Republican Senator John McCain, whose wife Cindy McCain and daughter Meghan McCain have both posed for the NOH8 Campaign, issued a response to President Obama's State of the Union Address promise to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" in the coming year.  McCain is all for keeping the deleterious policy in place. Here is his response:

"In his State of the Union address, President Obama asked Congress to repeal the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy. I am immensely proud of, and thankful for, every American who wears the uniform of our country, especially at a time of war, and I believe it would be a mistake to repeal the policy.

"This successful policy has been in effect for over fifteen years, and it is well understood and predominantly supported by our military at all levels. We have the best trained, best equipped, and most professional force in the history of our country, and the men and women in uniform are performing heroically in two wars. At a time when our Armed Forces are fighting and sacrificing on the battlefield, now is not the time to abandon the policy."
