Get this: today, an elected Virginia Republican said something making national news, and it wasn’t hate-filled or embarrassing!
In all seriousness, though, I’m glad to see Sen. Warner standing up for what’s right:
I respectfully but strongly disagree with the chairman’s view that homosexuality is immoral.
Now, this doesn’t mean I expect him to start helping Rep. Meehan get this policy changed, but it’s a wonderfully refreshing change from what we’ve come to expect from his side of the aisle. Here’s hoping for more.
Also, check out Jeff Huber’s take on the matter. He’s retired Navy, and knows a thing or two about the matter at hand.

I too thought Warner was going out on a bit of a limb by speaking his mind on this issue. On the same day he made his thoughtful comments about the General’s remarks, I received a letter from Warner in response to a letter I’d sent him, indicating that while he supported diplomatic escalation in Iraq he opposed the president’s troop surge plan.. He indicated that he hoped his colleagues in the Senate would allow the resolution on Iraq which previously was killed to be brought to the floor for debate. (Indeed it has been resurrected). I’d like to say, “atta boy, Senator Warner.”
