Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell rolls back protections for gay state workers.

[Swede]

Repulicans showing their true feelings.

Gay and lesbian state workers in Virginia are no longer specifically protected against discrimination, thanks to a little-noticed change made by new Gov. Bob McDonnell.

McDonnell (R) on Feb. 5 signed an executive order that prohibits discrimination "on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, political affiliation, or against otherwise qualified persons with disabilities," as well as veterans.

It rescinds the order that Gov. Tim Kaine signed Jan. 14, 2006 as one of his first actions. After promising a "fair and inclusive" administration in his inaugural address, Kaine (D) added veterans to the non-discrimination policy - and sexual orientation.

3. I saw this coming

But thanks to the"independent" voters, this is what we're stuck with for the next 4 years. Not saying that Deeds ran a great campaign, he didn't, but people like McDonnell never change their stripes, they put on a good act to fool the idiots who will buy into the charade.

So, in this case does "independent voter" mean brain dead fuck?
