republicans, the party that is totally not full of bigots, managed to filibuster the defense authorization bill that would have also ended the don't ask don't tell policy. john mccain was behind the filibuster, so oc i now think we should initiate a new rule that in order to filibuster, a senator must be able to raise both arms above his head.
it should also be noted that blanche lincoln and mark pryor, two democrats from arkansas also voted against the bill. so fuck the both of you.
harry reid voted against the bill as well, purely as a parliamentary maneuver, which will allow him to revive the bill at a later date.
i'm mostly confused by this, because DADT will eventually be repealed or struck down by the courts. it's essentially inevitable as old gaycists die, and popular opinion moves in the direction of acceptance. i guess mccain was just all to eager to make sure he continues to ruin his once admirable reputation. thanks for unnecessarily continuing DADT, and thanks for unleashing sarah palin on us. you've really made the world a better place.
