I am really sorry, but your illogic just has me confused, and I'm
trying to determine some way in which your argument makes any sort of
sense.

I'm just trying to determine how it is that an allegedly rational
person can believe a) being pro-Kerry (who is for a draft) to prevent a
draft from being implemented by Bush, is better than b) being against
the draft if Bush implements it, though he has said he doesn't want one
and we don't need one.

THis is the epitome of Michael Badnarik's dismissal of the 'wasted
vote' syndrome. A condemned man has a 50% chance of hanging, 45% chance
of lethal injection, and 5% chance of escape, yet he earnestly clings
to voting for lethal injection because it will hurt less than hanging.
Better yet, by your logic, the condemned man votes for hanging because
he really wants to be lethally injected but is convinced that the
warden is going to execute him with whatever he doesn't choose, just to
be mean. The idea of voting for escape never even crosses his mind, he
is so well institutionalized into the prison system.

Voting for a Kerry draft over a Bush draft is EXACTLY what we are
talking about here, despite the reality that only the Democrats have
actually called for a draft.

If you really oppose the war in Iraq, and really oppose the draft, then
your only real choice is Badnarik, unless of course, some other agenda
is more important to you.
