DADT will be repealed soon - yes or no? |
|
The first question the tinkers will ask me is probably "define soon"
I will answer that: within 3 months.
Next question: if you answer the first question with "no", then when?

1. Even if you defined soon as 2013, I'd still say no...n/t |

3. It won't be repealed in 3 months |
|
At best about 5, maybe 6. If the senate doesn't get off it's butt, it could be never.

I thought it would be right away after Obama took office. He could make an executive order and then our congress would jump right to it and make right this offensive inequality. I have no idea when it will change and I am no longer counting on it. Their "study" will probably take years or at least until after we lose control in Washington.

8. No. The proposal already has an escape clause. |

Contingent language is added to promises to be used.
Frankly, this whole promise now, but deliver after the election seems like a cynical attempt to get the gayTM open and to get liberals to the polls.

When will it happen? I don't know. I'll believe it when I see it, I guess.

11. Two things that should be done this week! |
|
And could be done by presidential order are 1) Close Guantanamo and 2) End DADT. Will it be done this week. No! But what a boost it would be for our country and our confidence in our President if he just did those two things.
