McCain Continues to Move the Goalposts on DADT Repeal

What a surprise. John McCain continues to move the goalposts on repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell with another round of new excuses of why he won't vote for it. Instead of listening to the military leaders, now it's listen to the military leaders I agree with. Now the report we were supposed to be waiting on is the wrong kind of report and there need to be hearings to study it.

McCain: Congress needs time to study 'Don't ask' report:

McCain said that he expects a major report to be issued in early December on the impact of a repeal.

After that, members of Congress should have time to review the report and hold hearings on the study and its findings.

"Once we get this study we need to have hearings and we need to examine it and…and see if it's the kind of study we wanted," McCain said.

He reiterated his view that the study must examine "the effect on morale and battle effectiveness on the U.S. Army" rather than what policy is most popular, he said.

1. Well, you’re obviously being totally naive of course
"Well, you’re obviously being totally naive of course", said the girl, "When you’ve been in marketing as long as I have, you'll know that before any new product can be developed it has to be properly researched. We’ve got to find out what people want from fire, how they relate to it, what sort of image it has for them."

The crowd were tense. They were expecting something wonderful from Ford.

"Stick it up your nose," he said.

"Which is precisely the sort of thing we need to know," insisted the girl, "Do people want fire that can be fitted nasally?"

"And the wheel," said the Captain, "What about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project."

"Ah," said the marketing girl, "Well, we're having a little difficulty there."

"Difficulty?" exclaimed Ford. "Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It's the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!"

The marketing girl soured him with a look.

"Alright, Mr. Wiseguy," she said, "if you're so clever, you tell us what color it should be."

2. Amazing patience being displayed by Senator BombIran on this subject.
Every other issue, he either can't wait for, or isn't interested in hearing, other information.

The Republican answer to every attempt that President Obama and the Democrats make to solve a problem (usually one that the Republicans created)!

11. WHY oh WHY does McCain hate the TROOPS?
Why does he hate America so much?

Yes, it is stupid to ask such questions over this issue, but that's the point. The RW machine would throw out those lines over the simplest and most irrelevant matters. They can wear a little of that mud too.
