REPUBLICAN RAPE KIT

[shintao]

I thought Republican Rape Kit apty named the group that would allow women to be raped & sexually harrassed in the corporate world without equal justice and access to American laws. ~ Shintao


Senator Al Franken however, for introducing an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill that would punish contractors if they "restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court."

Franken's amendment ended up passing, 68-30. Here's a list of the Senators who showed broad support for Roman Polanski by voting against it:

2. Both Kansas senators?

Brownback is considering a run for governor. I hope this vote thwarts that run...

3. If there was any justice in this world

all of those assholes would be arrested, held in a shipping container, gang raped, and then told that they have no right to complain about their plight or even speak of it.

7. amen note that all are male, I did not say men

for they are not i wonder how many would cry for mama if you went up to them and pop em in the nose or if i did then tell them just what this fag thinks of them.

I have reasons that I will not discuss here for hating rapists and those who abet it.
