It's funny how the Democrats want to force people to join the military and then want to lie and make Republicans look bad. I'm glad they were stopped.
House Republicans seek to quash military draft rumor

WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Republicans sought to quash a persistent Internet rumor that President Bush wants to reinstate the draft if he is re-elected, engineering an overwhelming vote Tuesday killing legislation that would do just that.
Republicans accused Democrats of feeding the rumor mill to scare young voters and their parents into voting against Bush.
"This campaign is a baseless, malevolent concoction of the Democratic Party and everyone in this chamber knows it," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas.
The House voted 402-2 to defeat the draft bill offered last year by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.
