Chickenhawks Can Stop Rangel

The Blog | Bob Cesca: Let's Go, Chickenhawks! Preempt Rangel's Draft | The Huffington Post: "Congressman Charlie Rangel plans to reintroduce a bill calling for the reinstating of the draft under the banner statement: if you're prone to knee-jerking America into war again, you had better be prepared to put your hawk-ass where you hawk-beak is.

And if you're older than 42, but you have service-aged children, bestow upon them your old W'04 bumper sticker and demand they support the war by signing up. You chickenhawks like preemption, so it's time to preempt Congressman Rangel..."
