And when you don't vote during the midterm elections, this is what happens. Stop getting mad at the Republican party for doing what they were elected to do and focus on electing your own party instead.
I blame the dems that didn't vote.
Well if all you do is bitch on the Internet but don't actually send your congressmen some letters or don't vote then it is a waste.29 did the exactly opposite of what they were elected to do, which is discriminate apparently, but that doesn't change anything about the cowards that changed their votes or how much we're allowed to despise them or their ilk.
The amendment from Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-New York, would have barred federal contracts to companies that discriminate against LGBT employees. It was an attempt to undo a provision inside a major defense bill the House passed a night earlier that would reverse President Obama's executive order extending anti-discrimination protections to federal contractors' LGBT employees

Lol, the West coast is just as bad if not worse because of their privilege.What the fuck
The majority of those listed are Californians? They live in one of the most liberal places in the US. How the fuck are they so backward?
The riders are a bit troubling:

A question for Republican-gaf:
Why does your party hate us so much?

We are their scapegoat, their scare into forcing fundamentalist evangelicals to vote for them to get their own schemes accomplished. It's so disgusting. I really can't, it makes me so mad lol.A question for Republican-gaf:

You're different. You don't fit into their simple worldview. That's why.A question for Republican-gaf:

Just as a reminder kids:
Don't forget to vote during midterm elections.
It really does mean a lot.

Can Obama veto the initial bill?
Damn, fuck those who switched their vote.
Does anyone know the chance of this passing the Senate? Not that I wouldn't have liked it to pass the house either way, but could this have potentally been signed into law?
What the fuck

Thank you for answering everybody. I certainly wish I could hear from some (other) Republicans explain why it's worth putting everybody else in a blender.
Not a Republican but it probably boils down to being a significant voting and funding block for the other party.
The only people to blame are the ones that didn't come out to vote in 2014.
And it's because of shit like "both parties are the same and that why I don't vote because it doesn't matter" bullshit

I wonder what goes through the mind of a republican when they vote to allow companies to discriminate against the LGBT community?
Do they miss the Jim Crow laws?
Do they even feel a little guilt, or is it strictly a "holier than thou" thing?
Republicans who switched their votes to block the amendment:

This is misplaced when one is being investigated for corruption, one has cancer, one is basically retired and the other two have been absent a lot recently. It's not like they didn't want to attach themselves to this specifically.
Blame the Republicans or the people who didn't vote in the midterms that allowed such a lopsided congress.
They're all from Orange County, north San Diego county, and inland/central california. All of those regions are our Republican strongholds. I live in Orange County and it still surprises me just how conservative most people around here are.
Yeah, I'm sure sending that shitty congressman from my state who switched up his vote a mean letter would do a ton of good, or a mean tweet would flip some switches. I do vote though, so nice try.
This is some villain shit.
How exactly does that keep the vote open process work? I though you vote yay or nay and that's it.
Claims of being "independent" are bullshit. A person's party reflects and predicts the vast majority of their votes.For shame, Walden. He likes to talk a big game here in Oregon about not bowing to national party pressures, and just representing his district. Which he might be given how rural it is, but he clearly buckled to pressure here.
House Rules Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) also defended the GOP on the substance of the matter.
I am a Republican, he said. We do not discriminate we attempt to follow the law, and the gentleman knows that.
Having that attitude doesn't help. You can bet your ass when that congressman crosses old Republican ppl (that admittedly have nothing better to do) he hears it from them.
