They shouldn't even be able to feed on themselves. They should starve. This is a very sad statement when it comes to the Grand White Party.
the biker gangs take the choice cuts
and roast them
but they give the guts, gonads taints and arse*s
raw to the thirty starving senators
the 29 starving senators
...
Maybe, just maybe if they are forced to eat their own guts, gonads, taints and arses I'd agree with you. Just the fact that they are allowed to even feast on something that resembles food is to good for them. They can eat in hell. And that's where they're headed.
yall need to chill the fuc out ok..
Thats some sic shit
For how funny Jon makes this it's truly telling when it comes to Grand White Party. This bill should have been a no brainer. Protect women from being raped by employers. How much simpler can that last sentence be. Let me say it again. PROTECT WOMEN FROM BEING RAPED BY THEIR EMPLOYER. Thirty old white conservatives voted NAY to protect women from being raped from government funded companies. RAPE you old fucks. RAPE! How much simpler can a bill be? This is disgusting. This should be a campaign issue until all thirty of these freaks are gone from office. If any woman votes for any of these thirty guys they should be forced to work for Haliburton and raped. Sorry, had to be said. This one pisses me off.

I wonder how these assholes would feel if it was their daughter/sister/wife had been raped by a government contractor, then wasn't allowed to sue?
IOKIYAR.
(It's OK if you're a rapist)
...they were just too busy investigating ACORN.
It's no coincidence that these morally bankrupt freaks all come from the most backward, bible thumpin', poverty ridden states in the nation
They are just playing to the populace.
Yeah, there they are; the Dumbtastic Duo of AZ.
Jon Kyl - with his 100% score from "Focus on the Family," because - you know; rape is such a family value.
And Shameful McCain, whose sentimental pet name for his wife is "****" and who put his "Country First" by placing dimwitted nutjob Bible Spice one eighty-year-old heartbeat from the position of POTUS!
The idiot population in AZ is slowly being thinned out by immigrants from the Left Coast, urban Great Lakes and New England.
But not fast enough.
between 'Thugs and Dems...
I beg to differ.
These people and the MIC contractors who keep them in Congress and then steal billions of taxpayer dollars, and send our sons/daughters off to stupid wars have been raping the whole country for years!!!
I am saving that list for future reference.
This is the face we present to the world? We have the hubris to lecture any other country about the way they treat women and here is this silly, old, insulated, fuck protecting a company over a citizen? This man is not my senator, but, I'm seriously pissed that my hard-earned money goes to pay this wanker's salary. This company electrocutes our soldiers and allows it's own employees to be gang-raped (what's the disincentive?)and it is continuing to be protected and insulated by the U.S. Senate. Good to know who's the enemy here.
even if you are in a contract , if a CRIME is commited then that contract would be null and void . No way anyone ( short of killing me ) would ever force me to not bring this to court or at least shout out the truth by whatever means possible .
When these senators get that call from their concerned constituent (in this case Halliburton) and are told to do something truly gut-wrenchingly awful, (in this case, defend gang-rape) do you think they go:
A. Geez, I dunno, thats pretty bad, do I hafta?
or
B. You got it!
I mean, do you think there is any humanity left in these people that some of them may recognize how bad they're being sometimes and balk just a little before of course acquiescing, or is it, 'sold my soul a long time ago, no need to get squeamish about it now!'
Have no shame.
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
I asked the same thing. I can't for the life of me figure these people out. While I agree they are despicable people...they do these things and make these decisions with something in mind but I don't get it. I guess that's why I'm not a republican.
It's not difficult to figure. They believe that our tax money that goes to KBR should not be jeopardized, even if KBR employees commit violent sex crimes. Or even if they "accidently" cause the deaths of US soldiers. KBR's entitlement to our tax money supercedes the rights of any one of it's employees. It's blatantly illegal, but they (KBR and the senators) are above the law. Just ask them. Laws are for us little folks. They live in a different world. If you challenge it, they will deride you as being unpatriotic to the war efforts. You cannot argue with a sick mind. These people are sick with greed.
FEAR.
Yup. All kinds of fear. In this case, the fear that if the benevolent KBR is cut out of government contracts, we will be overun by islamic radicals who will cut off our heads.
I'd like to think some of them know what they're doing is wrong, but they sold out so deep and so long ago they have no choice, so their guts twist and knot in guilt as they're forced to vomit up these bilious positions publicly.
He evens explains it so a Republitard Moran can understand.
How a grown man can even begin to try to justify not supporting this legislation is entirely beyond me unless I think the worst possible thoughts about them.
Stop digging. You're about to reach the earths core.
.
The system promotes rape on every level, literal and metaphorical. This is why the war in Afghanistan is so futile. No one is empowering the women. They are only starving the beast.
For the video, from The Comedy Network, is HERE.
Your link is much appreciated. Canucks everywhere salute you!
A big thank you to Jon Stewart and Al Franken for their efforts in trying to right this terrible wrong. Well done, sirs!
...TDS didn't even have to work too hard to dig up this material. If only this were done AS IS on an MSM stations evening "News"
There are no words to describe how fucking pissed off this makes me. Rape. Jesus. Maybe if any of these asswipes ever get raped they would know.
I'm emailing Cornyn right fucking now. Jesus.
I am not sure how many of these Senators are up for re-election, but they should have ads ran against them.
paybacks would be getting fraged
I know this was meant to be funny, but it wasn't. I just pissed me off even more.
If it was their daughter who was raped...
I wonder why no female Senators voted against it?
go figure, Jethro.
and what ever happened to PFC Laverna Johnson ( hope thats the right name ) the one who was raped , beaten to death , had acid poured on her and set on fire , the case the US Army ruled a suicide , move along nothing to see here .
Whoever is writing the book on what a lunatic asylum the Republican party has become need to get this incident in. The party of family values has become the party of rape values which, oddly enough, is -- quite symbolic and true actually.
Republithugs believe MEN, at least white, evangelical pretenders of Christianity, have a GOD GIVEN RIGHT to have SEX whenever they want with whomever they want and that WOMEN have a GOD GIVEN DUTY to comply. They also believe WOMEN have a GOD GIVEN RIGHT to be beaten into submission if they do NOT comply. WOMEN also have a GOD GIVEN duty to walk one step behind their MEN and WAIT for their ORDERS!
if you're a corporation.
Support corporate rape, vote Republican.
Despite the 30 GOP thugs who voted against this, the amendment DID pass. Now the question is - who's going to review the contracts and de-fund all the Hallaburton, KBR's who have this in their requirements. It's one thing to have the law - but it still has to be enforced. And we should be screaming for enforcment!
Corruption.
In Cheney's case it appears that his excessive compensation from Halliburton is really just a payoff for his thirty years in government pushing an extreme right-wing pro-corporate, anti-middle class, anti-environment, and anti-government agenda.
There are also the issues of Halliburton's bad behavior while Cheney was running the company. Halliburton was accused of cooking the books with the help of Author Anderson, paying bribes, human rights violations, dubious dealings with Saddam and Iraq, bad business deals resulting in negative net income and job layoffs, and doubling its political contributions with almost all that money going to Republicans
We'll never have change if we keep voting the same greedy, corrupt swine into office.
Helping each other, sharing for the common good isn't communism-it's community.

And it's why "we the people" will never be able to look to government to solve our problems.
Many of the people elected to represent us have no desire to do so. They simply serve the monied interests.
Corrupt, hypocritical, amoral. Take care of your neighbors and loved ones. Government won't do it for you, nor will it help you when you need it most.
