Congress just voted not to start debate on reforming the military “Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell” policy.
I say Congress is a bunch of Wimps, for ducking their heads in the political sand. They come off like the ones who are afraid to come out of the closet!

This was not a vote against ending DADT. This was a vote against politics as usual. Harry Reid stuck an immigration bill, along with the military policy act, into a military funding bill.
I applaud those that voted against allowing politicians to use a funding bill as a cover to jam through their social agenda, this has to stop.
If a senator or representative wants to debate the merits of repealing DADT, then bring that up as a seperate bill and vote on it by itself. the same with the DREAM act that Harry Reid tried to sneak in.
Please do not fall for the corporate media hype that the Republicans are obstructing gay “rights” and the Democrats are champion freedom. Do not accept the lies. We want change in Washington and all we have gotten the last 21 months is business as usual.

The original DADT bill was brought in as an amendment to a defense spending bill. Every Republican today voted to not even let the debate of DADT be held. Does that tell you something about what the real issues are? DADT is almost certainly unconstitutional, and as long as Congress continues to bury the discussion and resolution of it, it is nothing less than an abrogation of responsibility by our elected leadership, who would rather make their fundraising calls than debate a matter of justice.
