Marco Rubio votes "NO" on Violence Against Women Act

[Stephanie]

Plus domestic violence monies going for sexual assault prevention. Oh Noes!

We'll help with the getting beat up part but for the rape part you're on your own.

It was a Republican that told us women's bodies shut down during rape.

They ALL need schooling about sexual assault. ASAP.

you might need to breath in a paper bag
my gawd, you people do think they have a magic money tree in the back of the white house

Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell all say........Just say YES about violence against women

I see you can't help but lie about the facts on this issue and why some Senators voted against it.

Repeated since you continue to lie about why they voted against the bill.

There are certain things that can be in a bill that will fuck up the main theme in one. Which, the "theme" is the main thing a majority probably pays attention to anyways. Why dont you dickhead liberals go read THE BILL instead of the title?

That would be too much to ask and ruin a good troll thread

What a complete strawman of a bill. Cometely insults the most simplistic intelligence. Violence is already against the law.

"... Specifically, this bill would mandate the diversion of a portion of funding from domestic violence programs to sexual assault programs, although there’s no evidence to suggest this shift will result in a greater number of convictions. These funding decisions should be left up to the state-based coalitions that understand local needs best, but instead this new legislation would put those decisions into the hands of distant Washington bureaucrats in the Department of Justice. Additionally, I have concerns regarding the conferring of criminal jurisdiction to some Indian tribal governments over all persons in Indian country, including non-Indians.

Dems bin Lying

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Yes, that seems to be a sticking point with several white Republicans. Sad...

Why is what he said "sad"?

Have you not been following this? Do your own research - but it is sad that crimes against Native American women have been "falling through the cracks" due to confusing jurisdiction...

I ask you a question. If it's too difficult for you just say so. No need to get all liberal and shit.

One would think so - but much violence against Native American women has been going unpunished.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Liberals have to lie, what are they going to do, talk about all the good Obama's done?

Oh yeah....let's not use Federal monies for sexual assault prevention - let's leave it to broke-ass states NOT to fund it! Republicans could care less about crybaby rape victims anyway.

Just don't abort....the embryo is rape victim evidence.

RW's are amazingly fakakta.

WASHINGTON -- The Senate easily passed its Violence Against Women Act reauthorization bill on Tuesday, officially punting the issue to the House, where Republican leaders still haven't signaled how they plan to proceed.

The bill passed 78 to 22. It already had 62 cosponsors, which ensured its passage, but it picked up additional support from a handful of Republicans who weren't already sponsoring it.

Senators who voted against the bill included Republicans John Barrasso (Wyo.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), John Boozman (Ark.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Cornyn (Texas), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Orrin Hatch (Utah), James Inhofe (Okla.), Mike Johanns (Neb.), Ron Johnson (Wisc.), Mike Lee (Utah), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Rand Paul (Ky.), Jim Risch (Idaho), Pat Roberts (Kansas), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Jeff Thune (S.D.) and Tim Scott (S.C.).

Rubio, who put out a statement on his VAWA stance Tuesday, will give the Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address later Tuesday evening.

When was the last time they passed any bill with out attaching a bunch of unrelated BS to it? I reserve Judgement until we know everything that was in the package, and not just the catchy nice sounding name they gave it.

That's a cold and unchristian thing to say - showing how little you know about this issue.

you and the troll just donate your paychecks, I'm sure they would appreciate all you care

 

[Crackerjaxon]

What nonsense. If everyone is equal in the eyes of the law, laws made to protect certain groups are wonderfully moronic.

Why not violence against lesbians carrying cats? Last I heard assault and battery was against the law no matter the perpetrator, no matter the victim.

WTF is wrong with democrats? Have they nothing better to do?

No, they aren't happy unless they are unhappy and bitching about something no matter what it is

WTF is sexual assault prevention? Do you honestly think throwing federal money at some silly program is going to prevent sexual assauts?

What do yo do with predators who don't know about the program?

That's a cold and unchristian thing to say - showing how little you know about this issue.

So suggesting that people stop attacking women is cold and unchristian? Last time I checked, the scriptures clearly taught not to hit women, or really anyone. So I can't agree with your conclusion that the Christian response would be violence towards women

Your suggestion that a law is passed, doesn't actually fix any problems. Because the law only goes into force to punish someone who already is violent towards a woman. The fact that someone is punished afterwards doesn't stop the crime from occuring to begin with. That's why changing hearts and minds is more powerful than merely passing a law outlawing something.

Changing oneself and others around you is much more powerful than passing a law in Washington.

The States are "Broke-@$$" because idiots keep encouraging the Federal Government to tax and spend, and then inflate our currency to pay off the debts they never should have taken. The States can't print their own money. Nor can they avoid the Federally mandated spending forced upon them.

The States would have more money with a stronger economy. Which we would have if the Federal government wasnt crippling it with taxes, spending, and inflation. Individuals would also have more money if they were allowed to keep the wealth they work for instead of pay 50% or more to the government. Then there would be alot more opportunities for the States and individual charities to take care of people and prevent such crimes.

But no, we have a bunch of people who want to thoughtlessly empower a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats in Washington who don't have their best interests at heart and can't possibly know all the nuances to the problems in their communities. The further power is from the people, the less effective and more corruptable it becomes.
