[Jim Scott]

Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Scott Brown of Massachusetts have both said they are on board, joining Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine. That's four Republicans, one more than needed, and two more are considered possibilities.

This is why the Tea Party was born - and why conservatives have to defeat these RINOs that always seem to be there to pass some anti-American bill the left wants. This one could be fatal to our military strength. Senator Brown (R-MA) should be ashamed of himself. To think that Scott Brown was once celebrated on these forums. That seems like a very long time ago.

Gays shouldn’t be allowed in the military.

Why?

Because they get pissy and give our military secrets to everyone.

[Nosterrex]

These traitors should never be allowed to serve on any important committee. They need to be taken out to the political woodshed.

Strange that an observant Jew, like Lieberman, who won't even ride in a car or campaign on the Sabbath, feels he can champion homosexuality and God will give him a pass.

Democrats are so confusing.

[Mozilla]

The left along with the scum on the so-called “right” want to destroy the military as an avenue to bring in their radical leftist agenda. According to Dana Loesch the left wants to radicalize the military into leftist activists. The Left thinks that they can split social conservatives by repealing DADT. This is also a method to distract from the Omnibus and the Tax proposals floating around.

I thought the GOP Senators were going to prevent everything from coming to the floor until the tax deal was finished...I know the Senate voted to pass it, but Pelosi in the House is threatening to make changes that would mean that it isn't over, and goes back to the Senate. Wake up Stupid Party.

Gay rights lobbyists say they now have 61 Senate vote

Aren't there any red-state rats facing reelection in '12 that will oppose this? Nelson? Manchin? Landrieu?

[Blood of Tyrants]

I always thought that this lame duck Congress was going to be a final middle finger of the 111th Congress and the president. And the RINOs in Congress are right in there with them laughing at the people.

In January, the first order of business should be to reinstitute the draft and remind the public that homosexuality is no longer a means to avoid service.

[wbarmy]

The “get out of Jail” free card on this is the stand-alone repeal part of the question. Reid would have to strip the bill till there is nothing left on it to get these Republicans to vote yes. That means there would be a few Democrats who would not vote on it because their particular payoff won't be in it. There might be more legs to this than we think.

[LeoWindhorse]

F these damn RINO’s

Send in the MARINES !

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Hey Scott, hope you enjoy you ONE and ONLY (abreviated) term in the Senate.

Though I won't support his opposition (like I would the "Beeatch Sisters" from Maine and would open my wallett for even the most Far Left Lib or even Beelzebub--same thing, lol--rather than see either of the F'n RINOS's relected) I--and I would bet most others who contributed to his campaign--will NOT be sending his a dime.

Everyone knew coming in that one election would not fix what’s wrong in DC.

The fact that we have 650 new patriots in the state legislatures is where our immediate strength lies. Controlling 30 state legislatures is enough power to set dozens of brushfires that the fed doesn’t have the manpower or resources to control.

That’s where we can start serious fights we can win.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

lame duck sessions must be ended. the people voted against this.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks SmithL.

Lieberman said repeal should be brought up after the spending bill to fund the government is resolved by Saturday, and before debate resumes on the START treaty, arguing that START can be passed next year, but repeal of the gay ban cannot.
