I'm waiting for the dems to start pushing the draft. With the basic underlying racist implications.

I'd call that a 95% strongest of negative appeal to soccer moms. I think it's dumb for a host of practical reasons and it is not racist at all. But dems is racist and don't think but only feel.

In fact I was in a dept store and I met a soccer mom with two sons and she was distressed. She brought it up.

My wife and daughter also brought it up. It's a bad idea with deep penetration for all from my generation who know the vietnam war. The draft and lottery were major points in our lives once.
