ya see...if this was a dem bill and the gop rejected it....you'd be screaming they were misogynist and advocates of violence against women.this f**king country is warped.The GOP did reject it.The House version gutted the bill that passed overwhelmingly in the Senate (78-22), so that's why The Senate Dems are rejecting the House version.The GOP’s version of VAWA should be called the Defense of Violence Against Women Act, at least for Native American women and members of the LGBT Community.The VAWA has always been a non-partisan issue.It was first passed in 1994, then re-authorized in 2000 and 2005.Nothing is ever non-partisan anymore, thanks to the teabaggers.
