Notice Burr's convoluted explanation:

Burr explained his reasoning to reporters after final passage.

“It's just that we’ve had a generational change and I have vehemently objected to making a policy change of this magnitude at this time. When cloture was passed, that settled that,” Burr said. “It’s not accepted practice anywhere in our society, and it only makes sense. But again, I was vehemently opposed to the timing of this.”

*********************************

No wonder he had such a hard time getting reelected. He will have a harder time in 2016.

Too bad no one challenged Burr this year. We have to wait six long years to get rid of him.

I think the “gay” RINOs have all come out of the closet.

I knew he was a tad jelly spine on imigration. Thought he was OK on DADT.

Thats it for me - I’ll vote for the D in 2016.

At least when I get stabed in the back I’ll know it was the enemy.

This is messed up. They really heard nothing on election day.

I guess this is a social issue that is getting in the way??

Bye bye effective fighting force, hello Pink Corps.

Don't know if it would make a difference or not 'But' .. Wouldn't any vote determining military practice be better served if it were law that those voting actually Served in the military?

And I DO mean .. Served!

Well since now they can “tell” ... seems to me they ought to wear it as a badge like a medal. How about a nice little frilly ribbon for uniform lapel ... that would look nice.

To all:

The House GOP when it takes control of the Chamber next year needs to have hearings and call as witnesses those who can attest to this policy’s near certain failure. We need to spotlight this and educate the American people to what is being done to the military in the interests not of national defense but political correctness.

The incoming Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee is Howard Buck McKeon from the 25th District of California.

The House Armed Services cCommittee can be contacted after January 4 at:

2340 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515

So now we have a military of poofters. Once they real men flee, they will draft squads of light in the loafers fools.

Goodbye America, and thanks to the GOP scum that made this possible.

I knew this country was dead. The Senate will be the undoing in 2012.
