anti gay congressman Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.)

[RedRubberBall]

The leading House Democrat on military policy said Friday that he opposes repealing the law that bans openly gay people from serving in the military.

Seventeen years ago, Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.) played a major role in crafting the controversial law known as "Don't ask, don't tell." When President Bill Clinton wanted to lift the ban preventing gay people from joining the military, Skelton opposed the move. The end result was a compromise under which gay service members would conceal their sexual orientation.

Now, after President Barack Obama pledged during his campaign and first year in office to repeal the law, Skelton finds himself on the opposite side once again.

Pisses me off that Congress even has a say in this. It'd be better if this were a matter between the commander in chief and high-ranking military officials.

Mr. Nihilist reveals all with his "gay agenda."

[youngnihilist]

Most Democrats are still against gay marriage, including your progressive lefty commie hero Obama. Go to any midwestern or southern democrat and they're just as antigay as any Republican.

Ike may be in tough reelection this year.
