just something I was reminded of last night while reading...

In elections, a lot of things are done and said to sway voters, to tug on emotional heartstrings and mess with our sensibilities. Afterwards, I tend to forget all about them, especially if my side wins, but this one hit me last night while reading the Ann Coulter book.

Back in the last election, John Kerry Heinz floated the alarmist rumor that if Bush were to be re-elected, he was bringing back the draft. I know this, because it was all the liberal over the cubicle wall could talk about for about 3 days.

"How can you possibly vote for that man. You know he's going to bring back the draft, like in January! The youngster will be going to Iraq before you know it!"

I guess it might not be a lie. He might have meant January of 2007. In any case, I guess we're still waiting.....

ps. I know, I know. How "mean spirited" of her, and me for being her parrot, to point that out.
