Charlie Rangel Wants to Re-institute the Draft
Democrat tax cheat Charlie Rangel wants to re-institute the draft. This isn’t the first time that Charlie Rangel has tried to re-institute the draft.
Republicans are likely to seize on the reintroduction of Rangel’s unpopular military draft bill. When they controlled the House in 2004, Republicans scheduled a vote on the Rangel measure, which was defeated 402-2. Reps. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and Pete Stark (D-Calif.) supported it, while Rangel voted against his own bill, claiming the GOP was playing political games.
If Republican play their cards right they should be able to make political gain on this issue. Charlie Rangel wants to reintroduce the draft because he feels the senate would never have voted to go into Iraq if there was a draft in 2002.
If a draft had been in place in 2002 when members were making the decision on whether to support the war in Iraq, Rangel has said, Congress never would have approved the war resolution, because the pressure from constituents would have been too great.
So it isn’t the Republicans who were playing games with Rangel’s bill in 2004, it was Charlie Rangel who was and is playing games with the lives of American draft age citizens.

Can you explain this to me. I don’t get his reasoning. Is he saying that if the draft had been in place, Congress wouldn’t have voted on the war because the draftees would have voiced their opposition to going?
I highly doubt that….having been in the military….

I thought that crook was going to jail? Well, if Geithner can get a promotion, I guess Rangel will stay out of jail.

It doesn’t make sense to nme either Dominique, it’s twisted logic.
We can still hope that Rangel goes to jail, but it looks like tax evasion is now a rewardable offense.
