Oh they showed their spine today. They outed themselves and they didn’t have to. Burr’s vote and Ensign’s were not needed, ditto for Kirk, but I’m now sure the rumors about him are true.

Ensign and Burr are sympathetic to the homosexual agenda, in spite of knowing, acknowledging (and agreeing with) the Army and Marine generals against it.

(Burr said) “Even though this bill has now passed, it should never be enacted immediately,” he said, expressing concern over how and when the bill would go into effect.

Proves Burr is as big a dumbass as Obama. He voted to allow a the bill to get to a vote but said it shouldn't be enacted immediately.

And how the hell are you going to stop it from being enacted immediately senator? Are you that much of a freaking idiot?

In 2012 Mrs B and I will vote to shame him and bring a fresh face into his chair.

I anticipate you will do precisely that! :)

You're good people. Blessed and Merry Christmas, my FRiend!

So, I guess that she will approve of “transgendered” people serving...or paedophiles...

Why not? Transgendered queers. Of course!

That does it for me. I've had it with this crapola.

I have no intention of voting for either a corrupt Democrat or a corrupt Republican anymore. All of my time, money and efforts will go to Tea Party candidates or they'll stay in my pocket.

50% of elected Republicans vote against Americans' interests and for every pervert, scoundrel and foreigner that they can find. To me, this was a national security issue and the so called defenders of America, the Republicans fell on their frickin faces.

“It was something people knew was going to happen,” Corker said, pointing out that apart from Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), few other Republicans put up much of a fight to stop repeal. “You didn’t really see anybody in there talking about it much, right? It wasn’t impassioned at all.”

This says it all for me. The Republicans are not much better than the Dems. I think a lot of conservatives are going to be really disappointed with the house as well. It does us no good at all to get the majorities if 1/4 to 1/3 of them are squishy moderates who have no principles at all.

We don't vote for them to vote their personal feelings. We vote for them to represent US. We're supposed to live in a representative democracy. It's supposed to be OUR vote, not theirs.

We don't have a Congress, we have a nobility and we're nothing but serfs under their heel.

Well not me any more. Screw the republican party. I'm outta here.

Were blackmail involved, how do you explain Lindsey Graham’s NO vote? Several think he casts votes under blackmail pressure, and I do not. I just think he’s an arrogant RINO, who almost always gets it right on military issues, but he’s taking up a valuable US Senate seat in a Red Southern state.

I think Ensign and Burr just voted their *feelings*.

Shoot, I meant to ping you to my last reply to others. I don’t think blackmail is involved, but what do I know? I just think those two traitor idiots voted their *feelings* and Burr’s statements make NO sense at all. Both could be closet homosexuals, but for certain, they’re both sympathetic to the homosexual agenda and against our military.

Well stated! I agree with your every word! Burr is a *thoughtful* stupid, goofy-dumb, insulting idiot. The homosexual horse has left the proverbial barn, Senator Burr.

I feel there are some that believe we would lose this battle in the courts anyway, so are just going along with it now despite the fact that the military and majority of their constituents don’t want it.

Blackmail is probably part of it.

If you remember the confirmed revelations about Gary Condit’s 20 congressional member (4% of Congress in that club alone) kinky bi sexual group sex club when Chandra Levy disappeared there are probably quite a few members of Congress with skeletons in a closet they want to keep the door to shut.

Gays are real good at digging dirt about this kind of stuff and know how to use it.

Sen Craig Livingston came forward and resigned rather than roll over to blackmail over a 20 year old affair with a woman during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Newt Gingrich resigned as well so this would not be the first time.

Extortion is also another potential motive. This bill requires not that the military allow homosexual behavior, it requires that military consider eliminating DADT as soon as they deem it feasible.

This gives some Republicans the ability to raise contributions to continually fight the implementation of DADT. It also will give both sides of the aisle a chance to keep their bases stirred up for 2012.

The Democrats have passed it, and the House Republicans will block it's implementation by denying funding and will try to repeal it ensuring a good fight over DADT to keep the money flowing to both sides

Then let the court decide. What’s the fear? Let the 2013 SCOTUS decide, provided our next president is a Consitutional conservative and Justice Kennedy retires, and that no deaths or more appointments in the interrim fall to the Marxist.

Also, *if* implementation takes a while (or not) it’s going to be a disaster, so is there anything to stop a new conservative president and congress from undoing this horrific repeal?

You may be right on that about Burr and Ensign. Every conservative knows we have a lot of Rinos in the senate, maybe we just have a whole hell of lot more than we figured.
Going to be a rough 2 years if that's the case, probably going to need a scorecard to see who's shafting us on a day by day basis.

I doubt the House can block it, but I hope I'm wrong
