Watch...gays will be tossed under bus for healthcare support.

In weeks to come opposition for healthcare reform will fade and any gay equality issues will fade too.

This is the kind of crap Republicans do....they howl and scream irrationally for opposition to a policy that makes wayyyy too much sense to adopt but in the backrooms the deals are being made.

It is called politics. This backroom deal we will see things like ALL inclusive ENDA fade. DADT fade, and any reworking of DOMA...fade. The Dem leadership will let it fade.

Don't doubt it...Repukes can really live with a public healthcare option. What they can't live with is gay people.

After all...it is all about Marsha Marsha Marsha...

4. Repukes will support healthcare reform if DADT and DOMA repeal - ENDA die.

Don't Ask Don't tell
Defense of Marriage Act
Employment Non-Discrimination Act (including transgender...)

Will be made bargaining chips to lock in enough support for Public Healthcare option.

3. Seems likely, yes

Gay rights haven't been a major concern with this administration, at least once the campaigning was over.

5. Your suggestion that the Republicans will trade this for that

assumes a level of rationality unseen so far in the typical Republican.

6. Gays were tossed under the bus some 1000 miles back

tossed under, driven over, bus backed up and drove over them again... The bus is now halfway down Baja California and wondering how it got into a fire fight with the Banditos (and where are those damn re-enforcements!) and is busy throwing the unemployed and old folks off the bus so they can drive FASTER into the withering fire.

Sorry. no can do that boogaloo.

9. I read this thread just as it was announced on MSNBC that the administration filed papers calling on

the court to recommend ending the practice of DOMA in the law.
