Senator John McCain, a ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, says repeal of “don't ask, don't tell,” the military's ban on open gay service, is unnecessary because “it's been successful.”

The Republican senator from Arizona appeared on ABC's This Week where he told George Stephanopoulos that there was no need to alter or repeal “don't ask, don't tell.”

“I've said for months, I'll be glad to have a thorough review of the policy by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and their recommendations,” McCain answered Stephanopoulos, who had asked how, if at all, he would alter “don't ask, don't tell.” “But in all due respect, right now the military is functioning extremely well in very difficult conditions. We have to have an assessment on recruitment, on retention and all the other aspects of the impact of our military if we change the policy. In my view, and I know that a lot of people don't agree with that, the policy has been working and I think it's been working well.”

no one cares what you think - you lost, remember?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

So I really don't care what he thinks anymore.

(I'm yelling because what McCain said is making my head hurt.)

"the policy has been working and I think it's been working well"

What does that mean, "the policy has been working"?

no one's been asking? or telling? or what?

presidential candidacy as out-of-touch and clueless...

He thinks it works because at its core, it affirms the notion that it's not acceptable to be gay. McCain and the right will never support anything where the government says officially through law that it's okay to be gay.

Let this be a lesson to all: This guy didn't turn into an asshole during the election. He was always an asshole.

That nonsense is why you aren't president, Johnny boy.

I really despise that filthy old hypocritical asshole!
