...the Dems can't wait til Fall...it's too close to the election....they've got to start pandering to the homosexual vote now...they're grabbing votes any way they can...they know they're in trouble...Puerto Rican statehood, union pension bailouts, legal attacks on Arizona, with more dirty tricks to come.

Allowing fags and lesbians in the military is a big mistake. I don’t want to shower with a fag checking out my junk. I’m sure the women don’t want the bull dykes checking them out either. If it doesn’t matter then why not just make the showers and rooms all co-ed?

Oh and I know several gay people that say they definitely check out the people in the gym locker room.

Its for votes.

This is typical of the current administration: Proceed with implementing something based on limited and often erroneous data that results only from those who shout the loudest, not necessarily the majority. And then try to justify it after it’s being implemented. Witness pelosi’s statement: “You have to pass it to find out what’s in it...” pertaining to obamacare.

I think the dem strategists have come to the conclusion that they are going to lose one or both houses of congress in November or at least have their margins cut to such a degree they will not be able to pass any more of Obama's agenda. Therefore, they are in panic mode, trying to ram through as much as possible before then.

They really only have about 3 months left because congress is in recess the month of August, then they come back for a month before they recess for the election season. Out of that 3 months, at least one month the senate will be tied up with the Kagan hearings. So they are really down to crunch time.

I am betting this goes the same way as immigration reform , Obama: ”IF only I had a few Republican votes I could get this done”

Yesterday on MSNBC Maddow (who is completely unbiased regarding this topic even being a lesbian herself) had an activist saying we need to do this now for :1) national security due to manpower needs, 2) to fix the deficit (hasn't this one been used before?)

Regarding #1. Will troops promoting open homosexuality policing Muslim countries really help the situation?

Oh please. Do they actually think Pelosi/Reid give a damn about what the Pentagon has to say?

Maybe it is because the CIC wants to come out of the closet?
