The controversial ‘Don’t ask Don’t tell’ was repealed today much to Senator John McCain’s dismay. Once an advocate of repealing DADT, McCain, king of flip flops, has now become one of the most vocal opponents.

Every Democrat voted for the repeal, however, some Republicans broke rank.
Worth noting are:
Murkowski (R-AK)
Kirk (R-IL)
Collins (R-ME)
Brown (R-MA),
Snowe (Maine)
Voinovich (Ohio)
He bemoaned “this bizarro world that the majority leader has been carrying us in,” and taunted: “Maybe it will require another election.” The Arizonan suggested those who vote to repeal would have blood on their hands. “Don’t think that it won’t be at great cost,” he said, punctuating his words by bouncing on his toes and chopping with his left hand. It will “probably,” he said, “harm the battle effectiveness which is so vital to the survival of our young men and women in the military.”
My emphasis
Since the Presidential election, McCain has targeted any issue the President advocates, but now he’s also taking on the majority of the American people, who take no issue with gays serving in the military openly.
McCain’s staunch attitude in its insanity, with papers in front of him — and the grim look on his face — implying blood is on our hands — is further proof his presidency would not have spoken for the American voters’ desires.
McCain who states ‘distraction’ will cost American lives, is perhaps speaking of himself. Thou doth protest too much Senator.
