Heh, all that faked and distorted survey for nothing.

His boyfriend is pissed about it too.

This is good news, but doesn't surprise me since congress never gets anything done to begin with. If you figure how much they make an hour they actually work, it would be astounding. McCain got well over a year of pay for doing absolutely NOTHING during mid 2007 all the way though 2008. That is just crazy. What other job allows you to traipse around the country while receiving a salary.

I’m skeptical Gates will last the year too.

““I’d have to say I’m not particularly optimistic that they’re going to get this done....”

Good.

“....I would hope that they would,” he told sailors aboard the Lincoln.”

I would hope the sailors aboard the Lincoln would have sighed in relief that it isn’t getting done actually.

Looks like the rank and file is going to have to get these turdbuckets straight on this issue,,,,,,NO !!!!

“I’d have to say I’m not particularly optimistic that they’re going to get this done, I would hope that they would,”

What a tool. These people never identify why the repeal of DADT will be such a boon to military readiness. It's just that "it's time," or "it needs to be done." Gaytes sure seems to have a peculiarly strong personal investment in making this happen.

He is saying this from a Moslem nation. How will openly gay service people be treated in the Muslim world? Just asking?

If Obama wants gays in the military, we should have gays in the military. It is his call. He is the Great ALL Knowing President!

[ViLaLuz]

He is a fool.
