Will Jim Webb Betray Gay Americans and Support McCain's Flibuster of DADT?

DADT is admittedly an emotional issue for me. I know far too many fine, honorable and wonderful individuals who have been thrown out of the military under DADT - a policy that in my view is purely religious base discrimination that has been enshrined in the laws of this nation. Indeed, it is to a point where I am probably going to ignore my prior resolve and simply abandon the Democratic Party if DADT does not move forward tomorrow - especially should Jim Webb and other Democrats fail to vote unanimously for cloture and a vote on the bill. Words and campaign promises DO matter and I am over being played for a fool.

MSNBC is reporting that Webb will side with McCain and support the filibuster. How upset am I? Off the charts. In fact, the boyfriend and I are set to host an event for Glenn Nye on Sunday at our home. I have just notified Nye's office and the Hampton Party Chair that the event will be cancelled if the Democrats don't deliver a unanimous vote for cloture and DADT repeal tomorrow. It's time that they deliver on promises.

Should I walk away from the Party, some will claim I am cutting off my nose to spite my face, but sooner or later when one has to demand integrity from elected officials.
