Breaking News: The GOP Supports and Protects Rapists

In yet another sign that the GOP has completely sold out its last vestiges of humanity, 30 Republican Senators voted against a legislative action brought by Senator Al Franken:
To prohibit the use of funds for any Federal contract with Halliburton Company, KBR, Inc., any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, or any other contracting party if such contractor or a subcontractor at any tier under such contract requires that employees or independent contractors sign mandatory arbitration clauses regarding certain claims.
 Who are these 30 reprehensible special interest owned asshats?
NAYs ---30
Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Bond (R-MO)
Brownback (R-KS)
Bunning (R-KY)
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coburn (R-OK)
Cochran (R-MS)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
DeMint (R-SC)
Ensign (R-NV)
Enzi (R-WY)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Isakson (R-GA)
Johanns (R-NE)
Kyl (R-AZ)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Risch (R-ID)
Roberts (R-KS)
Sessions (R-AL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Thune (R-SD)
Vitter (R-LA)
Wicker (R-MS)
If any of these people represent you or your interests then please take a few minutes to register your outrage in their support of companies that want to get away with raping their employees and then preventing them from bringing legal action against them. This is beyond outrageous and ridiculousness.

At least one of this jackals has a daughter, John McCain, and I hope she raises hell and smacks her hate-based father square in his smarmy jowly face for working to support contractors like Halliburton. This legislation stems from an incredibly disgusting case where a Halliburton employee was gang-raped by her co-workers, locked in a container and forensic evidence destroyed.

Read that article and then compare it to the legislation voted against by those 30 Republican Senators and tell me there is any possible way they can defend their actions. There is no way to justify voting against this legislation. And these Senators deserve to be publicly humiliated by siding with rapists against common decency.

Never Let a Little Thing Like Reality Intrude on Your Politics

GOP Rep. Introduces Bill To Deny U.S. Funding For Nobel Winning IPCC Because Of Its ‘Junk Science’ only it isn't junk science at all and his refutation of the warming of the earth comes from a freakin' economist.

Dear Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), you are a moron pretending to be a congressional representative. You are misrepresenting a huge number of good scientists with an economist. You are engaged in a demonstrably false campaign for political reasons. You are part of the problem in denying the reality of climate change being a human-based responsibility. Please shut your yap hole and get out of the way so that honest people can get to work trying to fix the harm we've done to our planet before our planet makes us all extinct. Jackass.

Snarly Backs Stupid Over Honest for GOP Future

Cheney backs Limbaugh over Powell on GOP future which is to say, Dick Cheney is a narrow-minded dumbfucking idiot who prefers the company of other narrow-minded dumbfucking idiots over a thoughtful, honest and popular man.

The further afield that Cheney, Lord Rush, Joe the Asshole Plumber and Newt lead the GOP, the better. It makes it easier to get real work done while the GOP further marginalizes itself and displays what a thoroughly hate-based philosophy they are clinging to.

More Republican Rats Show Their True Colors

Jonah Goldberg: I want Obama to fail just like Rush Limbaugh and numerous others despite the fact that failure means our country is in even worse shape than it already is.

Despite the fact that if a Democrat had said that they wanted Bush to fail, the GOP would have gone into hysterics, despite the fact that calling for a president to fail is akin to betraying the American trust.

Despite all of this, the GOP wants Barack Obama to fail in his quest to rebuild our country.

The GOP is the party of hypocrisy, stupidity, racism and fat white guys who already have a crapload of money and don't care about anyone but themselves.
