Senator Kerry decided scaring the old folks with incendiary talk about Mr. Bush taking their Social Security away wasn't enough. So he told the oldsters of West Palm Beach that the President will probably draft their grandkids into the military, too!

This even though, as the Palm Beach Post dutifully noted, "Bush has never suggested he call a draft and Pentagon officials have not said one is needed."

In point of fact, reinstating the draft has been pushed by democrats, not the President.
