That is still not enough to doom the bill. The ones who finished the
dooming had to have been Dems. And at that Harry Reid has to share the
blame. Did you think that the Republicans for the most part were
voting no because they felt that the Pentagon needed to finish their
study of how to implement the repeal of DADT? The blame is therefore
on Reid for trying to shove this bill through without any idea of how to
implement the repeal. How do you set up the troops so that the gays do
not get the krep kicked out of them. Do you allow mixed sex barracks
now? Do you separate gays and non-gays? How do you punish those who
break the new rules. What would the punishment be and where would it
occur. Do you just think Tinker Bell can pluck her magic twanger and
make it all happen with no problems? Will you take responsibility for
any problems that occur? No, all you want to do is blame anyone who
does not march in lockstep with Tommy News and his policies and call
them names. Pathetic!

Let's see - the Harry Reid policy of not allowing more than
one amendment on the bill chased the one Republican they had,
Susan Collins, away. That still left some Dems voting against the
bill. Who were they. Why not mention them since they are the
ones who doomed the bill. The Dems had the 60 they needed if they
got all their members to vote for them. Don't blame the
Republicans for this one.

Shame on the Senate. *
