Um, I'm pretty sure that DADT is a military matter and that Obama is Commander 
in Chief.  He doesn't need a single republican's, (or democrats for that 
matter), vote to change that.  Please take everyone out of that equation that 
doesn't belong there.

**why?  I mean which is worse, one party dominating  and telling the other party
to roll over and take it from behind, or the other party from refusing to submit
and saying NO?  That's what has been happening for the last 2 years.

Actually, they gave Republicans opportunities to participate in Healthcare, but 
Republicans wanted to have their whims bowed to.  Now, mind you, i found it 
problematic and weak of the President to just tell the Congress "write something 
and I will come back and sign it."    He should have been an active part of 
putting the bill together, considering how important he felt it was that 
Healthcare be reformed.  


Listen, I am more than willing to accept the last two years have been a two way 
street, and to take back accusations that it is all Republican's fault.  But I 
am not able to buy it was all Democrats either.

**I don’t think that is all that is happening.  The tea party has not toally
embraced the republicans, and vice versa.

I guess I missed all the Democrats the Tea Party voted into office...and all the 
Republicans they condemned.

>And more, certain things that I see as issues of liberty are things many, MANY
>of the current Republican party oppose. 

**like...

DADT and Gay Marriage.  I am concerned for Friends and family because we now 
have a majority in Congress that is skewed to, at best?  Likening homosexuality 
to alcoholism (okay, that isn't fair, Ken Buck lost).  Is there a single 
Republican that could be seen as a person gays could trust to look out for 
them?  


>It feels like an expansion of liberty I was once hopeful for is now dead.

**huh?  The democrats controlled things for the last 4 years, and that is the
republicans fault?

Right...and now the Republicans are in power and that progress is looking to be 
lost.  Because there are some Democrats who do not support gay rights and there 
appear to be no Republicans that do, it cuts into the chances of seeing gay 
people allowed to freely serve.
