Poll question: Would you trade away the repeal of the Bush Tax Cuts for the repeal of DADT?

I've heard a rumor that Obama is offering a quid pro quo to the Republicans on taxes in exchange for their vote to do away with DADT. (I'd take that deal, BTW.)

care about. Why does it have to be one or the other? Why not both??? DADT gone, AND tax cuts for the middle class ONLY.

4. "Why does it have to be one or the other?"
Because there are too many people in Congress with R after their names?

I'm sick of the Obama administration caving on popular issues that the people want. No negotiations, no deals, stand the fuck up and fight.

9. Other: I want both the repeal of DADT and the end of tax cuts
for the rich. I wouldn't make the trade.

10. No, DADT repeal is inevitable. Trading something for it makes no sense to me

12. You are right. The courts will take care of this but they can't do a thing about
tax breaks for the rich or the national debt.

13. 'No civil rights for gays or the destruction of America' is not a choice I will ever make.
I'd rather die fighting for both.
