Ron's View

It’s a rare day when I praise Republican senators. Today is one of those days.

Thank you Scott Brown (Massachusetts), Richard Burr (North Carolina), Susan Collins (Maine), John Ensign (Nevada), Mark Kirk (Illinois), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Olympia Snowe (Maine), and George Voinovich (Ohio) for leaving your troglodytic colleagues behind and voting for the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, a landmark in this nation’s uneven but continuing progression towards individual dignity and equality. And thanks too to Joe Lieberman (Connecticut), for your leadership in making repeal possible. Whatever your faults, you will forever be remembered for this.

As for you, John McCain, you will be remembered too, in shame.
