New Hampshire Debate: GOP Candidates' Support of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Puts National Security at Risk

Standing in Stark Contrast to Sunday Night's Democratic Debate, No Republican Candidate Supports Repeal of Dishonorable Policy

WASHINGTON - When asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer to raise their hand if they support the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", not a single Republican candidate's hand went up in the air. The position of every single Republican candidate on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" not only stands in stark contrast to the unified support of repeal by all Democratic Presidential candidates but it is also out of step with the majority of the American people.

"America's national security was sacrificed tonight in the name of divisive political maneuvering," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "Every single Republican candidate for President just looked the American people in the eye and voiced their support for a policy that is more concerned about the sexual orientation of an Arabic linguist than it is our military's ability to decode the next piece of intelligence from terrorist groups."

1. Their hate is more important than our safety

that's nice to know

2. And that my friends should be the Slogan of the Democratic Party

"The Republican party puts their church and God before National Security of the US and the Constitution"!

They kick valuable and highly needed resources out because of their religious beliefs.

For you Gay Republican Lurkers out there...think about this...they don't want you serving in the Military, yhey don't want you to get married, they don't want you to have domestic benefits, they would allow your employer to fire you if you are gay...they would allow landlords, homesellers to deny you a home.....

Sound familiar?....Let me help you...this is how it started with the Jews and the Gays in Nazi Germany....You think you are one of them because you give your money to them...but when you have nothing else to give.....they will destroy you one way or another!!

Just sayin...

3. It's alright to be Gay or Lesbian in the Military as long as

it is not revealed. This "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was a stupid compromise to begin with. Why can the Miltary be allowed to practice Discrination? The Rethug candidates are pandering to that so called Christian RW base.

4. Agreed...This was Clinton biggest blunder...

5. There are apparently more important

things at stake right now than seeing that our solders are not discriminated against. :sarcasm:
