I actually don’t think there will ever be another draft, and I generally oppose these types of scare tactics in the name of politics (particularly ones with bad Photoshop-ing). But if Bush is going to keep pulling this shit:

Bush also expressed gratitude to Hispanic families that lost loved ones in the wars in Iraq, adding that they died for a noble cause. “I would tell them the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the war against those who caused the deaths on 9/11 is necessary,” he said. “The most solemn duty of the president of the United States is to protect the American people. And the biggest danger we have is that a terrorist group obtains weapons that can cause more damage than a few planes.” (MSNBC)

Then fuck ‘em. Dems should use every trick they’ve got to win this thing, because you know as you read this Rove et al are coming up with some seriously twisted ideas to suppress turnout, rig elections and generally steal another four years. If that means overstating the likelihood of a draft, fine. If that means taking a lame Bush joke and turning it into a brutal attack, even better. It’s that kind of election.

P.S. The new Fiery Furnaces album is amazing.
