And now we'll see the Liberal Rope-A-Dope Strategy!

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

Dixie, Dixie, Dixie. The people voted for those who are in the current lame duck Congress and their job isn't done until they leave Congress. Knowing they won't face political fallout they did the right thing and voted for the bill.

Just like HCR was passed. It was the right thing to do.

If there is any lesson to be learned here it's the Democrats do the right thing, regardless.

Okay, good to know you feel this way.... so when Republicans take over Congress in 2012, and Democrats do everything they can to defeat the Republicans in 2016... before we leave office, after the elections where Democrats sweep Congress and retake the majority, we can pass any goddamn right-wing measure we wish in the lame duck session, because we have the power to do so?

This was a completely Fascist assault on American democracy. These people were REJECTED... FIRED by the PEOPLE! Yet, they had the nerve to vote on legislation, against the will of the people who just fired them! And your Socialist Dictatorial Fascist ass is all okay with that! It's just fine and dandy with you, because it happened to be pinhead left-wing liberal legislation. Had this been used by Republicans to do something similar, you would be outraged by it.

Not what I said, pinhead, you should stick to reading the posts as presented, and stop trying to 'interpret' them. I don't tend to talk in codes and mince my words when speaking to retarded people, so as to make it easier for you... don't make it complicated!

Obama sure as hell isn't responsible, he stayed completely away from this, and let the lame duck congress deal with it. He could have signed an executive order, like Clinton did, but he lacked the political balls to do that.



No, and he's not a Congressman anymore either! He was one of the pinheads the people rejected on November 2nd, what the hell was his legislation even being voted on for? This makes it even MORE absurd that it was even considered! The American people REJECTED Patrick Murphy, and yet... here we have his bill being rammed through by an illegitimate lame duck congress!



And that's exactly what I said, you fucking moron! You want to hold a ticker-tape parade for someone, don't do it for Obama, do it for the outgoing liberal pinheads who totally shit on American democracy and the will of the people, and the Olympia Snowe Wing of the GOP! THEY repealed DADT, NOT Obama!



Then why didn't he do as Clinton did, and rescind the order made by Clinton? This was certainly in his power as Commander in Chief, and there is no reason he couldn't have done this with the stroke of a pen, on inauguration day! Even after "consulting with the joint chiefs" he still declined to issue an executive order, he allowed an illegitimate lame duck congress to repeal DADT.



What it illustrates is the arrogance of liberals, to presume it is somehow alright and okay to basically go against the will of the people because you no longer have an obligation to the people. To abandon your constituents for the sake of personal ideology.



I don't recall crediting Bush for what Congress did. I think most of us are mature enough to understand how this all works, but if you have a problem with it, the way our government works is pretty well established. The House initiates bills for the consideration of the Senate, and approved bills go to the president for signature. The president doesn't introduce legislation, that's what Obama could have done as a Senator, by the way.

You keep talking about the "will of the people". WTF does that have to do with this??? Was it voted on by the people? Or do you want us to govern by poll?

Besides, we do not run things according to the will of the people. We started this nation by going against the will of the people. Between the beginning of the revolution and the signing of the US Constitution, the majority of the people were not in favor of us becoming an independent nation. In the desegregation of the south, it was not the will of the people that prevailed but the force of the US Constitution and doing what is right.

If you have a problem with that, perhaps you should take your bigoted ass someplace where they think like you. Perhaps Saudi Arabia or Iran would suit you.

I'm encouraged by your post Dixie. At least you're aware you're a dope.

No, these people were elected for a term that had not yet expired.
