Bring Back the 60s

bring back the 60s, fun days for the Libs, burning draft cards, college protests, sit ins, border jumping to Canada.

Building a bigger force starts with funding from Congress. The rest just takes time.

Well Charlie? Wheres the money?

What is he think, well look at what America wants. Not the Draft.

He didn't get the point 2 years ago, so he think that now that DEMs are in "power" he can change the People.

Charlie Brown could never get the pumkin.

Good, I hope they do it. Then I can quit worrying about Shrillary in '08.

I don't think you have to worry about Shrillary in '08. She is not "left enough" for the party. She will have to draw a major part of independents and I don't think she can do that.....

The idea of conscription would go over with the Congress about as well as a fart in church.

He reminds me of Kerry, brought up the draft proposal...then even he himself voted against it. He's a "stirrer"...
