It all went down when an audience member turned the topic toward veteran's rights and said, quite astoundingly, "If we don't reenact the draft I don't think we will have anyone to chase [...]

I wonder if the prospect of having their sons be drafted into fighting the endless and expanding wars that John McCain has in mind will make people think twice about electing a man with anger management problems who thinks that war is the answer any time another country looks at you crosswise. I wonder if the potential reality of conscription will make people realize that bellicose rhetoric and "bomb...

John McCain hears town hall attendee say: "If we don’t reenact the draft I don’t think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell," says "I don’t disagree with anything you said." This kind of talk was on the "Internets" in 2004, but wasn't completely pushed by Democrats, and there wasn't actual video of the GOP candidate basically agreeing that we need a draft. This time around? Well,...

The video is on You Tube and as we all know You Tube does not lie. So if you are a young person between 18 and 25 years old you do not want John McCain to ever be President. If you are a parent of a male child between 18 and 25 you do not want John McCain to be President. And if you are an intelligent sentient being, you do not want John McCain to be President.
