If you have not guessed by now, I am a left-leaning centrist. Many times you will see me agree with Democrats on one issue and with Republicans on another. Raised in a family of ultra-conservative, born-again Christians, I am clearly the political thinking rebel with somewhat of a cause. I often poke fun at politicians in my top 10 lists and articles. Sometimes, a simple cartoon or video says it all. With that said.
WTH? Thirty Republicans voted against an "Anti-Rape" law. No wonder sexual harassment cases run rampant in this country. Arrogance and misguided loyalty muck up the works of otherwise decent corporations and politicians. Maybe they were not paying close attention and thought Franken said "Anti-Rap" law. Maybe they have greasy palms from too much handshaking with greedy, corrupt and misogynistic corporations.
At what point do these guys say enough? How far are they going to allow these corporations and their lobbyists to put them into these positions? Maybe, when the money runs out in post-apocalyptic America.
Women are valuable resources and it is a sad state of affairs when Republican politicians espouse these type of views. I know my conservative Republican Father doesn't agree with this. I say it's time Republicans-in-hiding finally take a stand. I think "Anti-Rape" legislation might be a good place to start.
