Rep. Barney Frank on ENDA Motion to Recommit

The House debates the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), H.R. 3685, to be followed by debate on the bill itself. In 30 states, it is currently legal to fire someone simply because of his or her sexual orientation. This bill will prohibit employers, employment agencies and labor unions from using an individual's sexual orientation as the basis for employment decisions, such as hiring, firing, promotion or compensation. The bill extends federal employment protections to gay, lesbian, and bisexual workers similar to those already provided to a person based on race, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. Rep. Barney Frank speaks against the motion to recommit from the Republicans, which contains redundant language but would intentionally kill the bill by delay.

So you hate the guy because he's a liberal?

I bet you anything the only reason you hate the guy is because he's gay and is not afraid to stand up to Bush and his cronies.

Nothing "radical" about wanting equal rights for all.

It's interesting isn't it? Barney Frank is defending the right of gay men and women to not suffer discrimination. Meanwhile, his closeted Republican colleagues cower like sissy boys, hoping that no one finds out about them. Not only is Barney "the man", he's a "real man".

@GypsyWytch .........it's a sad state of affairs when things here go more to the liking of a fucking witch than it does to decent people.

AMAZING, this clown is still in office.

I guess america votes for their own type, thus half of the congress/senate are as unqualified as those mooks who can't properly handle their own finances or balance their freekin checkbooks

Just waiting patiently for one of the 300+ million citizens out here to start poking out the eyes of the thieving ceo's and senators who didn't sign the bills to tighten regulations on the lenders and derivatives traders a few years back.

Ron Paul might be ok, but these idiots....are you serious..I can only assume that you either do not know Ron Paul or are ignorant of the democrat agenda. The two would not mix well.
