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.
