So, you want my brethren who are gay and lesbian that are serving and protecting the Republic and its citizens from foreign and domestic foes to be dismissed from the military based on their sexual orientation?
So far more than 13,000 soldiers have been kicked out of the military not to mention the countless men and women that have died in defense of America and her allies solely on the basis of their sexual preference.
DADT must be purged from our society once and for all, and it can if elected officials like John McCain and Lindsey Graham get out of the way and stop interfering with progress.
Mr. McCain, you may be a military hero but you're a "political coward" who doesn't represent the people--you represent political interests. Mr. McCain, Mr. Graham, and their ilk are the follies of the Republic's political system and our carbon copies of those politicians that bought about the end of the Roman Empire.
Imagine if the remaining soldiers in all the branches of the military--3 million strong--decided in solidarity to stand-up and say, "I am gay" and "I am a lesbian." What would our military resemble once they were shown the exit?
On November 2, remember the elected officials that embrace DADT and continue to treat gays and lesbians like second class citizens.

“They Couldn’t Give A Damn.”
Americans have every right to disapprove of the job performance that Democrats have done. But if you take a closer look, Democrats have accomplished and implemented policies such as the stimulus package that despite the rhetoric has created millions of jobs, expanded federal healthcare to millions of uninsured citizens, and Wall Street reform.
However, why would Americans want vote for candidates of the Republican/Tea Party when they’ve done "absolutely nothing" to support the middle class, working poor and poor Americans? In fact, the Republican/Tea Party voted to cut off unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of Americans that are in dire need, threatened to cut-off state aid that would lead to hundreds of thousands of additional layoffs of citizens, created a massive deficit where none existed, and in 2008 failed to address the current financial crisis that the Republic is mired in, as well as involving us in two wars that cost the lives of thousands of American troops and a war debt that will take several decades to pay-off.
From 1994 until 2006 Republicans “Contract with America” was considered a failure--by Republicans, and during this time the Republican/Tea Party grew the size of government and also shutdown the federal government.
So Progressives, Democrats, and Independents--we have a decision to make on November 2nd: Either vote for the Democratic Party that despite “No” support from the Republican/Tea Party passed legislation that is aiding Americans in one of the worst recessions post WWII or vote for the Republican/Tea Party that couldn’t give a DAMN about the middle class, working poor, and poor American.
