Charlie Rangel LOVES the Draft

This has got to fall under "any publicity is good publicity", because otherwise Congressman Rangel has a sizeable number of screws loose.

U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, the incoming chairman of the House of Representatives' tax-writing committee, said he would introduce legislation to reinstate the draft as soon as the new, Democratic-controlled Congress convenes in January.
Asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" if he was still serious about the proposal for a universal draft he raised a couple of years ago, he said, "You bet your life. Underscore serious."
"If we're going to challenge Iran and challenge North Korea and then, as some people have asked, to send more troops to Iraq, we can't do that without a draft," he said.

The Congressman is about as liberal as they come, so this is not serious. Rather is a bit of political theater. Personally, I'd rather be having real debates about real issues.
