"Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., a Native American, also wrote his Republican colleagues saying he was voting against the House alternative because “it falls short of giving tribes what they need to keep their women safe.”"
Anyone know if Cole is serious or just pulling the standard Republican tactic of spouting bullshit and voting their radically regressive party line?
Seriously? Your statement is too stupid to even respond to.
@4 The fact that it took this long for this to pass and that more than 1/2 of the Republican House voted against it will ensure that it is used in the 2014 elections and beyond.
And look who voted against it (in the Senate):
Marco Rubio and Rand Paul
I'd say that will come back to haunt the GOP if either is the nominee for president or vice president in 2016, against Clinton, Biden or anyone for that matter.
I think the Republican Party will finally split apart after their defeat in 2016.
Actually, this is a profoundly BAD bill (despite its universally-acceptable title).
The net is cast far too wide, including people who have limited legal standing in the US (illegal immigrants).
It probably includes a free green card with an (already criminal) beating.
Think about it, a Dumbocrat comes up with a bill called "the violence against cute little kittens act," wherein no mention of kittens occurs. Republicans vote against such act and later, get accused of voting FOR violence against cute little kitties, whereby the low information voters (as seen here on the Slog) lambaste the reasonable Republicans for not approving a bad bill.
From the context of the article it sounds like he was going to vote against the watered down bill the House Republicans were trying to push forward. I'm pretty sure the House just approved the Senate's version of the bill.
Does this mean that you think liberals talk a lot of "doublespeak" as George Orwell (Eric Blair) would call it?
Or does it mean that you acknowledge that George Orwell (Eric Blair) was a radical liberal and that you think he was full of BS?
Just curious. As someone who studied George Orwell (Eric Blair) I hate it when conservatives use his words to try to push their nonsensical philosophy, especially since George Orwell was such a left winger that he almost died fighting for the Socialists against the Falangists in Spain.
Just curious.
The rest of your post is just non-sensical jibberish, what George Orwell (Eric Blair) might call Doublespeak.

Oh well, I have complete confidence they'll find many, many other ways to alienate 99% of voters in the country.

That's all the Republicans know how to act these days.

Its Orwellian lib-BS.

What else is cuter than a kitten? Maybe a baby chick? Shoulda used that...
You thought wrong. I bet that happens a lot.
