Reply #41: But Clinton didn't lose Congress on this issue

[Big Sky Boy]

And we enable the conservative revisionists if we concede that point. If people most people really are idiots and believe something that isn't true, than it is our responsibility to remind them about what really happened.

DADT was the first issue to embarrass Clinton, but it wasn't the only one. And he upset EVERYONE with his compromise. He upset the gay community because he dashed our hopes, and he upset conservatives who didn't think it went far enough.

Most pundits saw his administration as rudderless, reacting to the issue of the day. Lacking a clear public mandate and with no real vision, he was daily raked over the coals on a variety of issues.

I don't want this to be the first thing that Pelosi tackles. But I don't want it off the table either, and I am afraid that's where it's headed.
