Republican bigotry is the reason they are opposed to gay rights.
You are at least right. Anyone who is opposed to Gay rights is indeed being a bigot, and there are a fair amount of those in the Republican Party. However where you go wrong is attributing that belief to all Republicans, or even to all those who opposed this bill. This was a large bill with the Don't ask/Don't tell part tacked on.
Several Republicans offered amendments to the body of the bill, not related at all to Don't ask/Don't Tell, and were thwarted from even having them considered by the Democrat Leadership. To ignore than and blame it all on Bigotry is to ignore reality.
Not that, that is anything new. par for the course. Buy what ever Line the Dems are selling today and run with it!
Sorry, I don't know anything about the Dem line.
I just call them as I see them.
Uh huh, Like you see em eh? So then you watched the Live CSpan Coverage of that day on the Senate floor like I did? I guess if you did you must have missed it as republican after Republican moved to have an amendment brought up and were shot down with out even a chance to be considered in committee. Guess that little tid Bit had nothing at all to do with the Republicans opposing the bill.
Election year political games in the Senate. Nothing more.
