GOP version of VAWA aims to exclude
Posted: Apr 26, 2012
from protection under the law against battery, stalking and sexual abuse. Their fighting-fire-with-fire/dueling proposals strategy just might end up burning down that house-of-cards case they are trying to build to attract more women voters. It's not as though expanding the act is something new. Each time the act was reaffirmed, new specific categories were added as needed. The first time it was elderly and disabled women; the second time, female teens were included. Of course, this has not stopped GOP women pols from arguing AGAINST protecting these groups of women under VAWA. Special breed, those GOP feministas.
Violence is violence. Women are women. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Real Estate Tech Company Aims To ReplaceAug 07, 2017

REX Real Estate Exchange, which charges a selling commission of 2 percent instead of the usual 5 percent to 6 percent.

"Wrestlemania" SuperPAC Ad For Rand Paul Aims At R-candidates & ObamaMay 29, 2015
And the Tea Party wonders why public perception is that they are hostile, paranoid and have no loyalty to anyone but themselves. Apparently, not even to themselves, the ad took a shot at Ted Cruz as being a Patriot Act spy supporter , too? lol On second thought, now there's a wrestling match I'd like to see - Cruz vs. Paul. However, methinks it would end as it would with most big-mouthed brawlers - both would end up crying and running to their daddies;) http://www.washin ...
Trickle Down - Version 2.0Apr 14, 2011
As I have tired to explain before, one of the consequences of \"union busting\" is that wage and benefit slashing will happen at all levels of employment. Here is an example of the \"whittling\" away of wages in the private sector. Big tax breaks but no living wage. The wage might seem adequate to you, but you need to remember that these jobs are in a city where rent is probably $1,000 per month, with higher car insurance, heating and general cost of living. ...

Colorado Democrat: Women Don’t Need Guns If They ‘Feel Like They’re Going To Be Raped’ Chill, women, says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar says that even if women feel like they’re going to be raped, they may not, so who needs a firearm for protection? From Revealing Politics: Said Salazar: “It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t ...

Obamacare...The Short VersionDec 11, 2014
This summary was written by a Purdue engineer. Of the 2,400 pages of ACA, aka, ObamaCare legislation, it can be condensed to 4 sentences...... As humorous as this sounds... every last word of it is absolutely TRUE! 1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to uninsure the insured. 2. Next, we require the newly uninsured to be re-insured. 3. To re-insure the newly uninsured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured. 4. The extra charges are required so that the origi ...

Luke 12:40 - Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. i am a Christian, raised by a very strict religions mother. We were raised on the King James version (each has their own). I learned very young of the rapture at a Baptist church (ever seen the film, scare you?) I learned over the years to not worry, live life the best I can. I feel as long as I believe in Jesus everything will be okay, no matter what happens. My ...
Condensed Version Of Actual Mass Arrest, AndJan 31, 2012
I saw all of this unfold live - from beginning to end. This footage is condensed, but in no way retouched, other than some captions. It proves what I was saying earlier, and also proves that the mainstream media (bought & paid for by Big Biz, just like the Mayor of Oakland and the Oakland P.D.), is going out of its way to paint a completely different picture than what actually happened. Remember: You can no longer make judgements about ANYTHING that happens in this c ...
Financial Reform, Senate Version, Is Now Full Of LoopholesJun 30, 2010
They've gutted the House financial reform bill and Bernie Sanders if furious. It doesn't help the consumer. It doesn't do much more than what was already in place before the bailouts; i.e., why did they even bother? All they did was waste time. Please see articles below.
