Guess you just can't handle the truth, Tommy Boy. Shame, that!

What was offensive was Fat Teddy doing what he did to Mary Jo Kopechne
and to Bork and handing our plans to the Russians during the Reagan
administration - also disrespectful and anti-American. I don't even
come close to the things that man did both to us and to the women he
maltreated all those years.
And you are still trying to couple all the votes against the military
budget and claiming that it was voted down for the repeal inclusion and
that is not true like so many of your claims. In my estimation the
Dream Act was more voted against than the DADT provision was. That is
more of a problem than the DADT is.
What you can't seem to realize is that if you want to parade that
concept around then you need to get the vote specifically on that
issue. Until you do that then you are just blowing smoke without any basis.

So? That is normal procedure. The reason the bill was voted down was
DADT repeal inclusion. John McCain led the vote against cloture. He
and the Republicans also put our troops at risk by voting against the
bill.
And, Dick the Prick, calling Ted Kennedy "Fat Teddy" is both
offensive, disrespectful, and anti-American.

And check the military budget for what is in it and you will see
the Dream Act and the DADT repeal and a lot of other things including a
statue for Fat Teddy in Mass. That budget bill was what was voted down
and the attachments were why it was voted down. DADT was never
attempted to be repealed by itself.

Greg-
The senate voted this fall AGAINST debating the repealing Don't Ask
Don't
Tell.
John McCain led the oppositon, and I watched the entire debate and
vote on C-Span.
It appears that it is YOU who are misinformed.

Sorry Tom, but Reid piggy backed several items, including Dream Act
and DADT in an appropriations bill. So, you have no idea what was
filibustered. Thats just math.

No, you are mistaken.
The GOP in the Senate, led by John McCain, filibustered, voted
against Cloture, and blocked DADT repeal.
The blame lies with GOP Senators John McCain, Boehner, Mitch
McConnell,
etc.
Every single republican voted against cloture. Every single one.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell has BEEN repealed. Obama and his DOJ are
fighting that in court.
Feel silly yet?

This obstrucionist behavior of the Republicans is dispicable. Call,
Fax and Write your two US Senators and DEMAND the repeal of DADT
during this session of Congress. They now claim that this is not the
right time to repeal DADT. Exactly why not? This month is the right
time and the only time, or this could take years when the new Grand
Obstrucionist Party led Congress is sworn in in January with thier
primary agenda being making the President of The United States fail.
Mitch McConnell: Don't' Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Won't Happen This
Year,
Tax Cuts Will Be Extended (VIDEO)
WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sent a
message to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) repeal advocates on
Sunday:
Don't hold your breath. He said the policy change is unlikely to
happen this year. He stated, however, that the prognosis for passing
an extension of unemployment benefits and tax cuts looks brighter.
The National Defense Authorization Act, said McConnell on NBC's
"Meet
the Press" on Sunday, typically takes two weeks. "I don't see how we
can possibly finish the defense authorization bill, a two-week bill,
fully aside from these controversial items that are in it -- there
are
a whole lot of other things in it -- before the end of the year."
When asked by host David Gregory whether he thinks there is enough
support to lift the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the
military, McConnell simply replied, "My personal view is that Sen.
McCain is correct on this. I tend to follow his lead. We'll find out
when we finally get around to debating this bill, which I think will
be before the end of the year." McCain, of course, has been one of
the
most vocal opponents of repealing DADT, consistently finding new
explanations for supporting the ban.
