43 Republicans Join Democrats to Support Obama’s Transgender Agenda

The Daily Signal ^ | 5/26/16 | Ryan T. Anderson

[milton23]

On Wednesday night, 43 Republican members of Congress joined the Democrats to vote for President Barack Obama’s transgender agenda.

Whereas last week Congress voted to reject this proposal—known as the Maloney Amendment—last night they voted to ratify Obama’s 2014 executive order barring federal contractors from what it describes as “discrimination” on the basis of “sexual orientation and gender identity” in their private employment policies.

And, of course, “discrimination” on the basis of “gender identity” can be something as simple as having a bathroom policy based on biological sex, not gender identity, as we learned last week from Obama’s transgender directives. And “discrimination” on the basis of “sexual orientation” can be something as reasonable as an adoption agency preferring married moms and dads for orphans, than other arrangements.

These gop-e traitor-to-their-electorate degenerates need to be primaried and to lose.

[drypowder]

Let people go their own way, do their own thing and so forth but the federal nor a state government has no recognized authority to force upon the rest of society the perversions of the few. It is obvious the POS in the WH is doing everything he can to insight the people against his tyranny. I suspect he will get worse as January 20, 2017 approaches.

[Bitsy]

Bet they would just all like to go to the same bathroom as women! Disgusting and perverted. I hope all are voted OUT next time they’re up for re-election. Listen to the PEOPLE.

[Harpotoo]

Failed to pass today. Tea leaves anyone?

[Lurkinanloomin]

There’s a whole lot of Cantorizing needs doing.....

[VanDeKoik]

SERIOUSLY?! Amash voted FOR this?!

Good luck explaining that vote to us. That one is NOT going to go down well here.

[Sarah Barracuda]

And this is why people are sick of BOTH parties..Democrat/Republican Elitist scum, both the same..so apparently they would have NO problem with letting their daughters in a bathroom with a grown man wearing a dress..sick perverted behavior being allowed, sick world we have become

[1217Chic]

I liked Leonard Lance, now I’m not voting for him.

[Ingtar]

Hmm. My GOP congress critter is in the not voting list.

[Amendment10]

”… Obama’s 2014 executive order barring federal contractors [emphasis added] ..."

A key question concerning federal contractors is this. Are they doing work that Congress can justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers?

[Lionheartusa1]

,,,,, very good ,,,, I saw that already ,,,, now to make it easier can you separate out the perverted buttheads who are the republicans ? I know some but we should separate out those 43 who would like their daughters showering with the he/shes .

[unixfox]

Now that’s funny, I don’t care who ya are!

[Godebert]

Adam Kinzinger, douchebag (IL) is among the 43. This little twerp endorsed Jeb Bush during the primary and has been bashing Trump non-stop ever since.

[PeteyBoy]

“There you go again” congressperson Tom Reed from New York.

The democrat he is running against is a phony but I will NOT vote for Tom Reed. Even though he endorsed Trump. I still believe he did that only because Trump is so popular in Western New York and will have “coattails”.

Won’t work! I’m on it!

[Crucial]

This is just another way of blackmailing American businesses via lawsuits that continue to make lawyers rich.

[Tzimisce]

People like me have been warning you.
We’ve been waving flags and screaming.

And we’ve been laughed at, mocked, made fun of and called racists and radicals.

So here we are - and you voted for it.

What do you want me to say?

[fwdude]

My GOP congress critter is in the not voting list.

Same here. What the hell?!

[woodenickel]

Joe Heck is on the ballot to replace dingy hairy in the senate. Just lost my vote.
