John McCain wants study of DADT study

[joeybee12]

Just as this blog predicted, Senator John McCain yesterday called for a new study of the soon to be released Don't Ask, Don't Tell study. The reason he wants it is already clear, to delay the inevitable integration of the U.S. military.

But at this point his objections are starting to have the ring of French farce. Complete with slamming doors and raised voices in his own home, presumably.

What McCain's really looking for, it seems clear, is to keep gays from serving openly without the threat of DADT.

"Once we get this study, we need to have hearings. And we need to examine it. And we need to look at whether it's the kind of study that we wanted," McCain told the press yesterday. "It isn't, in my view, because I wanted a study to determine the effects of the repeal on battle effectiveness and morale," McCain added.

And then we can study that study...and then...and then...why is anyone listening to this POS?

1. And if the results are diametrically in opposition to his stance of keeping DADT,

he will dispute the study.

5. I'm beginning to think he protests a little too much, like what's he trying

to hide about himself. We've seen this pattern of behavior over and over again ...

6. I wonder what he did to scare his bovine daughter

into compliance with the Party Line. Maybe he threatened to cut her off in his will. Or maybe his wife threatened to cut off her pain meds.

14. I think he's just a little too homophobic ... Also, there have been plenty of

war heroes. This guy gets a free pass, like he's some type of god. I had many friends die, POW and etc. I'm tired hearing bigots.

8. I don't think we really need a study...he's obviously certifiably insane..nt

7. Oh for fuck sakes. Get off my lawn.

9. In presume it won't be the kind of study that we want until it says that DADT should remain in place

12. Sadly, I think you're right. Can't Reid ignore his delay tactic?

:grr:

10. Isn't McCain the Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee?

If this survey didn't use the words he wanted or studied the specific topics he was interested in, couldn't he have said so before the first survey went out?

:shrug:

11. What an ass.

That is all.

13. I Could Have Predicted This...

McCain is a homophobic old dinosaur who will do ANYTHING to block our progress.

[RKP5637]

15. Yep, right out of the cavemen era, an extinct species, a true homophobic old dinosaur out

of touch.

16. Hearings + Study = Table It. You know it, joeybee12.
