135. Yeah, it looks like he didn't have the political will to fight for equal rights.
Would have cost him some political capital.
Would have been risky.
Might have cost him his job.

Like, how many fucking excuses can one person make before you stop beleiveing the shit coming out of their mouth?

I'm not even gay, but for once in the last 34 years, I thought we had someone in the White House who would act upon what he said he would do about giving gays equal rights.

We can't do it this year because we have other work to do first.
We can't do it this year because, an election year, mid-terms, must keep control of Congress.
We can't do it this year because we have a lot of other work to do first.
We can't do it this year because, an election year, presidential race, must keep White House.
We can't do it this year because we have so much other work to do first.
We can't do it this year because, an election year, mid-terms, must keep control of Congress.
It's like listening to a broken record with the needle stuck in the same groove, saying the same thing over and over and over again.

For 4 fucking decades!!!
Un-fucking-real!!

We know the Republicans will never give gays their rights, but now we know the Democrats won't either!!!

We don't have the votes.
We can't do it this year because we have too much other work to do first.
We can't get it out of the House subcommittee.
We can't do it this year because we have important work to do first.
We can't get it out of the Senate committee.
We can't do it this year because we have more important work to do first.
We can't get the House to decide on which version to pass.
We can't do it this year because we have very important work to do first.
We can't get the Senate to decide which version of the bill to discuss.
We can't do it this year because we have extremely important work to do first.
We can't the House to accept the Senate's version of the bill.
We can't do it this year because we have tremendously important work to do first.

We won't do it.


Why didn't you say that in the first place?
We'll start voting for people who will keep their campaign promises!!

Holy Shit - that'll be a change!!!!

Yes, we can!!!!!
