On the heels of the CBSNews document forgeries, Dan Rather and CBSNews are trying to pull another one over on the American public. CBSNews and Dan Rather have started reporting that under a reelected Bush gov't, there will most likely be a draft, but under a Kerry gov't there won't be a draft. Did CBSNews and Dan Rather decide they no longer care about facts???
According to the way our gov't is set up, ONLY Congress can reinstitute a draft. And even if a group of senators wanted to have a draft, they would never be able to get it through congress because of the filibuster rule. The basic fact is: A President CANNOT order a draft!

Even MTV thinks that the presidential election will determine a draft: You got to check this one out.

I thought truth actually meant something, but I guess I was wrong. But for once, I wish people would seek out the facts and not try to influence people with untruths.
