Don't Ask; Don't Tell Repeal Blocked

[Kim]

GODDAMMIT

Lady Gaga was unable to convince the Maine senators: a Republican filibuster means the Senate will not vote on the defense authorization bill that repeals Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Democrats got 56 votes, four short of the needed 60.

Needless to say, I'm pretty pissed off. DADT is complete bullshit that needs to be gotten rid of, but fucking hell I guess our government still has its head up its ass. Fuck the Republicans. Fuck the Democrats who sided with the Republicans. Fuck everyone who tries to defend DADT.

I will be finding out the names of every single Dem who sided with the Repubs, and pretty much make a big old list of "Democrats who you should never fucking vote for ever again."

And you fucking know some of the people who voted to support this did it solely because elections are coming up.
