re: #592 sizzleRI

Why doesn’t it make sense for Republicans to just allow gays to serve openly? Same result for you.

I’d rather they do that, but they are not going to do that. Too much of the party base is set against it. And Mitch McConnell can’t just cave in, he has to get something. My proposal is as follows:

Strip out DADT repeal, leave the DREAM Act in. The Dems get something they want, and the GOP doesn’t look like it gave away the store. It’s not the best thing, but its what’s most likely to be doable.
