President Bush has said explicitly, “We’re not going to have a draft, period. The all-volunteer Army works.”

But this isn’t going to stop the left from lying about it: New Television Ad Trumpets Military Draft Rumor.

(CNSNews.com) - A Democrat-leaning 527 group is set to debut a television ad in battleground states next week suggesting President Bush would reinstitute the draft if re-elected.

The liberal Campaign for America’s Future joined forces with former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean on Friday in a fund-raising appeal to air the commercial. The ad was produced by the 527 group Win Back Respect with the help of the MoveOn Voter Fund.

“With America’s troops stretched to the limit, and Army recruiters unable to meet their quotas, how would George Bush get the troops he needs to fix the mess in Iraq?” the announcer asks. “And where will he find the troops if America faces a more immediate threat? George Bush and the draft: What is his plan?”

Matt Bennett, a spokesman for Win Back Respect, said the ad was posted on the group’s website this week. He said Win Back Respect is in negotiations to air the ad in several states starting early next week.

With every dishonest attempt by Democrats and their hit squads in the fever swamp George Soros left to lie about Bush’s “draft plans,” I’m going to post this as a reminder: Kerry’s Vanished Draft Proposal—because the only candidate who has actually proposed a mandatory service plan is John Kerry.
