Comments on: McCain Blocks Defense Authorization Bill Over DADT http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/08/05/25130 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Wed, 22 May 2013 16:42:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Jim Burroway http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/08/05/25130/comment-page-1#comment-75102 Jim Burroway Mon, 09 Aug 2010 13:49:40 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=25130#comment-75102 Louis, you're trolling. And your argument is completely ridiculous and your trolling obnoxious. Benedict Arnold is the best example of why straights should be kept out of the military. There is no evidence to suggest that gays are a security risk any more than anyone else. If you want to make arguments here, make sure you have evidence to back it up. You have posted nearly a dozen comments here with not virtually no source citations for your empty assertions. Aphorisms are not arguments. Louis, you’re trolling.

But then when it came time for him to run for president, he reversed himself and supported the tax cuts. That's when I lost all respect for him, and he hasn't failed my feeling of distain ever after. He's a geezer, and while we didn't have TV and the internet to record the bigots during the civil Rights Movement, we do now, and he will go down in history with a sh!tty legacy. What I want to know is where are the voices of Cindy and Megan now? Does anyone remember McCain right after the Bush Tax cuts for the rich saying on TV: “This is bad legislation!”

Now we have most of the seniors supporting it and john mcpain blocking the defense bill because of DADT, what a typical politician. The sad part is now I live in AZ because the military transferred me and my partner here.

Can you imagine the ultra Conservative, gay-hating people he would have nominated for the Supreme Court? People certainly complain about Obama a lot, but I’m so glad McCain didn’t win.

McCain is desperately running to the right in an attempt to hold onto his seat. There was a time, years ago, when I actually had some level of respect for Sen. McCain. Those times are long gone. Hopefully this bigot will retire from the Senate soon Sen. McCain is desperately running to the right in an attempt to hold onto his seat.
