I’d say you need to go read your history again and then read the book ‘Duped America’

Laura, you need to go read your history again. Yes, Bill Clinton did sign DOMA and DADT into law. He did so to prevent the newly rethuglican-controlled congress from passing other, far more heinous legislation against us – including a constitutional amendment defining marriage as one-man-one-woman. To call President Clinton the “founder” of “institutional discrimination” is ignorant and lazy, it always escapes me how anyone in this country can be so willing to fall for the b.s. of blaming all of this hate and ignorance on Bill. Then, as now, we had a President struggling with a Congress filled with people who were fighting him every step of the way, who wanted nothing more than to fulfill the wet dreams of their corporate and Reich-wing masters. There were no choices for Bill Clinton at that point in history, it was either sign two pieces of legislation that he knew were vile or see the congress override his veto of legislation that was far more hateful and discriminatory.

DOMA is an unbelievable piece of legislation coming from Bill Clinton. Why did he want to restrict marriage? Does Hillary support DOMA too? Such institutionalized discrimination from the guy that’s now seemingly so unlikely to be the founder of it.

Indeed, this well-reported article fails sadly in this respect. Amend, please.

Not like we have more important issues Congress? Like you haven’t submitted a proper budget in many years? Let’s hold up Congressional perks – limos, sedans, travel, hotels, until a budget gets submitted that the President can sign.
