Did you catch Tim Kaine's new video, supposedly about the progress the Democratic Party is making on LGBT issues? Like a lot of what comes out of official Democratic Party channels these days, it's simply unbelievable. Not amazing, exciting, or surprising, but literally not believable.

Most notable is Kaine's assertion that Democrats are "working hard" to pass ENDA. Really? Current whip counts (our own) show that there's more than enough support to pass ENDA in the House at least, but despite this well-known reality, it's delayed, and delayed, and delayed, until it seems it has once again fallen off the calendar entirely. Even more ridiculous is Kaine's statement that "LGBT equality can't be achieved overnight." Has this guy been living in the same country or even on the same planet as the rest of us for the last four or five decades?
