North Carolina's Richard Burr joined seven other Senate Republicans in voting to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell this afternoon.
And nobody saw it coming. Legislation sponsor Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, says she didn't even bother lobbying Burr for support of the repeal.
"It's just that we’ve had a generational change and I have vehemently objected to making a policy change of this magnitude at this time. When cloture was passed, that settled that,” Burr told
Politico. “It’s not accepted practice anywhere in our society, and it only makes sense. But again, I was vehemently opposed to the timing of this
."
That's a bona fide wishy-washy statement but they say it ain't wise to look a gift horse in the mouth.
