Conservative Candidates All Support Banning Gays From The Military
At CNN’s Democratic presidential debate on Sunday, host Wolf Blitzer asked the candidates, by show of hands, to say whether they would get rid of the ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ ban on gays in the U.S. military. All eight candidates raised their hands. Over loud audience applause, former senator Mike Gravel shouted, “It should have been gotten rid of 20 years ago.”

In contrast, when Blitzer tonight asked, “Is there anyone here who believes gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the U.S. military? If you do, speak up now,” there was a deafening silence. No one raised their hands.
