The party of rape.

Rape of the land. Rape of your 401K. Rape of Iraq. The desire to rape Iran. Rape of you. Rape of the poor, the middle class. Government sanctioned trans-vaginal violations. It’s no big deal, if you’re a Republican or some other malevolent Talibangelical zealot.

Rape is as Republican as a bottle of 1987 Henri Jayer Richebourg Grand Cru Pinot Noir, Which if you have never heard of, you must not know a Koch Bros....(If you had to ask, you can't afford the $14,650 a bottle)

Remember Jamie Leigh Jones’s charge of drugging and gang rape by KBR co-workers and ensuing abuse at a Halliburton/KBR Green Zone location in Iraq?

When newly minted Sen. Al Franken proposed an amendment to our country’s dealing with outside contractors that would give a rape victim the right to file charges if raped by a fellow employee of such a contractor while in the service of that contractor, 30 US Senators voted NO.

Go ahead, process that for a moment.

Yes, the Senate has a pro-rape caucus.

Who had the audacity to take this right away from women employed by contractors to redress rape? Hint: The cretin who signed the original piece of paper removing this right to redress has the initials GWB.

For a century conservatives have followed a certain mindset; from fighting against voting rights for anyone who isn’t white and male to taking a stand against equal pay for equal work or even whether you should get work and in what field to telling you what you can do with your own body, mind, and soul.

Jeff "Angry Leprechaun" Sessions, who was such a gentleman when questioning Justice Sotomayor, called Franken's legislation "a political attack on Halliburton." That's what mattered to him. I know that if I had a daughter who worked for Sessions, or any of these throwbacks, she'd be carrying a handgun and starting to look for a new job.

Will the Senate’s pro-rape caucus grow-- think Akin (MO), Connie Mack (FL), Tommy Thompson (WI), Denny Rehberg (MT), Jeff Flake (AZ), Ted Cruz (TX), Josh Mandel (OH), Rick Berg (ND)? Probably.

War is the legalized rape of lands, of resources, of the people themselves. Is it any wonder the Republicans always feel the need to start wars, whether necessary or not. Bush legalized the rape of Iraq, now they desire Iran.

Republicans approach life with an Attila-the-Hun attitude.
Bank rape. Corporate rape. Rape of women. Twisting the law to rape… Now, they give us concepts of “forcible rape” and “legitimate rape." One thing’s for sure. It is the victim who must be punished, or, at least has no rights. I feel that we are only minutes away from some Republican somewhere spouting the words “permissible rape."
