I Don't Get The Dire Fears Of The Dead Enders Opposing The Repeal Of DADT

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Of my gay friends I have two that are active Army and one that is retired USAF. They are no different than my other friends, straight and gay...There is still such a thing as convention and they aren't going to act any different after the ban as they did before the ban. They will be who they always were and will be.

1. It's all show for their whacko-fundie base

or an extreme case of self-hating homosexual rethugs in denial. ;)

2. ditto ixion

They still have to go home and get re-elected. THEIR consituents want the brouhaha from them and they HAVE to do it to get re-elected. Watch the Dementeds in the house. They'll be running on a repeal of the repeal in 12.

3. Polls Show Overwhelming Public Support

And like with most but not all legislation it becomes more popular if it passes.

I don't think there is any region in the nation that wants to repeal the repeal of DADT.

4. It's the right's admission that their support for our troops is limited

to support for the troops who are just like them.
