2. It baffles me why any self-respecting gay man or lesbian
... would support either of the Clintons.

Bill courted our vote and then sold us out on don't ask/don't tell, DOMA, etc., and now Hillary is running to the right like a hooker after the 7th Fleet.

Sorry, but one Clinton was bad enough. I refuse to take the risk of putting another one in the White House.

3. So you'd rather have a gay-bashing Repugnican?
Not me!

4. I'd rather not have the Clintons or their slimy DLC ilk
At least the Republicans have enough integrity stab you in the front. With the Clintons you'd get it in the back when you least expect it.

Give me a real Democrat who believes passionately in Democratic principles and I'll support them whole-heartedly. Give me a "Republican-lite" candidate like Hillary and I'll sit the election out or vote third party ... and if the Repugnantcans win, then maybe the Democratic Party will wake up and realize that trying to play the suck-up game with moderates is a losing proposition.

5. With ya on this kweer
Though, as a woman, I might have to vote abortion interests if a serious anti-choice candidate is elected.

7. Agree wholeheartedly
The general Democrat attitude towards gay rights is one of the big reasons I don't like the Democratic Party. I can not forgive Clinton for authorizing DADT and DOMA, and I refused to support Gore because (among many other reasons) he put the whining face on rationalizing how denying gay people "a fundamental human right" was a Good Thing. Hillary and the rest of the DLC have even less to offer this gay atheist than even Bill and Al.

Why is it so bloody difficult to find a Dem candidate the rank-and-file can feel good about supporting? Why is it that they only offer damn candidates whose one and only redeeming feature is, "They're not Bush"?

6. I am so tired of hearing this sell out nonsense
Don't Ask Don't Tell was an out and out loss. He should have waited to get his own team in place at DOD before trying it, but he still might have lost anyhow. I wish he hadn't lost but he did. It wasn't a sell out, it was a loss.

8. As I recall...
Such changes in military policy are implemented through legislative means. In other words, Congress passes a bill that the president signs. Clinton signed the bill that created DADT, just as he signed the bill that created DOMA. He could have refused to sign the bills; it is a constitutionally protected presidential power called a "veto."

That is a sell-out, not a loss.

9. Had he not signed it
the ban would have stayed in place. That ban was already law.
