Why? Given the number of mentions of Republicans blocking the repeal of the bill, I thought it important to point out the role of the other party.
Also, to be clear - the votes to repeal DADT are there, and they have been there from the beginning of Obama's term. Democrats talk a good game, but they don't deliver.
I also know what game Republicans play with the issue. Many elected Republican don't like DADT but they don't have the courage to vote for repeal or hide behind "military leaders". The nation simply needed an elected Democratic President to deliver on the promise, and it will be done - the nation will move on - the military will adapt, in fact be relieved that this controversy is over.
