Today, John McCain "won" the day when he led the GOP Filibuster that blocked the Senate from considering the defense authorization bill which included an amendment to gradually repeal Don’t Ask Don't Tell.
Aftermaths, John McCain was discussing the vote with reporters. When pressed by The Advocate’s Kerry Eleveld and Metro Weekly’s Chris Geidner on the right of gays to serve in the US military, Senator John McCain appeared to lose his temper. He even asked them to leave his office. John McCain lashed out at them and was in complete Meltdown Mode.
here the Transcript (Think Progress's Wonk Room) for those who can't stomach lying and pathetic John McPain :
MCCAIN: We do not go out and seek. Regulations are, we do not go out and seek to find out if someone’s sexual orientation. We do not!
ELEVELD: But senator, that’s not...
MCCAIN: That is the fact! That is the fact. Now ma’am, I know the military very well, and I know what’s being done. And what is being done is that they are not seeking out people who are gay. And I don’t care what you say, I know it’s a fact.
ELEVELD: It’s not what I say.
MCCAIN: I dont’ care what you say! And I don’t care what others say. I’ve seen it in action. I’ve seen it in action. I have sons in the military, I know the military very well. So they’re not telling you the truth.
ELEVELD: Senator, just to make sure...
MCCAIN: Just to make sure. We do not go out and seek out and find out....
ELEVELD: Private emails are not being searched? Private emails are not being searched?
MCCAIN: ...See if someone is gay or not. We do not go out and see whether someone is gay or not.
ELEVELD: There are documented cases...
MCCAIN: They do not, they do not, they do not. You can say that they are, you can say [inaudible] it’s not true!... Yea, I’d like to see...
GEIDNER: It is the case of Mike Almy, Senators.
MCCAIN: Bring them to our office. It is not the policy, it is not the policy, it is not the policy.
GEIDNER: But it is the case that it’s happening, Senator.
MCCAIN: It is not the policy, it is not the policy, it is not the policy You can say that it is the policy, sir if you choose to. It is not the policy. I would be glad to get that to you in writing.
