Quote Of The Day – Barney Frank

“What do I say to the idea that this [DOMA] is a wedge issue? I say ‘Hallelujah.’ The fact that we’ve now evolved to the point where the Republicans are complaining about the fact that we introduced this bill because it causes them political problems is a great sign of progress.
