This has been shoved down our throats so much it is hard not to let out some remark!! When I was in the military it was not tolerated you were drummed out. Unfit to serve! When your in boot camp and have to take showers with other guys you sure don’t want some gay guy scoping you out!!!

You seem to be suggesting I support his point of view. I’ve done no such thing. I just think those who are serving have the right to ask a question of a candidate—yep, even gay ones.

Doesn’t mean I support the point of view. But I don’t get this “shoving down our throats” thing. Nothing any supporter of this crap has ever done has been about that. (VOTING for pols who support such positions is something else entirely.)

I don’t see what is achieved by the crowd responses in these situations. Much better, to me, to let them have their say, and then let the candidates articulate their positions. If they make sense, then those we need to draw to our side will not be put off by boos that hit people on the emotional level. Let the intellectual argument carry the day, not momentarily satisfying boos.
