"Why did Obama never register for the draft?"

I think he did about a month before his run for the Senate.

[rbbeachkid]

What a tool!

[Bitsy]

The one thing leftist lunatics like scumbag O’Donnell really despise, and what drives them crazy, is an intelligent, conservative Black man (or woman) who has dared to leave the “liberal plantation”.

You are right - Cain doesn’t fit the profile the hyporite, lunitic left have made for them - Cain is not in lock step and it makes them crazy and fearful some black folk may stop listening to massah and want off the plantation. Maybe they will finally find out that it was the Democrats who kept them on the plantation for so long.

[sodpoodle]

The left is befuddled now. They had all the smears locked and loaded for attacks on Sarah, Perry and Newt.

They must be going @pe-$h1t looking for dirt on Herman Cain.. scouring every Godfather’s Pizza franchise for nasty mushrooms, Burger King for meat and trolling for employees who have anti-Cain anecdotes.

Slim pickins will drive them nuts!!!!

Bring it on - losers.

“It’s tiring considering most military personnel AREN’T in combat!”

I often wonder how people don’t get this, especially considering the logistical complexity of modern warfare. How do you organize things from 2,000 miles away if everyone’s in the bush throwing bullets and mortars at eachother, or whatever it is grunts do? With ten to one people in the rear with the gear, that’s how. (For the record, I made that statistic up, but it sounds right.)

[silverleaf]

and Cain would accept that as an answer?

not

it’s obvious from obama and clinton that military service is passe as a potus credential

[uncbob]

The veterans who did not wait to be drafted like John Kerry who joined. They didn't sit there and wait to find out what their draft board was going to do. They had the courage to join and to go and fight that war. What prevented you from joining, and what gives you the feeling that after having made that choice you should be the Commander in Chief?

What BS

Kerry admitted in his book he tried to get a deferment so he could study in France and was turned down

Knowing he would be drafted into the army and be sent to Vietnam he figured he was safe if he joined the Navy ---They are his words in his book

[uncbob]

And I would have told that liberal creep that his hero Kerry testified in front of congress that HE WAS A WAR CRIMINAL

[stayathomemom]

what was Larry’s draft number in 1969?

Looks like it was 51.

[US Navy Vet]

These would have been Mr Cain’s Selective Service Classifications in 1971:
2-A Registrant deferred because of civilian occupation (non-agricultural).
2-B Registrant deferred because of occupation in a war industry: (Defense contractor or reserved occupation).

[6SJ7]

Larry was a proud member of the military; the Vietcong military.

[uncbob]

And that other democrat hero Bill Clinton applied for deferments and stated he loathed the military

[Loyal Buckeye]

Mental illness, has to be.

[reformedliberal]

It became a mark of honor to evade the draft. Many went to Canada, where they were allowed to stay. Then Carter gave them all amnesty.

Had Cain been a grunt or, worse, an officer, during VN (or any war/military action), he would be smeared with *baby killer* and held out to be totally responsible for *war crimes*. Just look at how they tried to smear Col. Alan West.

Not a leftist? You can’t win.

[ken21]

exactly.

[lormand]

It's way past time for non-liberals to abandon the old media and embrace the new media whole heartedly.

I like Cain, but he is using bad judgement or getting bad advice by appearing on shows and networks hosted and infested with hyper partisan liberals.

[GreyFriar]

And before the occupational deferment, Mr. Cain would have had a student deferment.

[lacrew]

“what was Larry’s draft number in 1969”

The article says 72...and they got to 125. Still, he did not serve - probably a college deferment.

[oh8eleven]

Being a Draft Dodger
Really? After the scumbag Slick Willie sideshow, the Left still wants to bring up the draft?
Bring it on...
