Actually this may be the same one, he’s just going for it again. Chuck Rangel, D-N.Y., seems to firmly believe that war supporters should be willing to buckle down and sacrifice everything if they believe the Iraq Fiasco is as crucial to America’s survival as much as they say they do. I agree. However, his constant pushing of the draft bill is starting to get borderline weird. From the text.

To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make permanent the favorable treatment afforded combat pay under the earned income tax credit, and for other purposes.

Now this isn’t news. It’s new, but it’s not news, if that makes sense. This was getting bantered about last November, but the fact that it’s still going on is just ridiculous. Yes, we get it. The Republicans that want the war but do not want to have to sacrifice anything are big fat disgusting hypocrites. However, pushing the draft bill time and time again isn’t going to do much aside from make you look crazed.

Also, a note. I’m working on another big project, so while I’ll try to get posts up at least once a day, I may be slow.
