how is it the republicans can go against the wishes of voters time and time again and pay no price for it?

Poll: Two in Three Want "Don't Ask" Repeal

Sixty-nine percent of Americans believe gay men and women should be allowed to serve openly in the military, a new CBS News poll finds - an increase of seven points since October.

Just 23 percent oppose allowing gay men and women to serve openly.

The poll comes as the Senate holds hearings on a Pentagon report that found little long-term risk to responsibly repealing the 1993 "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that mandates that gays can only serve if they hide their sexuality.

That kind of action is expected in a post.

Then again, some support theft also. :shrug:

They get to make their own choice, I don't think asking people to lie is the best choice. Maybe their boss does.
