(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, told a West Palm Beach, Fla., television station over the weekend that he is now okay with homosexuals in the military and does not want to reverse the repeal of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy.
“I talked to a lot of good friends of mine who are combat leaders in the theater, and they just didn’t think the timing of this was right to do this when our troops were in the middle of harm’s way in combat,” Ryan told WPTV Saturday, when asked about the one-year anniversary of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, told a West Palm Beach, Fla., television station over the weekend that he is now okay with homosexuals in the military and does not want to reverse the repeal of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy.
“I talked to a lot of good friends of mine who are combat leaders in the theater, and they just didn’t think the timing of this was right to do this when our troops were in the middle of harm’s way in combat,” Ryan told WPTV Saturday, when asked about the one-year anniversary of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
“Now that it’s done, we should not reverse it. I think that would be a step in the wrong direction because people have already disclosed themselves.”
“I think this issue is past us,” he added. “It’s done. And I think we need to move on.”
They'd argue hetero's openly discuss their family life, relationships, put pictures of their significant others on their desks, etc. These people claim they want to do the same, and now they are.
The homo issues are a great example of the power leftists have over us via the mainstream media and entertainment establishment. We have entirely lost the youth on this issue. Otherwise conservative younger folks are increasingly pro gay marriage.
Sheesh-they sure do want to make it tough-I have to repeat to myself, like a mantra to hypnotise myself, “Hussein will destroy this country, Hussein hates whites, Hussein will destroy America”. If I would crawl over broken glass to vote in this election, it’s to get Hussein OUT, not out of love for this crew. Ryan is really a let-down for social conservatives.
I thought he was Catholic?
Way to rally my vote R&R.
They have all this PRIDE! DADT was just not good enough,
it’s all about the egos and flaunting the sin. (or both
sins)
Our side traded 2 years of temporary extension of the Bush tax cuts in 2010 Christmas lame duck session for the repeal of DADT. What a mistake....
Just proved he isn't.
I agree.
There is no way the Republican congress will go against him.
I’m Catholic and had hopes for Ryan. No more.

The best we can do this November is throw a speed bump on the road to destruction of America. Freakin’ sad.
I was dumb enough to think that he was “more” Catholic than the other CINOs. Fooled once again. What is that saying about half-measures availing us nothing?
We can’t stop killing babies either.
This just ruins everything! What a vital issue.

Exactly, which is why this election stinks to you know what.
Conservatives don't really have a dog in this race. We either get to vote for unadulterated Marxism and the swift demise of everything we hold dear, or we can vote to continue the long-term status quo of slowly sliding to the left.
Damn this election!
I have NO sympathy for Romney and Ryan. None. They're completely ignoring the true wind at their backs.
This is pandering to some mythical 'middle-of-the-road' voter, who they think will carry them over the top. The price of pandering to that segment of the population, is betraying the trust of the majority of those who will vote for them.
And once they're in office, who will they answer to? We, the majority? I hardly think so.
I've never liked Mitt Romney, and have said since the primaries, that I would never give him my vote. My intentions have not changed. I will still vote the down-ticket like my life depends on it.
Yep, as predicted time and again on this website.
