5. Congrats to Al! Wow, that was fast! He's really proving his mettle.
I just knew he would be a ball of fire in the Senate (and a voice of reason at the same time). He's so good, so good, so good...

6. Ours - Sen Burr - campained on women's rights and funding for breast cancer treatment
which any intelligent person in NC - yes there are a few of us - knew was bullshit. So I'm not surprised he voted like this - but I am disgusted by it. :puke:

16. I was looking for any female republicons on
list and didn't see any.

Saw a "crapo", though..I did not know there was actually a republican with the legal name of "crapo"..they're all crapos really.

Noticed ensign voted no..he has a lot of nerve.

18. Please tell me which bill and a summary, my puter crashed and
I've spent the past 72 hours trying to isolate the problem, nearly non-stop.

Of course the first place I return to catch up on news is here, but I'm so bone tired, I got no idea what Franken was proposing in the amendment.

19. From article:
Credit new Senator Al Franken however, for introducing an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill that would punish contractors if they "restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court." You'd think that this would be a no-brainer, actually, but that didn't stop Jeff Sessions from labeling Franken's effort a "political attack directed at Halliburton." Franken, of course, pointed out that his amendment would apply broadly, to all contractors, because otherwise, 'twould be a bill of attainder, right? Right?

68 senators said aye. Not so much the Pro-Rape crowd.

29. Not surprisingly the anti-American Chamber of Commerce also supports rape.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/scorecard/1009/Tough_vote_for_Vitter_Burr.html?showall

Republicans point out that the amendment was opposed by a host of business interests, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce...

30. So the vast majority of republican senators voted against the amendment? wow!
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 09:41 PM by mucifer
How can they defend that?

What were their speeches like on the floor of the senate defending rape and false imprisonment?

36. So, how many of these guys have raped women in the past, you think?
To vote against the Franken bill is nasty as can be... and its fitting, they're all highly conservative white men - and a dozen of 'em are borderline senile or early alzheimer - Bunning couldn't drive his way home from DC and his constituents know it.

1. Repukes
2. Males
3. White

They wonder why their subspecies is on the endangered list.

45. ..."Our country is facing rising unemployment,
a record federal debt and and more government spending than at any point in history. Yet, the Democrats are talking about Halliburton." National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Brian Walsh said.

I guess I missed something - I thought this amendment was about sexual assault.
