@agiacini Out of context? How exactly is commenting on a specific situation out of context? Did you not see the original GOP debate where a gay soldier was booed for posing a question about his circumstances? If you had, you would have seen every GOP candidate sit idly by, some even smirking at the crowd's negative reaction to the soldier and his question. I'd say it is the complete opposite of "out of context" -- its completely on-point.

My troop is gay and it didnt change anything other than him saying boyfriend instead of girlfriend lil different but he is still my troop

I see why the GOP and certain military personnel are afraid of gay soldiers. That dude is a fucking TANK!!!! Lol.

@Missy5854 you are a fool you miss the whole point!! and get your facts right and stop telling lies like the Republicans

Obama is a joke , No soldier should be booed but no soldier should have their pay cut either like Obama wants to do. Obama threatens the troops all the time about their pay, their retirement pay. All soldiers should get their pay. Obama sure does not cut his pay to help any one but he wants to hold troops pay. Just last week Obama said if a troop is not being shot at then they will not get their overseas pay.

Obama is a joke! No soldier should be booed but no troop should be threatened about having their pay cut or not getting their retirement pay. Obama would not give up any of his pay but he just last week said if a troop was not being shot at then they would not recieve their overseas pay. He defends one gay for a vote but he threatens all troops when it comes to their pay. He is sickening..No troop should ever worry about their pay.

@FinFags LOL, so true. If its newt, santorum, or romney he can change his campaign slogan to "Vote for Obama, because he's not Newt Gingrich"

[gametacular83]

Bring on 4 more years of Obama! Rally the troops behind him and let's get it done!

[FinFags]

Ron Paul would be the best GOP candidate to face Obama. It would be an interesting election and Obama would actually have to use facts and logic...he can just say how much Santorum,Newt,and Mittens suck and he will beat them lol

@MegaBlueZOMBIE If you think Ron Paul and Obama are interchangeable, you're not paying attention.
