In and interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, rap singer Eminem was asked would he would be voting for in the upcomming elections. (Excerpt from the interview below)
President Bush is "like dog chasing its tail," the Hollywood-bound Eminem tells the magazine, set to street during the first week of November.
RS: You get deep into your feelings about President Bush and Iraq on “Mosh.” Do you think the Iraq War was a mistake?
E: He’s been painted to be this hero and he’s got our troops over there dying for no reason. I haven’t heard an explanation yet that I can understand. Explain to us why we have troops over there dying.
RS: There is no good answer.
E: I think he started a mess. America is the best country there is, the best country to live in. But he’s f**kin’ that up and could run our country into the ground. He jumped the gun, and he f**ked up so bad he doesn’t know what to do right now. He’s in a tailspin, running around like a dog chasing its tail. And we got young people over there dyin’, kids in their teens, early twenties that should have futures ahead of them. And for what? It seems like a Vietnam 2. Bin Laden attacked us and we attacked Saddam. We ain’t heard from Saddam for ten years, but we go attack Saddam. Explain why that is. Give us some answers.
RS: Are you voting?
E: This is the first year I’ve registered to vote. And I’m gonna vote. Bush is definitely not my homie, but I’m still undecided. Kerry has been known to say some things that’s caught my attention, made a few statements I’ve liked, but I don’t know. Whatever my decision is, I would like to see Bush out of office. I don’t wanna see my little brother get drafted. He just turned eighteen. I don’t want to see him lose his life. People think their votes don’t count, but people need to get out and vote. Every motherf**kin’ vote counts.
In a release on October 15, the draft rumors were once again diminished by Bush-Cheney '04 Spokeman Steve Schmidt said:
"John Kerry's efforts to spread false internet rumors on the draft undermine his own credibility. He has demonstrated for the second day in a row that he is a candidate willing to do or say anything to score political points. The American people saw John Kerry this week cast aside any attempt at decency and his fear mongering today confirms that."
RELEASE BY BUSH-CHENEY '04:
Kerry Says That If President Bush Wins Re-Election There Is "A Great Potential" For A Military Draft. "There is 'a great potential' for a military draft in the United States should President Bush win re-election in November, Democratic challenger John Kerry said Thursday during an interview with The Des Moines Register. 'With George Bush, the plan for Iraq is more of the same and the great potential of a draft,' Kerry said during a meeting with Register reporters and editors before headlining a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds." (Thomas Beaumont, "Kerry: Potential Great For Return Of Draft," Des Moines Register, 10/15/04)
The Bush Administration Says The Draft Is Not Returning
President Bush: "We're Not Going To Have A Draft, Period." BUSH: "We're not going to have a draft, period. The all- volunteer army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops well. It works when we make sure they've got housing, like we have done in the last military budgets. An all-volunteer army is best suited to fight the new wars of the 21st century, which is to be specialized and to find these people as they hide around the world." (President George W. Bush, Second Presidential Debate, St. Louis, MO, 10/8/04)
Donald Rumsfeld Calls Suggestion Of Bush Initiated Draft "Nonsense." When asked if by the Armed Services Committee about initiating the draft, Secretary Rumsfeld replied, "That is absolute nonsense... It's absolutely false that anyone in this administration is considering reinstituting the draft." (Donald Rumsfeld, Senate Armed Services Committee, 9/23/04)
The Defense Department Says The Draft Is Not Returning
Conscripted Forces Are More Expensive, Less Effective, Less Likely To Reenlist And Less Motivated. "With a conscripted force comes higher personnel turnover, which results in substantial costs. Shorter enlistment terms, characteristic of a draft, result in high personnel turnover and a degradation in unit stability and performance. …Draftees also are less likely to reenlist. …With a volunteer military comes a more motivated force." (Office Of The Under Secretary Of Defense For Personnel & Readiness, "Conscription Threatens Hard-Won Achievements and Military Readiness," Press Release, 1/14/03)
With A Volunteer Force, The Military Opts For Broad Mechanization To Lower Costs, A Scheme "Not Compatible With A Conscripted Force." (Office Of The Under Secretary Of Defense For Personnel & Readiness, "Conscription Threatens Hard-Won Achievements and Military Readiness," Press Release, 1/14/03)
The Media Says The Draft Is Not Returning
NBC News Says Draft Proposals Were Introduced By Democrats As A Protest Against The War. JIM MIKLASZEWSKI: "Internet postings claim the Selective Service System has been given $28 million to prepare for a draft and is secretly hiring 10,000 people for draft boards nationwide. Pentagon officials call it 'bunk.' The e-mails also highlight two bills to reinstate the draft pending in the House and Senate. But both have almost no political support and both are sponsored by Democrats. Congressman Charlie Rangel admits he introduced his bill in part as a protest to the war in Iraq." (NBC's "Nightly News," 9/29/04)
