Burr explained his reasoning to reporters after final passage.
It's just that weve 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. Its 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.
Might be time for a primary challenge.....
Why was Kirk a surprise??? He’s gay.
He will lose the primary for this.
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.
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)
ART. 125. SODOMY

(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
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.
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.
I predict Senatewhore Brown will come out of the closet and run as a dem-o-rat.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Then the democrats (with their help) shoved it right up America's back side.
Nice flag waving guys.........you're all so, so.........liked by the MSM now (for a week).
A further prediction: within 6 months, a male homo will demand a sex change at taxpayer expense, and be assigned to one of the female military units.
“.....with the closeted gay members of Congress, like Aaron Schock, Lindsey Graham, or Mark Kirk. ...”

Restoring the Republic is a work in progress. We made a great start in 2010. The work continues into 2012 and beyond.
“Another surprise of the day was Kirk, who was just elected to the Senate.”
Surprise to who? I fully expected Kirk to support repeal, regardless of what he was or was not publicly saying. Kirk is, and will continue to be, a very liberal Republican.
Sometimes a “half a loaf” candidate is the best one can hope for. But I suspect, when all is said and done, Kirk is not so much half a loaf than “that last end slice of the loaf that you really didn’t want to eat but did anyway because you didn’t have anything else to spread your peanut butter and jelly on” Republican.
Get ready to see male soldiers holding hands, cupping buttocks, kissing, etc...in uniform.
Get ready to see gay, pink shorts wearing and hair-ribboned loved ones welcoming their soldiers back.
And all of this will lead to a ban on any type of display of affection...which will lead to open acrimony, etc.
Don’t even want to think about the lawsuits and assaults resulting from soldiers (both straight & gay) serving in the foxholes of Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Satan must be throwing a party tonight.
If these eight douchebag politicians didn’t vote yes for this would this have passed?
Also, ask yourselves. Around the world, in all militaries, do you think that Russia has a homo brigade. China, Iran any muslim nation for that matter, again, do they have homos serving openly in there militaries?
All the experts ... are LIARS. Just primary these RINOs into the dustbin of history.
