Eight Republicans Vote to Repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

[struggle4progress]

... Burr was a surprise. He had previously said he was opposed to repeal and voted no in a procedural vote hours earlier ... http://www.aolnews.com/2010/12/18/eight-republicans-vote-to-repeal-dont-ask-dont-tell/

2. dunno but i'm always happy to blow smoke whether or not i know

:D

i'd guess he originally thought the situation was: 70% oppose dadt but really don't care too much and 30% really really want dadt

and i'd guess he somehow got a clear signal: 70% really really oppose dadt

hope you and the guys are doin ok :)

3. Think he is going to be outed

or was threatened outing?

I mean, I can't accept that he just woke up and decided to do the people's work

amazing turnaround
