Pigs at the trough

Chauvinists Pigs ~ BevnTempe

I’m sure you’ve already read about this, but I just have to bring it up.  Seriously, what is it about Republicans?  We all know they’re the party of no, they don’t like Obama, they sometimes demonstrate racist traits, some are rude, and often they’re just plain stupid.  Now it’s obvious that 30 senators just don’t like women.  Thank goodness, 69 members of the Senate has voted in favor of Sen. Al Franken’s amendment to the 2010 Defense Appropriations bill that gives the government the right to withhold defense contracts (no small cash loans, either) from companies like Halliburton/KBR (not just that company) that deny employees from taking “workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court,” according to Think Progress.

Our most Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) called it “a political attack directed at Halliburton.”  Those southern boys are from another time and place.   Of course, money is more important.  I wonder how he would feel if it were his daughter in the position of Jamie Leigh Burns.  It’s hard to believe that women senators/representatives are not embarrassed to be in the same party as the names below.  As “prize” for their vote against this amendment, they should all be forced to have a mammogram on their nuts.

For the record, here are the 30 who voted against the Franken amendment:

• Alexander (R-TN)
• Barrasso (R-WY)
