John Connors and the people who have tossed out legislation for a draft are by and large DEMOCRATS....
so, saying you choose to register to vote for the democrats or (the republicans will win) and you get drafted fails to hold water
but once again the AP has chimps working for it
South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Joe Erwin said "it's a powerful piece" that is designed to grab the attention of potential voters.
"I can understand why they think it's despicable, but, sorry, we really do need to get potential voters' attention," he said, adding that the mailing strives to let people know that "their vote impacts what our role in the war may be down the road."
The Democratic Party is trying to recoup some of its losses in the 2002 elections that cost them the governor's mansion and a shot at replacing Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond with a Democrat. This year, the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Ernest "Fritz" Hollings is up for grabs and voters will have to fill every seat in the General Assembly.
A bill Hollings introduced before the Iraq war that calls for a draft has no co-sponsors and has gone nowhere.
