In reply to the discussion: Hillary needs to stop with her bul**hit about DOMA [View all]LostOne4Ever

The right hated him so much it polarized the whole country. The man could have had Jesus Christ himself come down and endorse him and things wouldn't have changed.
What saved him was Ross Perot. Any additional support he would have lost (and be real it wouldn't have caused an 8% drop) would have been split between Perot and Dole. No way it could ever have added up to a loss.
I don't mind, and actually consider it a plus, when people play politics to further the cause, but that is not what he did. He backstabbed the LGBTQ community for expediency and promoting his own career when it wasn't even necessary.
I will never respect his signing that or forget that it happened.
If you want to claim that he supported something to prevent something worse stick with DADT. That would be the truth. But on DOMA the facts are not in his favor.[/font]
