From The Advocate ~ View From Washington: Universal Stagnation
As Rep. Barney Frank told me Friday, “I’m disappointed with the administration talking about delaying legislation for a year. But I’m working with Patrick Murphy [the lead sponsor of the House repeal bill] on it and I’m hoping we can push ahead.”
Like many pro-repeal advocates, Frank has consistently pinpointed the National Defense Authorization Act as “the only vehicle” for overturning the ban legislatively. When I noted that the White House has failed to designate the defense authorization bill over a stand-alone bill as its preferred method for repealing the policy, Frank responded, “That’s because they don’t want it done this year, not because they want it done separately.” (UPDATE: Frank revised this quote Monday, urging the White House to “make clear that it supports legislative action this year.”)
Unlike Barney Frank I am not revising anything. My wallet is empty and my patience is at an end. No vote this year means no vote from me next election. You can shove your pretty words up your ass. Your promises should be kept this year.
Like any other consumer when you sell me something that falls far short of any type of HOPE I had for your presidency I will simply not “buy your excuses” or “your lies” again.
This means no votes for the Democrats and no money for the HRC and that is just the way it will remain. You had your chance and failed. You made your promises and made no attempt to follow through.
No end to DADT, means no vote and no money and no excuses.
