Re: Fear mongering
Kerry is right about suppressing the black vote. It was done with great success in 2000 and will be done again this year.
As for a draft, Bush has repeatedly denied it, and the specific scare-mongering from some internet folks (regarding the bill introduced by a Democrat and subsequently killed) glosses over its purpose, which was to draw attention to who is actually fighting this war. However, Bush will not be able to carry out his military agenda without major military expansion. Period. He will either have to pay soldiers 100 grand a year or have a draft. Or lose.
As a soldier, how do you feel about Bush trying to cut combat pay for troops currently on the ground in Iraq? I think you know that I'm not asking this to be snide. I'm very serious.
