		<description><![CDATA[That these Republicans are pushing through a piece of legislation to impose upon the military a law that clearly violates the very Constitution of the United States -- the SUPREME law of this country -- that they are bound by their oath of office is a disgrace. They should all be impeached for their refusal to obey the Constitution they are sworn to uphold.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So is GOProud endorsing the Republicans that introduced these Anti-gay Amendents too? They love to brown-nose the GOP after all at the expense of their own community just to get attention from those assholes! What&#039;s insulting is that GOproud call themselves gay at all! What&#039;s there to be proud of?

Who cares whether Veterans especially from WWII endorse repeal of DADT or not? They don&#039;t serve in the military now. Screw what they think! Since when is the military a democracy where everyone gets a vote?

The only thing I have to say about Ducan Hunter is...... where does he hang out when he has undercover gay sex? He&#039;s hot and worth using for pleasure even though I hate his politics!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs?  You and other conservatives promised jobs last November, but instead we get taxpayer money and time wasted with this radical conservative nonsense.  If militant conservative activists want to hate our troops, let them do it somewhere else instead of tying up the Defense Bills with this crap.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Ned,    As a Elected Official you and your fellow Rep&#039;s should ask the people you represent as to what they want instead of sitting up there in Washington doing as you see fit.  I bet you all would wake the fuck up if every gay &amp; Lesbian, Bi-sexual &amp; Transgender person stopped paying their taxes until they were represented equally under the same laws that you are protected by.  I hope that every fucking one of you are  denied basic rights at some point in your life so you will have a first hand understanding of how it feels.  Further more each and every elected Official that votes against Us having these rights should be prosecuted for denying Us these rights.  The Government should have to pay back all the Monies spent on fighting this as well.  What is that you don&#039;t understand to be a Constitutional Right !! May You all Burn in Hell !!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The language used, and the blatant disregard for the office of the President, and his appointees, borders on treasonous. The arrogance of the right-wing representatives is unbelievable. I hate that they lie and disregard facts, all the while pimping out the troops. It is sad that they are using them only to further an agenda, based on theology, and moralistic posturing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a Gay man who served proudly in the U.S. Navy early 90&#039;s. I never was so happy to hear that the repeal was being removed from law. DADT was a good step forward. Now it is time to get rid of it and let everyone be who they are so they can be all they can be to protect us.
As a Service Connected Veteran I am outraged that the U.S. government are arguing over something that should already be off the books. 
Republicans just put shut to the up and count your millions you have stolen from us.]]></description>
