Groan

Just in from the House vote on c-span, the Scott (D-Va) amendment to the job training bill going through the house, which would have struck down the language making it legal for faith based organizations receiving federal funds to hire based on whatever qualities they deem appropriate, including religious beliefs, was not passed. The vote was pretty much along party lines.

We live in a theocracy.

Then an amendment proposed by Rep. Kildee (D-Mich) to give more job training to veterans of the current war and people who have lost their jobs to outsourcing was shot down by a Republican as "a cruel hoax" because the program would probably take a couple years to set up and not offer immediate benefits.

Remember, Republicans hate our troops, Democrats support them.
