Comments on: Another Column, Another Lie http://www.unodemocrats.com/another-column-another-lie/ Fri, 18 May 2012 04:13:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: John Owens-Ream http://www.unodemocrats.com/another-column-another-lie/#comment-26 John Owens-Ream Sat, 18 Dec 2004 19:11:26 +0000 http://www.unodemocrats.com/another-column-another-lie/#comment-26 If you think it's a top-secret that the draft bills were submitted by democrats to creat discussion of the issue then you must have a pretty low opinion of our ability to read the newspaper. The point is that we don't have enough troops, with no end in site, with the army missing it's most recent recruitment numbers by 30% despite raising the enlistment bonuses (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/17/politics/17reserves.html?oref=login&oref=login -that's what you call sourcing a claim Mr Lytle.) and Bush's people talking plenty about expanding the war to other nations. There is no way all of those things can be true at the same time (low enlistment, not enough troops, expanded troop commitment) without a draft. So if you dig a little deeper then the precious Drudge Report and Fox then you'll see that there's more to the story than just "oh those bills were submitted by dems."

When the hell did I say that? What I meant by that is that all of this whole "Hate Bush" stuff came to an abrupt end (or so I thought) on Election day. I will give you credit on one point. This has caused me to write another article. About the real reason why you and your candidate lost. Expect it to be published the first Tuesday of the Spring semester. Oh, and there's something I should comment about the "The Only Draft I Support" button. Laughable, at best. Look at Congressional Bills S 89 and HR 163. See what your "precious" Democrats are up to. (If you want copies of these bills, e-mail me at mlytle@mail.unomaha.edu for them) What? When the hell did I say that?
