1. getting harder everyday to 'hang in there'

[Laf.La.Dem.]

2. Sad to say - BUT

I think it only had a 1% of passing :banghead:

3. Gates knows the count in the Senate already?

[pinto]

4. Good point.

:hi:

(aside) And Lierberman is pushing to keep the Senate in session until repeal is enacted, fwiw.

6. Yes, I saw that. If Reid can do this, I might forgive Joe for some of

his transgressions. But then my suspicious nature thinks, "It's a TRAP!" :tinfoilhat: :hi:

5. Time to withdraw the Notice of Appeal in the court case.

7. I wonder if this is also where executive order can come into play--

granted, it's not the best/most permanent way to end DADT, but it might be the only option.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Of course it isn't.

Heavens, can you imagine, if our government actually did the right thing, for once?

[Lucky 13]

9. Breaking? I knew that six months ago.

It would only get passed if it was actually a priority on the right people's agenda. And it's not. Never was I don't think. Just a way to ensure gays went to the polls and hung on for the ride. It's not the first time we've been had... and it won't be the last.

But hey... if it gets passed, I'll be the first one to take it all back, admit I was wrong, and thank those that got it done...
