes, which means Americans can no longer afford babysitting Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. We American taxpayers say "NO" to American Empire. Bring our troops home and defend America, not multinational corporations in foreign lands.

[PacificNWMark]

And the White House and the Pentagon *never* lie, do they?

Keep up the fight with what, chickenhawk? Reservists? Mercenaries like Blackwater?

Endless war indeed.

[KeepUpTheFight2008]

That's why the White House and Pentagon immediately said that a draft was NOT on the table.

Again, they only elected officials talking about a draft are DEMOCRATS -- namely John Murtha and Charles Rangel.

[AnotherHappyLiberal]

The military leader (Lute) talking about a draft is a Bush appointee.

You do understand that a draft is not something the dying GOP will talk about, right?

[KeepUpTheFight2008]

You guys are kidding, right?

FACT CHECK - The only elected officials talking about a draft are Democrats -- like your hero John Murtha.

[gangstarphil]

Bingo

[baduga2]

That's the point numbskull. Conservatives just won't talk about it. It's just another conservative lie.

[KeepUpTheFight2008]

Republicans say they have no interest in a draft, so that means they support a draft.

Wow, that's brilliant logic!

My original comment still stands. MoveOn and Democrats are running the draft fear campaign again -- just like they did in 2004.

[jncs1991]

The repubs know there is not need for a draft...shhhhh don't tell the libs this but recruiting quotas are being filled. They don't want to believe that though. They want to believe that the military is broken. It fits their agenda better.

[TheDagda1080]

I've heard that the army drastically lowers there recruiting goals for a time period so they can then say they met or exceeded their expectations. No way Bush wants a draft because then Americans will wake up and truly see the mountain of B.S.
