Is anyone else watching the DADT hearings on C-Span 3? [View All]

The Repubs. like McCain, Sessions, and others are flailing around, "respectfully disagreeing" with Gates, Mullen, and others. They're suggesting that the only reason Gates, Mullen, and others are there was because of a "campaign promise by then-Senator Obama." Their bigotry and homophobia is so obvious, their resistance to change and progress so clear, that I ALMOST feel sorry for them (I really don't at all).

They know times are changing, that DADT WILL be repealed, and that GLBT people WILL be able to serve without having to hide/lie about who they are. And they can't stand it. I LOVE watching their desperate attempts to keep the repeal in place. It won't work.

It was also VERY nice and surprising to see Lieberman, Bayh, and Ben Nelson strongly DEFENDING the repeal, especially right in front of John McCain.
