Well, the Violence Against Women Act has died in the GOP controlled House of Representatives.  Why was the inclusion of lesbians, immigrants – legal or otherwise, and native Americans so offensive to these people?  Now millions of women will be beaten, in danger, probably some will die because of ideology.  How is this a controversial bill?  Putting aside for a moment the fact these people seem to have small, shriveled hearts, who would they not approve this in their own self-interest?  They got creamed with women voters this cycle, but they continue the attack on women’s heath, fair pay and safety.  The Republican party used to be a real political party.  Now they seem to be a religion based party without empathy or compassion.  Which is pretty ironic when you think about it.
