The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network put out a news release Wednesday praising Duckworth for supporting legislation that would repeal the ban on letting gays and lesbians openly serve in the military.

Iraq War Veteran Running for Congress Would Allow Gays to Serve Openly in U.S. Armed Forces

I guess Tammy didn't get the memo from the DNC saying that you don't come out with your liberal socialist leanings when running in a conservative district until after the election. Howard Dean and Rahm Emmanuel are probably pulling their hair out.

Also I did a google news search with the keywords "duckworth, don't ask, don't tell" and neither of the big Chicago newspapers(Tribune & Sun-Times) reported this.

Google news search, "duckworth, don't ask, don't tell"

JMO, looks like the big Chicago newspapers wish to keep Ms. Duckworth's political blunder quiet.

Is Duckworth ready for prime time, or is she Busby redux, that is the question.

My prediction is that in ten years the military will be open to homosexuals. It already seems like it is heading that way (I don't know why I have that feeling but I do). I will retire in five years so I will just pray that the military can handle it's next experience. One more democratic President with a democratic house or senate and it is passed. Just something to ponder and of course I could be wrong but I don't believe I am...sorry to say.

"Don't ass don't smell,just ignore the stench."

In the old days we used to joke about don't drop the soap while showering at isolated sites. Under today's don't ass don't smell policy, the rule applies everywhere. Dropping the soap is okay, but pick it up at your own peril.

Another one of the rat's band of frauds getting ready to crash and burn on the truth. These frauds look good until someone, even a queer group, starts asking simple questions. "Are you for or against don't ask don't tell?" and "Are you for or against surrendering and running out of Iraq?" come to mind. None of these frauds can answer these and other questions to the liking of the voters. The vast majority of them are cannon fodder. They are running against Republicans who win with anywhere between 60 and 87%. The rat is just using these schumks to fill in names so they won't be embarrassed at not having candidates.

Duck's goose is cooked with the gays?
