Public Wants DADT Repealed

.

Public opinion on repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is as promising as it’ll ever get.

Three-quarters of Americans say that they support openly gay people serving in the U.S. military, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, a finding that could lend momentum to the Obama administration’s effort to dismantle the policy known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

The percentage of Americans who say they support gays openly serving is the same as a Post-ABC News poll found in July 2008; both are far above the 44 percent who said so in May 1993. In the new poll, majorities across party lines favor such a policy, with support among Democrats (82 percent) and independents (77 percent) higher than among Republicans (64 percent).

So how long are Democrats going to drag this thing out and do nothing?  The longer they wait, the more time they give Republicans to turn DADT into a national security ‘crisis’ and scare the living hell out of people.
