Why did the democrats stuff this legislation into another bill?
...are there laws that already deal with this? The "specific" issue of allowing funding to go to a govt. contractor which will not allow an employee to file charges against gang rape?
Since when was Jon Steward a person to be taken seriously? Even he himself calls his show comedy only.
So take the list of names who voted against the amendment that would punish defense contractors if they restrict their employees from taking workplace rape cases (among other things) to court. Take the actions of those Senators seriously.
Because it's aimed at the companies who get defense appropriations. Did you watch the video or read the article?
Of course not. It doesn't make Obama look bad so it's not important.
This whole thing was awful; just like the Democrats who voted against stopping funding for Acorn.
If people would pay as much attention to what elected officials are doing as they do to what entertainers are doing then we could get people like this out of office.
Studies show that people who get their news from Stewart/Colbert are better informed than those who watch Fox, for example.
