...governing AGAINST the will of the people. After the November elections, the message was loud and clear. YET, Washington continues to spit in our face and protect their own (Repubs & Dems).

Dems and their fag minions don’t care if our troops die as long as they are singing show tunes when they do it.

Might as well be a Rat . . . at least it put an R in the Kennedy seat.

The pin up has already been photographed too, he posed for Playgirl.

Brown is just another emotional idiot, not thinking things through like everyone else who supports gay marriage and repeal of DADT. I guess the U.S. has not yet hit bottom, but with this idiocy we soon will.

If Brown thinks this will save him from an all-out challenge from the Massachusett’s democrats, he’s delusional.

If this passes, I would urge MA republicans to vote against him. Put a rat in again since there's no difference between the two. If anything, it will teach Rinos a lesson.

They all take bribes for their votes!

I believe they have Princess Lisa, one of the Maine twins and Scott Brown.

Soo frustrating! Hopefully they can delay this crap.

OK, flame away...but...

WHO THE HELL CARES? I really couldn’t care less about someones sexual orientation as long as they don’t flaunt it, and they’re willing to do what the military asks them to do.

We’re facing a trillion dollar deficit and THIS is what people are worried about?

“Contrary to popular belief, members of Congress are human beings. They have a certain shelf life and a certain amount of energy to be drawn on. We’re tired.”

Sounds like that a$$hole in the Gulf “I just want my life back.”

I thought this guy was better than this. Between him and The Weeper of the House, what are we coming to?

Betcha enlistments drop

All part of their plan, my FRiend... when enlistments drop, the Donk's chorus will be "we can't sustain the military with current enlistments"... then we'll see them do a full court press to reinstate the military draft.

Just like with Cao in Louisiana, he virtually voted with the Rats every time, but he still lost his seat.

RE: Okay so what R’s voted yes?

You know that Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins would reliably side with Dems on issues like these. So, there you go.

Then you have Lisa Murkowski who might as well be Democrat.

You have no problem with people with mental disorders being trained to efficiently kill other humans and being given the most effective means to do so?

Which is exactly today's policy under DADT. Repealing it allows them to flaunt it.

This is why I said that Republican leaders needed to be firm that NOTHING should happen during the lame duck session. They needed to get all the Senators on board about it. There is no reason to be acting on anything now, unless you are a RINO who knows that the conservatives are coming to town and you join the Democrats in wanting to get the things done that you can't in 2 weeks.

They needed to say that we don't support this refudiated Congress doing anything, that the American people have spoken and sent a new group to Washington, and that we can wait until they get here. Then force your caucus to agree to that proposition. Otherwise, you get a very liberal house and a Senate that has only 41 Republicans passing legislation that we can't filibuster because they can always pick off one or two RINOs on any individual issue. They needed to make it a blanket, principled decision--No Lame Duck Legislation.

But in their hearts, the GOP leaders fear the newcomers as much as the Dems do.

Well, that’s exactly the point of DADT repeal — SO THAT THEY CAN FLAUNT IT ! OPENLY.

If they did not want to flaunt it and proclaim to the world that they’re gay — why fight to repeal a law that was working so well ?
