Like I siad in another Post if anybody brings back the Draft it will be Kerry. He just keeps building his case up for it. I'm sure if he become President he will blame Bush for it though.

Thats right all you 18-29 year old Kerry followers, line right up over here I have a nice sharp hair cut for ya.

The poll did prove something: Half of the youth consists of morons.
Really... They should ask this to voters before they can vote and if they think Bush wants the draft, then not only should they not be allowed to vote, but they should also have "IDIOT" tattooed on their forehead.
