Harry Reid: No plans to do squat on DADT, let Obama do it
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
So there you have it. The Democratic party at its homophobic, spineless, cynical best. Obama won't do squat on Don't Ask Don't Tell, he says it's the Congress' job. Harry Reid won't do squat on Don't Ask Don't Tell, he says it's Obama's job. And neither Reid nor Obama plan on doing anything to make anything happen on this issue. It's not a priority for either them. They'd rather pass a health care reform bill that excludes gay families from benefits. Oh yeah, didn't you know that? Do you honestly think Obama/Congress' health care reform bill is going to include gay ...

No Kirsten Gillibrand? No Barbara Boxer? No Chuck Schumer? All three are up for re-election-- and the first two can't be re-elected without gay support. Democrats in office have taken gay voters ...
