GOP Blocks Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Republicans have blocked funding for the U.S. military during two wars all because the funding contained language that would have repealed DADT.  Remember the days when not funding our troops during a time of war was treason?


*Update:

Maybe it's better said this way.  With only 40 votes, Republicans blocked debate on repealing don't ask, don't tell.  An extreme minority blocks legislation?  Only when Republicans are the minority.

Extreme minority is possibly an understatement.  According to the latest polling 70% of Americans support civil unions or gay marriage.  Again, 40 senate votes just blocked a very popular and mainstream American ideal.  Better yet, 75% of Americans support the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that three-quarters of the American public support!!
