Romney Supports ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

I support that position. However I believe a soldier should be able to bend over and pick up a dropped bar of soap in the shower without worrying about a homo being present and ready to attack.

[JRios1968]

Looks like the good ship Romney is taking water...

[areafiftyone]

I think Romney is right on this one. It has worked in the Military.

Well hopefully that hasn't happened at all yet. (((SHUDDER)))))

Are you under the impression that gay shower rape is a common problem in the US Army?

[snowrip]

And if there needed to be another nail in the Romney coffin, here it is.

Well, of course he's right as Romney has taken every conceivable position on the issue (against gays, for don't ask don't tell, and for open service). If you don't agree with Romney, wait ten minutes.

That has to be one of the most ignorant things I have read here on FR, and believe me, there's some fierce competition here.

Having served alongside plenty of open gays in the Israeli Defence Forces, I can't say I ever heard of anyone being "attacked" by a gay soldier. If that ever happened, the attacker would be courtmartialed and would spend the next few decades in a rather unpleasant military prison.

I just wish, for once, Republican candidates start talking reforming the tax code, about how the size and power of the federal government has increased exponentially and that states are becoming more and more irrelevant. They should decline to answer all social issue questions from the MSM, who are just trying to get them to say the wrong thing and split conservatives as ABC tried to do with Romney here.

Any questions about his Mormon faith, Romney should just decline to comment. I am so tired of these social issues. When are Republicans going to start getting back to free markets and limited government?

[Cvengr]

You are correct, it has helped destroy the US military.

[EternalVigilance]

I am so tired of these social issues.

I'll bet you are.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Why don't you guys just work to limit the government, which would actually take care of everything else. Gun control, abortion, and homosexuals are all the result of expanded federal power.

[Parley Baer]

To Hildy

Have you ever served in the military? I spent 4 years in the Navy and can tell you of some things that have happened aboard ship.

[RockinRight]

I seriously doubt it happens, and if it does, I would expect a pretty severe penalty for the offender.

[Jake The Goose]

Bravo - Bravo,

I am also sick and tired of people demanding that the leader of free world center his or her concerns around issues of personal choice.

Take care of your own house and the world will be just fine.

Social issues are no longer the rule of the day.

We are at war.

[TChris]

I'm fine with that policy. I object to homosexual behavior in the military, but not necessarily to the mere presence of gay troops.

[blowfish]

Excuse me, your ignorance is showing.

[areafiftyone]

I think it has worked well. And it has.
