First the GOP supports a bunch of dotty old men who know nothing about human sexuality because of an obscene vow of chastity, often resulting in pedophilia. Now they don’t care if women are victims of violence. I swear the GOP has fallen off a cliff!

Even though I am a Democrat, I think it is important for minority voices to be heard. I think it is important for all views of an issue to be aired in the public forum. We need more than one political party for that to happen.  I want the GOP to be a worthy adversary, not the clown show it is rapidly becoming.

The latest suicide attempt by the GOP was to allow the extension of the Violence Against Women to pass out of the Senate Judiciary committee without any GOP support.  This bill has enjoyed bipartisan support since it was first introduced by now Vice President Joe Biden .

A quote from the linked article: “The Republican-led objections are starting to sound a lot like those swirling around the birth-control mandate. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is leading the charge against reauthorization over provisions that offer protections to domestic abuse victims that happen to be LGBT or undocumented immigrants.”

So now they are pissing away the votes of women, Latinos, and the LGBT community. I guess only uneducated, illiterate, angry white men need apply to be members of the GOP.
