Reply #7: First major battle of Clinton administration

[Fresh_Start]

let gays into the military. Even though "don't ask, don't tell" was a compromise....it was an issue which the wingers are not willing to compromise on

there are of course other reasons...but Clinton started out liberal and started out trying to fulfil his campaign promises. Of course, the media was already under winger control so the policies were less liberal than we wanted.

Even DOMA was a political move to undercut a Constitutional Amendment drive by the wingers
