Charlie Rangel coming up on MSNBC after the break

[CatWoman]

to discuss his draft idea.

[savemefromdumbya]

1. Rangel keep your mouth firmly zipped

[CatWoman]

2. why?

:shrug:

[savemefromdumbya]

9. the first item that comes out of this congress? a draft no way!

he needs to be locked up

[salin]

12. what makes you think the democratic congress

is going to deliver a draft? Debate vs party support - very different animals.

[savemefromdumbya]

14. debate (unfortunately according to the media) is a yes

as soon as one opens their mouth the media is on it.

[devilgrrl]

17. He's "concerned"...

where have you been?:sarcasm:

[acmejack]

3. A shame he isn't as smart as you.

[babylonsister]

4. He's pointing out that on the one hand, the admin claims they need

more troops. And who's going to go? The men and women who have been over there 3, 4, 5 times? There's such a disparity and he's highlighting the unfairness of it. And he did get everyone's attention on this, didn't he.

[CatWoman]

5. Charlie is slapping this twit all over the place

using common sense :)

6. Phased withdrawl needed starting now

get the UN in there with residual allied forces.

[lapfog_1]

21. That's not the plan... phased withdrawal

is the old idea with a new slogan. Used to be called "As they stand up, we'll stand down". Now called phased withdrawal... aka "stay the course".

And it won't work.

I call it "As they stand up, we will get shot down".

We need to pull the plug and make a run for the border.

[sui generis]

7. yeah but we have to trust that this is a bluff

because cleaning up dumbya's mess by drafting our kids is not the solution.

Get our people out of there now. It's a fuckup. It will continue to be a fuckup. We don't have five or seven more years like vietnam to burn off another 30,000 american soldiers. Come to think of it, neither did Vietnam.

If we just wanted to talk about it, then the idea of draft is just dangerous. If he's serious then I absolutely oppose it, fundamentally, like, move away and give up my U.S. Citizenship and don't look back if it comes to pass.

[savemefromdumbya]

8. It's the LAST thing Dems want to talk about now

people don't like drafts period

[CatWoman]

10. yeah, they are soooo in love with this war

let's shake a few trees to find some more troops to send over there.

fuck a draft.

[savemefromdumbya]

11. is Rangel some sort of GOP-stooge?

[CatWoman]

13. yeah, he's one of the lost Howard brothers. Was given up for adoption at birth.

how did you know?

[spanone]

18. Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard......

[cali]

19. No

Charlie Rangel has marched with Code Pink for god's sake. He's as true a liberal as you'll find in the House. Do a little research before opening YOUR mouth.

[savemefromdumbya]

22. Code pink and a draft?

[devilgrrl]

16. Thank you for your "concern"

:sarcasm:

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. GOOD

[annabanana]

20. Rangel just told Tweety what's what.

It was masterful.
