House GOP Lets Violence Against Women Act Die Without A Vote

Jan 02, 2013 19:28

WASHINGTON -- Despite a late-stage intervention by Vice President Joe Biden, House Republican leaders failed to advance the 2012 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, an embattled bill that would have extended domestic violence protections to 30 million LGBT individuals, undocumented immigrants and Native American women.

( WTF are they doing?! )

I heard women referred to by a right-wing politician as a "minority group".

Now if this hadn't been so sad, I would have laughed.

That's accurate though.

It's sad that I'm just not surprised anymore.

Pretty much my reaction, too. I'm so exhausted from their sheer hatred of anything that doesn't resemble their own mirrored image.

Yep.
