Re: Mitch McConnell: Don't' Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Won't Happen This Year, Tax Cuts Will Be Extended (VIDEO)

Tommy,

How can someone disrespect Ted Kennedy when Ted Kennedy never did anything deserving respect? Kennedy was not an honorable man.

So? That is normal procedure. The reason the bill was voted down was DADT repeal inclusion. John McCain led the vote against cloture. He and the Republicans also put our troops at risk by voting against the bill.  And, Dick the Prick, calling Ted Kennedy "Fat Teddy" is both offensive, disrespectful, and anti-American.

     And check the military budget for what is in it and you will see the Dream Act and the DADT repeal and a lot of other things including a statue for Fat Teddy in Mass.  That budget bill was what was voted down and the attachments were why it was voted down.   DADT was never attempted to be repealed by itself.  On 12/07/2010 10:09 AM, Tommy News wrote: 

Greg-  The senate voted this fall AGAINST debating the repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell. John McCain led the oppositon, and I watched the entire debate and vote on C-Span.  It appears that it is YOU who are misinformed.  On 12/7/10, GregfromBoston<greg.vincent@yahoo.com>  wrote: 

Sorry Tom, but Reid piggy backed several items, including Dream Act and DADT in an appropriations bill.  So, you have no idea what was filibustered.  Thats just math.  On Dec 6, 9:21 pm, Tommy News<tommysn...@gmail.com>  wrote: 

No, you are mistaken.  The GOP in the Senate, led by John McCain,  filibustered, voted against Cloture,  and blocked DADT repeal.  The blame lies with GOP Senators John McCain, Boehner, Mitch McConnell, etc. Every single republican voted against cloture.  Every single one.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell has BEEN repealed.  Obama and his DOJ are fighting that in court. Feel silly yet? On Dec 5, 2:06 pm, Tommy News<tommysn...@gmail.com>  wrote: 

This obstrucionist behavior of the Republicans is dispicable. Call, Fax and Write your two US Senators and DEMAND the repeal of DADT during this session of Congress. They now claim that this is not the right time to repeal DADT. Exactly why not? This month is the right time and the only time, or this could take years when the new Grand Obstrucionist Party led Congress is sworn in in January with thier primary agenda being making the President of The United States fail. Mitch McConnell: Don't' Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Won't Happen This Year, Tax Cuts Will Be Extended (VIDEO) WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sent a message to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) repeal advocates on Sunday: Don't hold your breath. He said the policy change is unlikely to happen this year. He stated, however, that the prognosis for passing an extension of unemployment benefits and tax cuts looks brighter. The National Defense Authorization Act, said McConnell on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, typically takes two weeks. "I don't see how we can possibly finish the defense authorization bill, a two-week bill, fully aside from these controversial items that are in it -- there are a whole lot of other things in it -- before the end of the year." When asked by host David Gregory whether he thinks there is enough support to lift the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military, McConnell simply replied, "My personal view is that Sen. McCain is correct on this. I tend to follow his lead. We'll find out when we finally get around to debating this bill, which I think will be before the end of the year." McCain, of course, has been one of the most vocal opponents of repealing DADT, consistently finding new explanations for supporting the ban.
