We are not sure if that explanation is really true, as it sounds a little fishy, as I can't see too many people in the military clamoring to get sex change operations paid for by the Pentagon, so I wanted to share some contact information, in case anyone else also wants to contact his office about his vote, as well as some links about that story.

Smells fisher than a sardine in a steam bath.

He straight up wimped and should be ashamed of himself.

And yet, you posted this vanity in “NEWS”

they intend to address that issue in the future, in a broader approach to that issue and related issues, and they just don't want that to be a distraction at the present time for other things they are currently working on.

What a load of crap! This is the standard Rino excuse - "We'll do it in the future." Always in the future. It's time for this Rino to represent the people, not other politicians.

"...I can't see too many people in the military clamoring to get sex change operations paid for by the Pentagon,

I can see many who want to enlist just to have the govt pick up the dime. They should fail any sort of psychological testing but they get through.

Follow the homosexual lobbyist political donations, identify the closeted homosexuals among those so called Republicans and it becomes understandable. Did historians need any more documentation that America has descended into a neo pagan, hedonistic era when the majority of its elected representatives vote to accommodate sexual deviants even within their own military? Disgusting and sad.

I have known a lot of homosexual men and women and the majority of them were perfectly normal and surprisingly conservative. But I have never meet a transgender who was not BSC (Bat $hit crazy).

Mad Dog has been looking a lot like a weak sister to me lately and so has Tillerson. The Joint Chiefs has been flooded with Social Justice Warriors, not War Fighters.

Congress shouldn't necessarily be on the hook for this one. The decision for the U.S. military to pay for these lunatic surgeries came down in a executive branch directive from the Obama administration. Congress had nothing to do with it.

The Trump administration can change this now without any input from Congress. I believe the military may have already put a temporary moratorium on them, but there's no reason why they can't simply put an end to it now.

May come up for a vote again:

“...Supporters now think they could possibly see a different outcome if the amendment comes up again. They may be right: Six Republicans did not vote or were absent, including: Reps. Sam Johnson of Texas, Raúl Labrador of Idaho, Mark Sanford of South Carolina, David Valadao of California, Rodney Davis of Illinois and Steve Scalise of Louisiana who is still in the hospital recovering from a gun shot wound.

It’s possible some of those members would vote yes if it comes up a second time. In addition, Republican freshman Brian Mast of Florida, who voted against the provision, has since said he meant to vote for it.”
