		<description>Ok so you all want to have your opinions? Some of you agree with the whole gays serve openly in the military and some of you dont agree!! well lets put it this way to the people that say its ok for gays to serve openly I PERSONALLY THANK YOU!!

As for you selfish homophobe people i think you all need to think real freaking hard!! I am LESBIAN and in the MILITARY...i put my pants on the same way you all do every morning and i do every day to day thing that you all do! Ok big freaking deal i am gay and in the army but you all need to think. If i am willing to fight for OUR freedom and stand proud and be in war and chance myself to die for all you selfish cruel homophobes then i think you can deal with the fact that i am gay and i serve to fight for our country. Wait or is it that i only fight for my family? no i fight for everyone and anyone that is on this earth, i dont care if your gay, straight, bi, in to beastiality i dont give a crap if you are willing to fight for the country you should be allowed to serve in the military with no problem! when i shower i go in and shower and do what i got to do i dont stare at any other female and i dont hit on any of them! 

SO EITHER DEAL WITH IT IF HE PASSES THE LAW OR GO DIE IN A HOLD BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS BORN THE SAME WAY AND DRESSED THE SAME WAY!! Im gay and i love everyone unless you screw me over!!</description>

		<description>People!! People, people, people....It&#039;s like we all forgot, all of a sudden, what politics is all about.  nobody has ever been 100% honest when it comes to politics or being elected.  I think Robin Williams said it best,&quot; Politics: â€œPoliâ€ a Latin word meaning â€œmanyâ€; and &quot;tics&quot; meaning â€œbloodsucking creaturesâ€.â€  But let&#039;s focus on the issue at hand.  To allow gays into the military would be like putting Reginald Denny, a caucasian truck driver beaten on live television during the LA Riots, back into that same situation on purpose.  It would break down morale, and cause a large amount of hate and discontent.  There will be a huge social breakdown amongst military service members and many problems will arise within the well structured chains of command within the US military.  Equality for all? Yes, but everything has it&#039;s limits and you cannot always impose the laws of nature onto that of a bureaucracy.  That is a recipe for disaster.</description>

		<description>&quot;Ha. Itâ€™s so funny to call people gay.&quot;

No, it&#039;s funny to call fat, lazy people &quot;fat &amp; lazy&quot;!

&quot;I do think it means that we cannot count on him to keep any promise in particular, unless it is politically expedient for him.&quot;  Damn, that&#039;s some hard-hitting analysis, Pearatty.  You must have had a publik edjumakation.

I &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; you were a &lt;em&gt;journalist&lt;/em&gt; before November 4th, perhaps that point could have been raised!

Oh snap!</description>

		<description>I agree with Gib.  Obama&#039;s failure to keep his promise about campaign financing undoubtedly won him the election, and also undoubtedly killed campaign finance reform.  Who knew that when he was talking about &quot;change&quot; he meant all the change in those individual donor&#039;s pockets?

I do think it means that we cannot count on him to keep any promise in particular, unless it is politically expedient for him.  It will be the job of his base to make sure keeping his promises is politically expedient for him.</description>

Oh darn!  There&#039;s that scrabble tournament next week and a poker tourney the week after, followed by pizza.  Sorry America!</description>

		<description>Obama can&#039;t just do this unilaterally.  Clinton would have done that if he could.  The UCMJ is based on law, so Obama is gonna have to get Congress to pass his &quot;overhaul&quot;.  And I wouldn&#039;t assume a Democratic Congress will necessarily do that.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sure he will treat this promise as seriously as he took his pledge to use public financing during his campaign, and completely keep it unless breaking it would benefit him in some way.</description>

		<description>And Dawn, Obama scoffed about Iran being a threat one day and literally the next called it a grave, grave threat.  This is a man who can backpedal like nobody&#039;s business and has a friendly press to let him do it.  He might make it ok for gays to serve, then again he might not.</description>
