Shocking...Just shocking that Republicans would be against Gays.

Not all Republicans. It is silly, i agree. Anyone willing to volunteer in the army can do whatever they want in the bedroom.

56 Senators isn't enough to pass it? How can you handcuff anyone this badly, and then blame him for everything that is wrong? ...BTW, which Republican Senators are you talking about?

That issue is a tragic waste of time and taxpayer dollars that could be used in other places. Who gives a sh<it if someone is gay or not and they want to serve.

Well spoken and I agree with you. There are more pressing matters that need to be taken care of. The top two priorities should be the economy and unemployment.

I had no problems serving with people who liked both sexes. I never had anyone flaunt that the liked both sexes either.

I'm amazed that Lady Gaga didn't have more of an influence in this decision - I thought for sure she was the ace in the hole to get this passed

They say it will affect morale in Afghanistan? Shyt, they can't beat my dead grandma. They act like they can beat someone. They can't get worse at accomplishing a goal. Muslims own their weak ass all the time. They're so productive with this policy in place? Give me a break. Win something, and then claim you've got some morale that is at risk. You ain't got the head of the guy you went to get. Can't do much right as it is. Wrong targets hit all the time. What morale?

The Dream Act and typical Washington politics had nothing to do with this. It's all about Republicans being bigots!

Vote democrat! Listen to Riot! She doesn't have an agenda!

They will always find some excuse to vote against it. What was the excuse in the house? If they brought this bill up, clean as a whistle, they'd get a couple Republican Senators to vote for it. 60 is the new 50.

SCUDS I don't really give a f.uck about the games either side is playing. One of the reasons why we're in this mess is because those clowns up there only care about NUMERO UNO. And because it's in their best interests to stick with their pack then they will vote that way. The Republicans and Democrats are basically two fraternities that don't like each other. And this "bill" is just a GFY and desperate attempt to get enough of the dumb-downed masses to vote for their side.

I hope they all get voted out. I don't care if the religious nutters take over.
