Bush II wouldn’t have changed it either had Congress pushed it.

A President Romney would be a Bush III and any Bush is a watered-down Obama.

Despite strong opposition from congressional Republicans, the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010” passed in the then-Democrat controlled House (and Senate) and was signed into law by President Obama on Dec. 22, 2010.

That disgraceful vote was taken one year ago today. If there really would have been "strong opposition from congressional Republicans", those in the Senate could have filibustered it. Even if that had failed (which I doubt it would have because congress was anxious to get home for vacation), then the solid GOP majority in the house taking office just a couple of weeks later could have immediately voted to cut off funds for its implementation.

You are 100% correct. Romney's statement here reflects nothing more and nothing less than the view of the GOP establishment. He is the legitimate successor to Bush I, Bush II and McCain. If we want an alternative, we have to support an alternative, not a different flavor of the same.

If anyone here honestly believes that Gingrich will reverse this new pro-queer military policy, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
