Oh hi! Did you hear the Pentagon is releasing a 300-ish-page report today about its study today of homosexuals? I know! News to me too. The results, tallied from the responses of 115,000 troops and 44,200 military spouses and families, allowed research heads Pentagon General Counsel Jeh Johnson and Army Gen. Carter Ham to conclude that most of the American military doesn’t give two shits about MSM and WSW protecting this nation. But that’s not going to stop John McCain from wetting himself when Robert Gates and Mike Mullen testify before the Senate this afternoon. I love a good spectacle.

We only have 56 LGBT-supportive votes in the US Senate. These hearings are a charade.
Gay Inc. will be telling us (soon) that “they were so close” and “please send money.” This time, wait until they have a strategy to get 60 votes in the US Senate.
As a community we waste hundreds of millions on non-profit equality-pimps each year and they are more interested in their jobs, than our equality. They have no incentive to win, just to continue the charade. Make them produce a strategy to WIN, if they want more money.

AndrewW,
The one salvation we have is that SUPPOSEDLY some folks like Susan Collins and others said that if they are allowed to debate some of the other spending parts of the bill, that they would then vote to break any attempted fillibuster.
If they keep their word then it will pass. then we can all be subjected to the expected fund raising plea from HRC telling us that even though DADT is now repealed, that things are worse than they’ve ever been and every gay person in the country should send them $10,000.

@Cam: Collins and Snowe are the only Republican possibilities and that would be only 58 votes. Still not enough.
AndrewW
@AndrewW: Oh, and don’t give any money to HRC, they don’t actually do anything that helps our community. They help themselves.
