Suppose during the 2008 election that only 25% of 400,000 registered Democratic voters voted for President Obama and this became a contributing factor to you winning the presidential election, would you then say ‘well, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles when those 400,000 voters had a chance to vote?’ Of course you would, because the hypothetical outcome favors YOUR political interest! Well, keep dreaming! You simply can’t handle the fact that you lost to PRESIDENT OBAMA and so now you and your colleagues want to stick it to him. Furthermore, you also had to convince your wife to go public saying that she suddenly had a change of heart and now supports your pathetic stance on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, just to cover your ass! You know, as well as the rest of us Americans, that Cindy does not truely support your position on Don’t ask Don’t Tell as well as same sex marriage. Whether you want to admit it or not, gays and lesbians have always served this country proudly and will continue doing so. Frankly, as a retired gay Navy verteran, I’m deeply disappointed with your politics.
