Maybe, but Skelton has always been the military’s go-to guy on the Rat side of the aisle. Translation: The chiefs have been talking to him and warning him that repeal would cause the military rank and file to ultimately disintegrate.

Watching Joe Lieberman talking about repealing Don’t ask policy seems a little nuts. Did he serve? Why are they not waiting for the report from the Pentagon before voting?

No kiddin, all we need is to have to build bathhouses in Afghanistan...

Ike hasn't done anything that a straight thinking Republican wouldn't do. He shows up to hand out money for police and military (taking credit for looking after these agencies as if he were the sole shareholder) yet never answers a direct question from a constituent.
His appearances are always carefully controlled media events where he will not take questions from the public and only from the media when the discussion is about his favorite topic.
Ike voted for the Cap & Trade legislation that would fundamentally derail this nation, destroy our agriculture, make us entirely dependent on Asia for our machinery and manufacturing and set back our standard of living by at least 50 years.
He's the last of the KC Pendergast regime, never held a job in private industry, though he likes to appear as the ‘old country lawyer” he never wrote so much as a last will and testament.
