'Don't ask' repeal fails in Senate

His own party is sold, it's conservatives who are resisting the military on this. Keep spinning though, it's hilarious to watch.

Whether or not conservatives are resisting is irrelevant, nothing has been presented in the House which has over a 100 seat Democrat majority. Where is the legislatiion there? As for the Senate, he had more than enough votes earlier in his term and the wind behind his back after being elected but did nothing until almost 2 years later yet you blame the Republicans. There was a blizzard in the midwest yesterday, was that the Republicans fault too?

Do you do anything besides blame others and make excuses and spin?
 
Just quoting "your President" or aren't you paying attention?

Then you either have a major listening comprehension deficit or you are dishonestly twisting what was actually said.

Looks like a little baiting and trolling to me, how about responding to the lack of DADT being on the President's agenda for the past 18 months?
 
Then post the actual quote, you made the claim

Actually, you made the claim. You can stop being dishonest anytime now. Or not, it's your integrity and character.

I did. Damn him for thinking republicans would be reasonable on an issue and do what the military requests.
 
When is doubt, run for other topics and hope no one notices. I know it's difficult, but can you, maybe, actually talk about the topic instead of inane whines about Obama?




Did you not ask "what promised did Obama break?".


That was you right?




Talk about whining... Dood you asked the question. Being Snotty does about it doesn't help the debate. :)


So if you dont want answers you dont like, dont ask the questions. :shrug:

What promise did he break. He has said all along that DADT repeal needs to come from congress.

Note the direct reference to DADT in my comment. I realize the point had been demolished and you where left with no option but to admit it or try and change the subject, but I had hoped you would go with the honest method.

Now this is an inane excuse.... :lol:

He waited so he'd have someone to blame and to protect democrats....

I know, thinking republicans might be honest and reasonable is lame.
 
Got it, Democrats Good, Republicans Bad, thanks for the non partisan rhetoric.

I never claimed to be nonpartisan.

The roles here are easy to fill though. On e side wants to do what the military requests, the other side doesn't. Watching the hypocrisy of those who cry every time they think some one doesn't do what the military requests now crying because democrats tried to do what the military requested is hilarious and makes the good guy bad guy role easy to fill.
 
Almost as lame as thinkin democrats would be.... :doh

You seem to not have followed the way this went. Democrats said "let's repeal DADT". Republicans said "Let's have the DoD/Pentagon look into it first", democrats say "that's reasonable, let's do it". DoD/Pentagon don't come back with the results republicans want, so they refuse to do it and blame democrats for delaying like the republicans asked. So who again was unreasonable?

Sec Gates and Adm Mullin are not the military...The rank and file are...............

Neither have I as I am a conservative and proud of that fact. Grew up a Democrat but that party left me. There is nothing about liberalism that can be classified as a success. everything costs more than intended, does less than intended, never solves a problem, and never goes away. On the issue of DADT, it really doesn't matter what the military or the non military wants, Obama never brought the issue up until earlier this year when it was a major campaign issue. Obama is just a continuation of the liberal failures.

I'll agree with that. The Democratic Party makes it very hard to be a democrat sometimes.

That I can agree with. But on this particular issue, the Dems were being reasonable.

How have you been?

The Congress was for once. I'm mostly just disappointed in Obama.

Busy. Ah the holidays! It's telling though that every time I come back on I have to figure out who the major players are all over again. At least my favorites seems to stick around.;)

What frustrates me is the Dems play as if it's a gentleman's game and the Reps play as if it's a bloodsport. It's like 20 oz. boxing gloves versus a .50 caliber turret. Even when they have the numbers they wind up losing. It's like the Dems are the Chicago Cubs.
