Please explain to me why Sen Rangel keeps calling for the draft. When he got a vot in 2005 after calling for the draft he voted against the draft bill. So by action and deed he is quite obviously against the draft. Why this dishonest grandstanding. Politics at is purest I guess.

He is trying to make a point. Some Repubs including McCain want to continue the war on an even larger scale. Rangel says if you want more troops you will have to use the draft. He knows and the Repubs know that if the draft was re-instated there would be huge protests and hell to pay. In other words, he is calling their bluff. They will have to wind down the war instead of trying to make it bigger.

Politicians change colors like chameleons depending upon the situation to become popular. Thus, Sen. Rangel changes his decisions regarding the draft depending upon the need for grandstanding.

The draft is a stupid idea, if I ever get called for the draft I'm applying for Canadian citizenship.

It's called pandering, very common in politicians of every party and nationality.
