I didn't hear the U.S. military complaining when the British military among others joined our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, a military that has openly gay men and women fighting alongside our own. Where was the lack of cohesion and morale then?

@Smiter5 well then they are running out of time, once the GOP take back control of the house, no bill for gay rights reform will ever pass. yet you still follow them like a blind fool.

what are the chances of passing or reforming liberal views when the GOP is in control..zero. you are chasing a black dog at night.

[Islander255]

Hah, you mean the GOP TRIED to block DADT repeal. In the end, they failed. It was close as fuck, BUT THEY FAILED!!

:D

[pangeyi]

It's a shame that John Mcan is from Arizona.

And when you think Bill Clinton put this policy in place, the GOP should've considered getting Bill on their ship... Quite impressive, I say...

[nicksum29]

Ah, who cares. It just means fewer murderers running around the Middle East.

God, I hate filibuster's, what a waste of time, literally. The only reason I can see that they still exist is that if anyone tried to repeal the ability to filibuster, well I think we know how that would go.

@souther as much as i hate the Republicans for what they are and stand for but as of late, the Democrats have been annoying more. So i agree that the democrats need to grow some backbones and just unite as a whole like the GOP is but sadly they are not, what ashame and pathetic.

however, i still support them

[MOKandRIFF]

@souther i'm frustrated with the Democrats. Absolutely. It's just very telling that NOT ONE REPUBLICAN SUPPORTED NOR PROMOTED EQUALITY.

shameful. shameful shameful shameful.

[souther]

@MOKandRIFF if you really feel that way about the republicans then there's no point in caring what they do.

But you are directing your frustration at the wrong group. the spineless coward morons which is the democrats are not united. they could have easily passed this bill but a few voted against. you are using the GOP as a scapegoat and turning a blind eye which is the true problem, the democrats.
