This post is not to say that the democrats are without their problems. Clearly they have their problems and corruptions as well, but this just kind of amused me.
Not too long ago there were many a republican senator on the floor complaining about how we need to cut off funding to ACORN after those ugly videos of them giving illegal tax advice to strippers/hookers and giving other advice to would be pimps. I agree that ACORN needs to be shredded and the funding cut. However, Al Franken puts up an amendment to a bill that would cut off funding to any US contractor that forces their employees to sign an agreement saying that they will not sue if the are sexually assaulted on the job and these same senators are now against the bill saying that we should not be involving ourselves with the inner workings of these companies.
The case came from a woman that worked for a US contractor Halliburton in Iraq. She was basically drugged then gang raped by her fellow employees while on the job.
Franken put the amendment to the defense spending bill up that would stop ?the Defense Department from contracting with companies that require employees to resolve sexual assault allegations and other claims through arbitration?
It passed 68-30. All 30 no votes were republicans. Many of whom are the same guys who railed against ACORN.
So to recap. In the republican party it is not okay to give money to people give bad/illegal tax advice to hookers/strippers, but it is okay to give money to companies that force their employees to sign a contract stating that if you get raped by a fellow employee you can't sue them. Interesting.
