We've been dealing with this for decades ruggerson Apr 2012 #11
I'm happy to listen to you on these issues when you're talking real solutions. n/t Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #13
The real solution is for Obama to sign the limited EO and keep the ball rolling on ENDA ruggerson Apr 2012 #15
That's one, but it's clear the White House is saying signing the EO will hurt the ENDA coalition. Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #16
No rational person believes that - it is an election year excuse ruggerson Apr 2012 #18
What does Barney Frank say about the limited EO? Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #22
Yes, there is a reason. They don't want a gay issue to come up during campaign season ruggerson Apr 2012 #25
But President Obama talks about his accomplishments in gay rights and his plans all the time. Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #27
Gay issues will come up in the campaign. Romney will be anti-gay, Obama will kick him in the nuts emulatorloo Apr 2012 #40

"But prominent members of House Democratic leadership aren’t among the signers." Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #26
WTF - ruggerson Apr 2012 #28
"There are conservative Democrats in the House who are also weasels on gay rights." Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #29

I'm not moving the goalposts. Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #31
The answer is: It's election season and he doesn't want to go out on a limb ruggerson Apr 2012 #32
But that's not true. Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #34
Also, 72 members aren't even a majority of Democratic members of the House. Bolo Boffin Apr 2012 #38
The ENDA has come up in Congress each session less one, since 1994 Bluenorthwest Apr 2012 #5
The Rs can still kill ENDA in the Senate even if we retake the House. LonePirate Apr 2012 #20
