Politics: fear of draft getting old

Things that are true: our volunteer army is overextended, the back-door draft is a very real and disgusting thing, and if a real front in the war on terror opened up in Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, etc., we wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about it.

Things that aren't true and are getting really old (or at least things Kerry really can't say Bush is going to do because Bush swears he won't): we're not going to have a draft. And while I don't really trust anything the guy says after he lied through his butt about why we were going to Iraq, the draft doesn't seem very likely. We've made those mistakes before, and I hardly think the American people are stupid enough to let that happen again.

Besides, I'm like 30 miles from Canada. What do I care?

So I wish Kerry would keep talking about the things that are true, and get off the things that aren't. You can do better than that, John. You're running against a president with the worst record on everything in the last zillion years. And fear is their tactic, not ours.
