the usual suspects
On Thursday afternoon, the Senate passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a landmark bill that would end decades of employment discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.
The bill moved forward with support of 54 senators who caucus with the Democrats (Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania didn't vote) as well as votes from 10 Republicans, only a few months after the Supreme Court ruled that the government must recognize same-sex marriages. But most GOP Senators came out against it, and House Speaker John Boehner has promised to oppose the bill, which means it will likely be killed in the House.
don't waste your time, money or energy voting for republicans it is obvious the don't care to be elected there has been no change in their demeanor or their "PRINCIPLES" formerly known as "VALUES" they are more hateful and bigoted and racist then before,
actually that's not true the old guard was learning to cooperate while the "young guns" are still stuck in 1881 in the OK Corral blast at the smoke and bugs with no concern for collateral damage.
"One party in one house of Congress should not stand in the way of millions of Americans who want to go to work each day and simply be judged by the job they do," President Barack Obama said in a statement. "I urge the House Republican leadership to bring this bill to the floor for a vote and send it to my desk so I can sign it into law."It's already illegal for companies to discriminate against Americans on the basis of age, disability, gender, race and religion. ENDA would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list, protecting LGBT workers from being fired or denied benefits and promotions based on their sexual identity.(An amendment pushed by Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) makes it so that religious entities that don't comply can't be penalized.) Various incarnations of this non-discrimination bill have been brought forward since the 1970s, but this is the first time the Senate has passed one. In 1996, it missed the mark by one vote, and in2009 and 2010, the bill was held up over the inclusion of transgender employees.Even though Boehner has opposed the bill, citing that it would lead to "frivolous litigation"—the Government Accountability Office found there's no evidence that would happen—
frivolous with as little as 5% approval, they know of the travesty they accuse others of because like a lot of the bills they are sitting on were their's until Pres. embraced them, to say it was their idea first was not enough or a thought and by doing what they are they are showing they didn't feel that it was a good idea when they had it, but we know they did Pres. from Bin Laden to this he has bested them every time.
they are trying to get revenge and are only damaging their own now non existent chances to advance they hate everybody and everybody hates them. they do the dirt then try to sweep it on Pres.'s shoes. while we sit back on our big screen TV's and big cars with food bought with Newt's food stamps watching their bumbling antics.
