'Don't ask' repeal fails in Senate

Even without facts, opinions still matter in debate; why do you think evolutionists are allowed to debate here?

Because we also allow Missing Links to post here too?

So you cannot answer the question, not surprising. You even started a thread on the Nov. 2 election so did you forget the results already? Had the Republicans stopped the Obama agenda the results would have been better thus the election results better for Democrats. DADT wasn't a big issue on Nov. 2 but the unemployment results and debt were.

I did answer your question, repeatedly. I remember what happened in November, and you neatly avoided answering my question, so I will repeat it. Do you have any evidence that DADT was an issue that worked against the democrats in November?

Apparently you have a comprehension problem like all liberals. Read my previous posts and this time read what I posted and not what you think I said. There are much bigger issues in this country than DADT and as I pointed out the elections were about the Obama agenda that created 4 million more unemployed and added 3 trillion to the debt. Since the majority in this country support repeal DADT had no impact on the election.

I stopped wasting key strokes, because even when I said, "I think; believe; etc.", Redress asked for proof.

Nice personal attack.

Kinda makes you wonder, when staff members make the thread about a certain poster. Huh?

So why keep bringing it up in this topic? See, this is what happens from expecting logic...

I think Bush is the anti-christ. It's an opinion, but it's a stupid opinion because there are zero facts to back it up. I think the sun will come up in the morning. That is an opinion based on concrete evidence. Notice the large, unsubtle difference? Your opinion on the JCS falls in the first category.
 
Well, there are numerous claims of such opinions from both sides. Instead of wasting time here, why not make a thread on this off-topic issue?

Maybe you missed it, but we are talking about an (ill-formed) opinion directly related to the topic of this thread.

Post 584 addressed your question, now tell me what the Republicans stopped of the Obama Agenda since the Republicans were obstructionists according to some here?

No, this is just another case of you trippin' over nothing. The common sense appraoch would be to agree, disagree, prove me wrong with evidence, or let it the **** go. But...we know you're not going to do that. Instead, you're going to join another staff member in taking up two pages with post about me. I know I'm awesome, but there's no need for all that.

I was wondering why you did not link to it, but now I see. This is post 584:

Conservative said:
With 16 million plus unemployed, 3 trillion more added to the debt, I doubt seriously whether this is a huge issue with the majority of the people but could be wrong. If not mistaken this was an issue on Nov. 2 and didn't seem to make much of a difference.

You in fact did not address the question of why you keep bringing it up.

Now, to repeat the same thing you have been told time and again and entirely refuse to address(you do this so often in every debate): voting to repeal DADT was put off in waiting for the DoD review at republicans request. Now the democrats cannot pass it due to Republican filibuster.

Here is the funny thing: when people make outrageous comments, it's on them to show there is some sort of evidence to back it up.

Just can't let it go, can you?
 
Those who live by facts alone are doomed to blindness. Strange, I think.

Prove me right, prove me wrong. How about we get truly hyper-pedantic and screw everything apart?

It's not an attack. You don't support your claims like expected in formal debate. I didn't call you a poopiehead.

Yeah, it's an attack. We all know it.

You and Redress are dragging the staff's repuation through the mud, with all this hooplah, about nothing.

So still I am waiting for exactly what the Republicans obstructed with regards to the Obama Agenda and more to the point, why is this issue(DADT) now? It has been in effect since 1993 so what difference does another few months make? If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen and I am still waiting for the national implications of this and why we are now into our 64th page on this thread. Sure is a lot of passion for something so irrelevant and something that affects about 4% of the population.
 
Threads like this are quite sickening.

I think the good guys are the gay soldiers in the closet defending your sorry-ass freedoms to bad-mouth them.
 
I am very disappointed. I've read back through several pages expecting hooplah and found none. Somebody owes me some.

The good guys are the folks who grab a weapon and stand to post. The rest of it is bull****.

I don't get it, 65 pages of "debate" on a topic that affects 4% of the population in a country that has 9.8% reported unemployment, probably more like 17% unemployment, a 14 trillion dollar debt and an administration that has added 4 million to the unemployment roles and 3 trillion to the debt in two years. It was these results that led to the shellacking Democrats took in Nov. and yet 65 pages of debate on DADT. Some people really have their priorities screwed up.
