Re: Bad news: Senate GOP Blocks DADT Repeal Amendment in 56-43 cloture vote

All thirty nine Republicans voted no, lead by John McCain. They are all to blame.

The Grand Obsrtructionist Party of No has spoken. Now it is our turn to speak and Vote them all out of office. Take to the streets and protest!

That is still not enough to doom the bill.  The ones who finished the dooming had to have been Dems.  And at that Harry Reid has to share the blame.    Did you think that the Republicans for the most part were voting no because they felt that the Pentagon needed to finish their study of how to implement the repeal of DADT?   The blame is therefore on Reid for trying to shove this bill through without any idea of how to implement the repeal.   How do you set up the troops so that the gays do not get the krep kicked out of them.  Do you allow mixed sex barracks now?  Do you separate gays and non-gays?  How do you punish those who break the new rules.  What would the punishment be and where would it occur.   Do you just think Tinker Bell can pluck her magic twanger and make it all happen with no problems?   Will you take responsibility for any problems that occur?  No, all you want to do is blame anyone who does not march in lockstep with Tommy News and his policies and call them names.   Pathetic!

    Let's see - the Harry Reid policy of not allowing more than one amendment on the bill chased the one Republican they had, Susan Collins, away.  That still left some Dems voting against the bill.  Who were they.   Why not mention them since they are the ones who doomed the bill.  The Dems had the 60 they needed if they got all their members to vote for them.  Don't blame the Republicans for this one.

(4 votes short of the 60 votes needed for cloture and repeal)
 
This likely means  the policy will stay in place, and that it could take many more years to repeal the failed Don't Ask Don't Tell policy, which has ruined thousands of lives and careers and could now ruin thousands more after this disappointing vote. Shame on the Senate.
 
Senator John McCain gave a thumbs up on the Senate floor after the vote.
