The article goes on to describe the results of an ABC\/Washington Post poll;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Three-quarters of Americans say that they support openly gay people serving in the U.S. military, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, a finding that could lend momentum to the Obama administration&#8217;s effort to dismantle the policy known as &#8220;don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The level of public support for allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly far outpaces that in the spring of 1993, when Congress and the Clinton administration established the policy. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, ya know what? I took a poll last night in which 95% of respondents agreed that Washington Post and ABC employees should all stand outside their respective offices naked in a snow bank through the upcoming weekend. All of the respondents were not employees of ABC or the Washington Post and admitted that their position on the issue wouldn&#8217;t affect them personally so why should they care? I&#8217;ll be anxiously awaiting ABC and Washington Post&#8217;s compliance with the results of my poll beginning tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n<p>I fully expect dicksmith to have an anuerism from glee as he posts this story on VoteVets this morning while disregarding any mention that 75% of Americans also approve of keeping Guantanamo open. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headlines at the Washington Post this morning scream 75% back letting gays serve openly.
