Duh! These are politicians we're talking about, Harry Reid included. However, once again and you should know this by now, IF the house allows a floor vote, even if the vote defeats the measure, the senate will then be free to take it up again. Only by refusing a floor vote in the house does the house prevent the senate from running over them, bypassing them.
then i guess the house has no qualms with doing the very same harry reid does the same thing in the senate.
they could have done the same thing by holding a vote and have all republicans vote no, why did they not try that.

In what universe is letting the house vote on a bill bypassing the house?
I hope they do go on the record as being in favor of employment discrimination.Reid won't bring bills to the floor.....The house will bring the bill to the floor and it will be soundly defeated.........Big difference my left wing friend.
At least you admit this is purely for the sake of hiding their political beliefs from the electorate.Nope. Holding a floor vote would be stupid politically for the republicans. This way, next election, depending on whom they are talking to at the moment, they can claim either side of the issue.
Clownboy disagreesThey will I promise you.
I hope they do go on the record as being in favor of employment discrimination.
In this one, the one you've apparently been ignoring. If the house takes a vote, the senate may revisit the issue (senate rules), if they do not allow it to the floor, the issue is dead. This is why Reid kept calling for a CR to make the house floor vote, even though he knew it would be defeated. Also why the house changed their rule and kept it from coming to a floor vote.
Are you not reading these threads? It's been explained over and over again.

The problem is it will be abused. employees who are fired because of incompetence will claim they were fired because they are gay. No one should be fired because of their sexuality but and employer should have the right to fire or hire someone as needed....Good luck it passing in the HOR.
so rather then take any position on the bill, they would rather kill the bill and never address the issue at all?
again the house republicans are cowards.
Why address it? The bill is a violation of human rights. It deserves to be ignored.
the right to discriminate?

Yea, everyone fired thinks its because of something else. Like not being worth a crap at their job.Here you go. Just because you don't believe it does not mean that it doesn't happen. There should be laws on the books to stop this kind of non-sense.

He's probably one of those people who thinks a law like this makes it illegal to fire a gay person, or that it forces you to hire a gay person.

No, it just makes it so you can't deny someone for that reason. Guess what? I have the right to do that. It's my business, my property, my resources, and my mother****ing call on who I will associate with.
LoL. Calm down old yeller.

It's my business, my property, my resources, and my mother****ing call on who I will associate with, how long I will do, and for what reason I do so. I don't care if people think my right is fair. They have no right to be on my property, to get my service, to force me to associate with them, or to be employed.
