John McCain Reponds to Lady Gaga's Effort to Repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

John McCain and the Republican rank and file had an opportunity to redeem a long trajectory of standing on the wrong side of history when it comes to civil rights...once again, they dropped the ball completely. Gaga is acting as any concerned citizen should, she is using her voice and money to try to bring about justice. The problem is that the majority of American citizens don't use their voice so they seem outraged when someone does. As for those of you who argue that this is a military issue. As a taxpaying citizen, I own the military as much as the next person. We would condemn this kind of blanket discrimination in private and public sector workplaces. Our military should be held to an even higher standard, in my opinion. DADT is a relic of dark time in our nation's history, like a remaining Jim Crow law. It's time the Republican party welcome the 21st century and vote for its repeal.

It is nice to know that someone who will soon be irrelevant, Lady Gaga, wants to try to get involved in things that she doesn't understand. She should shut her mouth and work on her music. I am sure there is another song to rip off or some ridiculous outfit to try on.

Thank God we have Lady Gaga to set the record straight! For years I have heard "important" celebrities spout out their political nonsense but I think that we can truly believe everything she says. I mean, she is a big star now and the way she dresses and acts really shows everyone what a scholar and deep thinker she really is. We would all be extremely stupid to not to listen to her. I really think that the fate of the world will be determined by her very word. Lady Gaga for president!!!

What are we going to have next? Lady GaGa making national security policy?...

Get real!!! We are supposed to take seriously a women that goes to ball games in her underwear. I have no opinion on DADT. But why should anyone listen to any CELB. Most of them are crazy and don't live in the REAL world. The country would be better off if they never publicly voiced an opinion on anything but enertainment. What gives them the idea they know what they are talking about?

Unless you've worn a uniform I think you should keep your nose out of this. That goes for congress and Celebrities. Let the military make the decision. Let the brass ask the recruiters who can ask the high school juniors and seniors. I've ask a few, I also ask a Marine just out of boot camp. They can live with DADT but their bad-ass rep goes straight to hell if it's repealed.

Let me see, war hero , Patriot John McCain. Lady Gaga....... nuff said.

Go get 'em lil monsters.

What is this world coming to? Lady Gaga pro-Harry Reid and anti-John McCain while Snookie is pro-McCain. I can only ponder how Megham McCain will come down on DADT.
