Kerry Eleveld reports that there's a plan and a timetable for repealing "don't ask, don't tell":
Repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” will likely be included as part of next year’s Department of Defense authorization bill in both chambers of Congress, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Wednesday.
“Military issues are always done as part of the overall authorization bill,” Frank said, insisting that this has been the strategy for overturning the policy all along. “'Don’t ask, don’t tell' was always going to be part of the military authorization.”

Give them their own division, with everything and I mean everything done in bright pink. They should be the first sent in toward the enemy, that way when the enemy is laughing, we can come in from behind.
canadian
you want to come in from behind? LOL

Oh Bawnie, how I marvel at your ultra-intelligence, your erudite Harvard education, thank goodness you are leading the way in Washington because we are not nearly smart enough to function without you. Why, we are but pieces of furniture in your midst. Go forth, brave Bawnie and change America from the stale, crusty old existance created by our hateful founding fathers to your progressive wonderland.

This is how they got the Gay Hate Crimes bill passed also! That way, if the republicans vote against it, they are voting against our military! Shamefule!

And this is the guy Massachsetts elects year in and year out. The liar expects us to believe he doesn't know what pot is and he didn't know his boyfriend was runninga a prostitution ring out of his home. give us a break and please Massachusetts wake up and elect an honest politcian, please.

I would like to know what some current military members think about it.
JKC9
When I was in basic training in the USAF our training instructor told us to always take a towel to the shower with us because some guys can't keep their hands off another guy's pe--er. The 2% of the homosexuals in the U.S. want to do the same thing in the military that they tried to do in the Boy Scouts, have a recruiting ground. The military has bettet things to do than this, LIKE PROTECTING AMERICA!!
ssgman75
this post is a joke.... right ?
Tel...
you're pretending that open homosexuals are accepted and welcomed into the armed forces in reality? You can legislate it any way you want to...they'll never be accepted into the armed forces in the real sense.
freedom or death
Barney is a gay atheist. He has no interest in the future of America because he will have no legacy. 98% of Americans believe in God and are not gay. Which group SHOULD decide the future of this GREAT COUNTRY!
some Internet guy
A full 98%? Wow! Can you cite your source for that particular statistic?

Old Barn was so jealous of Monica, But if they pass health care with weed as a medicine, old Barn can light up and forget all about Monica's lucky day.

I am for repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell as long as we go back to the status prior to Don't Ask, Don't Tell; in other words put the question back on the application and make homosexuality a disqualifier for military service.
some Internet guy
@Tel...
So what will happen if you get homosexual blood on you by accident? Will you catch "the gay"? Get HIV? What?
My military friends get screened for STDs on a regular basis, and I assure you that you can't actually become a homosexual by getting their blood on you.
Having HIV should certainly disqualify him from service. Not being gay.
ssgman75
Why should being gay be a dis-qualifier. Just because you aren't comfortable with it. It's going to happen DADT will be repealed and your world ,I'm sure, will become undone.
Tel...
ask how many servicemen want to be in close proximity day in, day out with a known homosexual. Showering together, sleeping near each other. Good luck. Then if the homosexual is wounded, how many are willing to risk getting his blood on them?
Dale Jeu
Don't ask, don't tell WILL COME UP IN 2010.
1) Don't ask us to vote for YOU.
2) Don't tell us any more of your LIES.

Let's be honest. The military like the clergy is full of homosexuals. It time the neocons abandoned their dime store morals and lived in the real world like everyone else and except the situations for what it is.
NUTS ON YOUR CHIN
I will never accept homos as normal. It is abnormal behavior plain and simple. Stop telling people to shut up and conform because we will never accept homos as normal.
Drama-mama
This will not happen. Our military may have gays, but if they come out, I can tell you that they can come up missing. Be careful sir, you do not know what you are talking about.
BJC
To our friends in Massachusetts isn't it time to vote this blowhard out of office? He is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the state. He should have been voted out of office years ago. Please let's all get together and show this loser the door at the next election his name shows up o na ballot.
Drama-mama
I agree, why would they want this sickening joke of a "man" to represent them?
ssgman75
He represents his constituents for his state. it is called getting elected.
dss
ssgman, gays are always saying the only dif betwen them & straights is their orientation & behavior. Well, guess what? You don't get to discuss & flaunt that in the military anyway. It's basically don't ask don't tell for EVERYONE already. No professional military member wants to know or to tell what they're doing with whom. When in uniform, I couldn't even hold my spouse's hand in public. So why do gays want this policy repealed when they're not going to be able to do what they want to do anyway? Militant non-military gay activists just want this as part of theiroverall political agenda. Most gay servicemembers could care less about it.

Pissoff Barney you phat phucking phaggot. Now try me for a hate crime you homoturd. I dare you.

God won't have to ask, He already knows about Barney and His Kind.

Barney out in front blocking for his 'buddy'. The mere mention that Obama is 'thinking about this' might bring a few phags back for a while. Good 'ole Stinkfinger Barney. My good friend, Darrin Stevens is such a nice man. I think he may have believed by coining the name 'Darrin Stevens', he'd be automatically conjoined with a bottle that housed a hot blonde white chick. Silly Darrin. That was just a TV show. It wasn't real. Thanks, Hollywood. Good luck, Darrin with that child molester you work with. Keep your back to the wall.

Everyone can determine for themselves who is GAY and who is STRAIGHT. That's no big mystery. The sin is, why should GAYS get special privileges that STRAIGHT people don't get? Everyone should get the same RIGHTS!!!

THAT'S REALLY GOING TO CAUSE A MESS! I CAN HEAR IT NOW..............ALL THE GAYS WHINNING ABOUT HARRASSMENT.
