Well then continue to be the pawn of the Democrats who claim to support you but will screw you every chance they can get. Just keep lapping up the BS they tell you that there will be 'change' soon. Maybe Obama would care about gay rights if you wanted to build a Mosque? Might want to consider converting to Islam.
That was not a vote on DADT.. it was a Defense Bill that included a provision to repeal DADT. I want a straight up or down vote on this one issue. I bet many of the Democrats that voted FOR this bill would not have done so had they thought it would pass.
In combat arms? I don't think you have to worry about that. Navy sure it's probably half now, Air Force sure. Support personal sure. But I just don't see to many gay Rangers.
Democrats had enough of a majority to prevent amendments as well. They could simply introduce a specific bill to address this one single issue, but the reality is that I think there are a lot on both sides of the isle who think it politically inexpedient to have a simple up or down vote on this single issue.

A single senator can block debate on any bill. This can be done in secret and it takes 60 votes to end debate and bring it to the floor for a vote. GOP would shit a brick if they had to vote against repeal in public. The only guy speaking out is John McCain using the excuse of a single Marine comemdant objecting.
