Senate Halts Repeal of DADT

The legislation was attached to a military spending bill. Also attached was the "Dream Act" which is basically amnesty for 1 million or so illegals between the ages of 12-35 (if they have been in the country for 5 years and have at least a GED).

I heard that they needed to have been in country since they were minors, and either complete a term of military service or get a four-year college degree before they could get citizenship. So, not exactly a dream.
 
We're at the point where I think the tracking rules in the Senate should be amended so that a party can't filibuster indefinitely simply by stating their intention to do so. We should go back to the old rules where a filibuster actually required someone to make a speech. There used to be a real personal cost associated with the filibuster. Today, it's simply too easy.

Plus it made for better movies. <nods to Jimmy Stewart>

One of the most vicious fights the Madame and I ever had was over the merits of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington."

She hated it.

We've had to make a pact to keep our disagreements about Frank Capra silent.
 
This video is just one of many reasons why I love Lady Gaga. It's just too bad the republicans won today with their damn filibuster. Equality may have lost today, but it will win out in the end. Everyone should watch this speech from Lady Gaga. She is such an inspiration.

Any side of an argument that Lady Gaga is on should lose. No further discussion required. No matter the issue.

Sons of bitches, the bum took the words right out of my mouth. The fact that people are using her as a rallying point is frightening.

I don't like how much you're agreeing with me lately. It's making me question my opinions.

In all seriousness though, someone needs to Michael Vick that female dog.
 
Are you going to give any valid arguments against what Lady Gaga said? Did you even bother to watch her speech? Or are you writing her off completely because you think "she's so weird"? You may not like her theatrics, although many people do, but she is so much smarter than people give her credit for. If you are writing her off because you don't like her music or the way she presents it, that says more about you than it does about her.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! No, I didn't watch that retard's speech.
 
It's hard to take Gaga seriously when she dresses like a clown and makes a mockery of everything. She may be smart but the only people listening are the disenfranchised ciphers, screwballs and outcasts that flock to her. If she wants to be taken seriously she'll have to be a little more mainstream. Any senator that voted to repeal DADT because Gaga rallies the troops against him needs to be voted out regardless.
