McCain?" Oh you know him, he is a republican who brought us sarah palin.
Yes, wonderful sarah who hates gays as well. Seems her family hates
gays too! So instead of challenging republicans on DADT, people are
using our group to rant about terrible democratics? And how they don't
support Obama's mysterious agenda. That figures!!! Waste of energy!
By the way, the word is not democrat. the word is democratic. Please
refer to the democratic party as such. Our members are being offended
by these riduloius rants against Obama and democratics rather than
focusing on the "party of NO (REPUBLICANS)." The truth is the truth;
but some just can't stomach the truth. ....jake

ummm... I'm not sure where you were for the 8 years that President Bush
was in office, but most of it was pretty acrimonious. Â Except for
the period directly following 9/11, the Democrats HATED President Bush.
 I can't count the number of times I heard, "He's not my President"
or "He's a war criminal" Â or "He's a traitor and a liar". Â Â

And honestly, a lot of my friends who are in the military don't really

 I have chosen to join several of Jakes yahoo groups for 2 reasons.
 The first, of course, are the hot pics.  And the second? Â
for the health and fitness tips that they profess to give.

I am a supporter and friend of Megan McCain. Even invited her to my
home. In the Obama group i made clear that I like the idea of
individuals who support gay rights taking over both parties. But, find
me a handful of Republican politicians that will vote to end DADT. Right
now, it is difficult to find "one." Even more outrageous and they admit
it, by saying NO they hope to defeat Obama. Democratics supported George
W Bush. Now it is time for Republicans to support Pres. Obama. It is
suppose to be "country 1st" and "party 2nd.". What happened? Aren't you
a-shamed of not finding republicans who will vote to end DADT? Enough is
enough!!! If you believe I am unfair, I apologize. But, my notion is
that we are a democracy. If republicans do not support my democratic
rights, than they are my enemy and i shall do my best to defeat the
republicans for voting against me. In
> every single state; whereas, they have a republican gov and the
legislature voted to support gay marriage, the govenor vetoed it. What
happened to Democracy? Want the hate to end? Than CALL and write the
republicans and tell them to vote yes on ending DADT. Than we can talk
further. Further, anyone with HIV is automatically turned down for
private health care insurance. The new insurance law changes it. Now
republicans want to take away insurance on individuals with HIV and
pre-exisisting illness? Sorry, I will not stand for it. Hell no, I will
not change my mind. If anything, i will become more bitter. Country will
go no where when you have a "Party of NO." Period!!!...jake
