Basic Decency On Life Support

by digby

I can hardly believe it, but according to this excellent source, the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is on life support in the congress. Evidently, it doesn’t even matter if the Joint Chiefs and Dick Cheney sign off on it, it’s just too liberal for America.

This is yet another sign that the Democrats have already decided that their best bet for holding on to their seats is to run like frightened rabbits and disavow as many of their most ardent supporters as possible. I guess their focus groups are telling them that the voters really respect people who abandon their principles at the least sign of trouble.

*Sigh*. Joe Sudbay has more, here.

Update: And, again, I hope nobody tries to blame the troops. They are fine with it.
