John: Yeah, i fixed the link, didn't realize it was time-based. The two issues are totally seperate. I absolutely advocate voting for not-Bush. But I also absolutely advocate voting for not-draft. A vote for Kerry isn't a vote against the draft, and a vote for Bush isn't a vote for the draft. Remember, those very people who put that bill up (at least in the House) are up for re-election around the nation. There are more votes than just the Bush/Kerry vote on the 2nd. All of them are important, and this shows why.

Assuming that being anti-Bush means anti-Republican or pro-Democrat is just naive.

There are many seperate issues, which have to be looked at on their own merits, not just voting down a left leaning (barely) party line.
