    Hey Tom,  since you seem to have a little time on your hands this
    afternoon:
    Here is a post by Travis from yesterday, which is captioned,
    "Communist Goals - 1963 Congressional Record.   In the
    Congressional Record,  an excerpt from, "The Naked Communist," by
    Cleon Skousen is read and quoted.
    Why don't you take the time to see how your Senators compare to
    this track record?   How many of the current Democrats have
    supported the tenets and platform from this excerpt in 1963?   I
    bet it would shock you to learn the truth.

            Which you do, at every opportunity that you get.   There
            is a distinction however,   Those who I identify as
            "Marxists"  have a track record of their votes and policies.
            Sometimes the truth hurts Tom, but when politicians vote
            in a Marxist fashion, what else would one call them?

                    No Tom, you're missing the real issue here,
                    blinded by some secondary issue.
                    First, the Pentagon should have every right to
                    review and determine how repeal of DADT
                    will effect the military.  Second, and more
                    importantly, the goal by the Marxists is to lock
                    the Republicans out of amending the proposed
                    Defense  Appropriations bill now before the
                    Congress.  I don't trust the likes of Chuck
                    Schumer, Barney Frank, and a host of other
                    Marxists controlling the vote over Defense
                    Appropriations.  You shouldn't either.
                     From CNN:
                    
http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/09/20/senate.defense.bill/index.html

                    But in a statement issued Monday night, Senator
                    Susan Collins  (Confused, Maine)  said she would
                    side with the rest of the GOP because the
                    Democratic leadership of the Senate "intends to
                    shut Republicans out of the debate."

                    Collins said she agreed with the chairman of the
                    Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, that the
                    law is "simply not fair." But she said Senate
                    Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, should give
                    Republicans and Democrats "an equal opportunity"
                    to offer amendments to the defense bill.

                    "Now is not the time to play politics, and I again
                    call on the majority leader to work with
                    Republican leaders to negotiate an agreement so
                    that the Senate can debate the defense bill this
                    week," Collins said.

                    In a separate statement, Snowe also indicated she
                    would support a Republican filibuster, saying the
                    chamber should be allowed a full debate on the
                    measure. Snowe also questioned why the Senate
                    would vote on repeal before the military has
                    completed its review.

                    "We should all have the opportunity to review that
                    report which is to be completed on December 1, as
                    we reevaluate this policy and the implementation
                    of any new changes," Snowe's statement said.

                    The defense authorization act, which is a broad
                    defense policy bill, would not rescind "don't ask,
                    don't tell" until after the Pentagon completes a
                    review of the repeal's impact on the military. The
                    review is due in December and would serve as the
                    basis for necessary certification by the
                    president, defense secretary and chairman of the
                    Joint Chiefs of Staff that the military could
                    handle repealing the policy.
