Passage of VAWA in the Senate, or "how many R words can Lori think of"

Thankfully, today the Senate passed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

31 senators voted against it. That is, 31 senators voted no on a piece of legislation that has historically been bipartisan and uncontroversial.

Yup. The usual suspects. All these senators voted no on the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act today. Just so we're clear, the reason they voted no is because it included protection for EVERYONE.

Their opinion was that you shouldn't be arrested or prosecuted for beating the living shit out of an illegal immigrant, a gay person, or a Native American.

I believe that it's not ok to beat the living shit out of ANYONE.

Yes, even those douchebag senators below, who likely most deserve it.

House? On to you. Please pass this unanimously. I can't come up with any other R words to describe you.

ETA: Dammit. I checked at least a brazillion times, but hubby found a duplicate. So now I declare that Inhofe is a revisionist.
