Would you trade away the repeal of the Bush Tax Cuts for the repeal of DADT?

[MilesColtrane]

I've heard a rumor that Obama is offering a quid pro quo to the Republicans on taxes in exchange for their vote to do away with DADT.

(I'd take that deal, BTW.)

[BrklynLiberal]

1. ANOTHER "compromise" in which the repukes get whatever they want?????

DAMMIT!! STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!

[MilesColtrane]

2. Republicans want DADT eliminated?

[BrklynLiberal]

3. No..they are holding it hostage to get the tax cuts for the uber wealthy..whihch is ALL they really

care about.

Why does it have to be one or the other? Why not both??? DADT gone, AND tax cuts for the middle class ONLY.

[MilesColtrane]

4. "Why does it have to be one or the other?"

Because there are too many people in Congress with R after their names?

[Individualist]

5. He should demand both, but of course he won't do that.

6. how many ways can dems grovel and capitulate to republicans in ONE month? nt

[MadHound]

7. And here we go,

I'm sick of the Obama administration caving on popular issues that the people want. No negotiations, no deals, stand the fuck up and fight.

[WinkyDink]

8. Obama should tell them to KHBA.

[MineralMan]

9. Other: I want both the repeal of DADT and the end of tax cuts

for the rich. I wouldn't make the trade.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. No, DADT repeal is inevitable. Trading something for it makes no sense to me

[rgbecker]

12. You are right. The courts will take care of this but they can't do a thing about

tax breaks for the rich or the national debt.

[NuclearDem]

11. No, I refuse to make any more deals

We've been screwed enough these past two years. No more deals.

[Swamp Rat]

13. 'No civil rights for gays or the destruction of America' is not a choice I will ever make.

I'd rather die fighting for both.
