It is time for all of us to deal in reality. The fact is that even with all of his flaws, Scott Brown is still far superior to the RAT.

Making excuses? I don't like it any better than you but I still think we're better off with Brown than with the RAT. Would you feel better if I preferred the RAT?

Good point, I’ll recant my statement.

The fact is, it’s not gays I have a problem with, it’s the “GAY AGENDA” that bothers me.

10 years of that and the military will be nothing more than a social program and about as effective as a UN peacekeeping operation.

The only bright side is that the sons and daughters of many liberals that supported the repeal will end up being drafted and we might see a revival of militias that will be ready to fight in the upcoming civil war.

These men are very creative and have ways of dealing with deviant behavior. You can take that to the bank.

not if the JAG decides that a blanket party is punishable with Leavenworth. you can take that to the bank.

you will see that excessive PT might be a "hate crime". Cleaning the latrines with toothbrushes might be a "hate crime".

Then you get to the real dirty pool... "my boyfriend is the platoon leader and he says I don't have to pull point on this patrol" or "he just broke up with me and he's making me #1 on entry team clearing rooms, I don't want to cause I've got feelings and I'm NOT A MACHINE."

This law is going to get a few gay soldiers killed in combat.

The UCMJ is very clear about fraternization. And just because a sodomite can serve does not mean that they can engage in behaviors. Administrative discharges will be issued like crazy. Meanwhile, platoon leaders can put together gay squads, send them out on patrols in especially hot areas where it could be hard to provide backup. Oh well, Marines sometimes have to die. /s

No, Romney wouldn't pick Brown as his running mate, because both are Massachusetts residents, so if the ticket carried their home state the Massachusetts electors would not be able to vote for both of them in the electoral college. (That's why Cheney had to re-establish his Wyoming residency in 2000 to run with Bush--otherwise the Texas electors couldn't have voted for both Bush and Cheney.)

Of course it's a moot point--Massachusetts is unlikely to vote Republican no matter who is on the ticket, and Romney isn't going to be the Republican nominee.

Even if a platoon leader wanted to do something. He couldn’t. It will be up to the NCOs, as usual, to implement policy among the ranks.

As your son probably has told you, Marines take care if their own. Add this gay agenda and picking sides to a fire team or squad level will insure the disruption of good unit cohesion, good order and discipline.

Just a real cluster.

From what I've heard, the RINO twins of Maine will be voting as a block. (RINO twin powers activate!)

If you don’t see that this will cost us money, time and human suffering, as well as military readiness, you are woefully naive. You and all the rest of you liberaltarians need a reality check.

The only way to rid ourselves of RINOs is to excise them, not feed them, coddle them and make them feel at home. Look at Princess Lisa Moocowski. She’ll be stabbing us in the back for six more years, so will McCain. I’m sure the only reason Pansy Graham hasn’t come out supporting this is that so many other RINOs are doing the dirty work, he can pretend he does not support it. These people need to lose seniority. They’ve already showed that they will cave when it counts. Why keep pretending they are on our side?

Didn’t his office tell Howie Carr that he would not support the repeal?

Romney’s residence is now in California, I believe.
