The Senate at its absolute worst

For 48 consecutive years, Congress has approved the military program expenditure bill with little fanfare. This year, an attempt was made to overturn the Don't ask Don't tell policy of our military, already accomplished in the House. A nation, founded on equality for all, discriminates against its gay citizens, putting us behind other nations with greater wisdom and truer understanding of equality. Both parties acted with disgrace. The Republicans for continuing their obstruction and cow towing to their extremist base, and the Democrats for denying amendments and mixing different pieces of legislation into the bill. Both parties of the Senate acted shamelessly, again putting electoral expediency ahead of American values. The Senate at its absolute worst. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
