IF it did occur, there is no evidence that it changed the overall results.

By comparison, voter fraud in the second Bush election probably changed the outcome.

He was not appointed by the SC.

There was no voter fraud issues like during the last Bush election.

Sounds like you have a bad case of sour grapes. Poor loser?

My point was about him paying back groups like the G/L community.....stay focused

you crack me up.....you actually said........"There was no voter fraud issues like during the last Bush election" you are either joking, or very, very mis-informed.....there was rampant election fraud on the part of Acorn.....in a large number of states.

Let me explain. The GOP is in total disarray, and desperately need a social issue to rally around. This would be perfect for them. They would scream for months about it. Why give them that issue right now? Obama is too smart for that. Timing is everything.

You think there willever be a time when the GOP won't make an issue of this? And Obama did not have to do anythign here but he made the choice to ask the S.C. to reject the challenge. Notonly did he not make the effort to uphold the promise he made a 180 and appears to support the policy.

Of course they will make an issue of it, anytime it comes up. But he will probably wait until he wins a second term to take that on. First year of his second term is to the time to take on divisive social issues. He will not be seeking re-election, and it will be faint in public memory by the time the next election comes around. That is the smart way to play it.

Why do we not accept men and women showering together in public places? Because there is a sexual attraction that is a natural part of our DNA. We accept that as a line that cannot be crossed.

Homosexuality accepts that man is sexually attracted to another man in that same way he would be to a woman if he were heterosexual.

Thus, you cannot allow homosexual men to shower with heterosexual men in jobs and activities where shower and nudity are required.

It would be great if we could view the world as a utopia where sexual attraction can be turned on and off at will, but that is not the case.

If you accept that, as a man, you are attracted to other men than you have to respect ALL men's privacy.

It's not homophobia at all, just a clear acceptance of what is considered appropriate behavior and conduct in a society. If men and women are not permitted to shower together than the same goes for homosexual men.

I think he feels he needs to pay-back all the groups that helped him steal the election.....that includes this bone thrown to the G/L community.....

"Did you read the story? The S.C. rejected the challenge at the request of the Obama administration. You think he is going to direct the DOD not to enforce this? "

Yes I did read the story and my post did not indicate that the President would take such action (although I think he should), rather that he could direct the DoD to halt DADT enforcement until such time that the rule could be overturned.
