1. But, but, but...if we don't have a two-year long STUDY, how will we

know for sure????? :sarcasm:

3. I guess we can point out that gays fought in WWII and helped defeat Hitler?

Naaawwww, that won't work...

[Unvanguard]

9. The study is absurd and homophobic, but I don't think it's "two-year long."

If I recall correctly, it is supposed to be completed by December.

2. That's a HUGE turnaround from 20 years ago. That IS progress! nt

4. I think this is great - but we didn't wait for

Racial minorities to win 'popularity contests'
before enacting desegregation in the
military and schools.

This just provides one less rock to hide behind I guess.

5. Therefore the blue dogs need to get off their asses and vote the right way

when the repeal comes up for a vote.

[Cha]

7. I really dislike my blue dog..he

voted against HCR and I called him on it..so I just got a letter in the mail with him whining about it to the left of Dennis Kucinich.

So glad I'm leaving his District and moving 1/2 way around the world.

[Thrill]

6. The real question is why would anyone think they shouldn't?

This is one of the dumbest laws ever.

8. well...

HCR... tough fight.

Cap n Trade... tough fight

Stimulus Bill... tough fight

Immigration Reform... tough fight





repeal DADT?? that's low hanging fruit... just do it. Represent a good slice of your base, Mr. POTUS...

10. Awesome! America's down to only 20% assholes!
