Louisiana Young Dems: 'We Can Only Guess' Why Vitter Is Opposed To Anti-Rape Law
The Young Democrats of Louisiana have sent out a new e-mail against Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) -- the staunch social conservative who was implicated in a prostitution scandal -- declaring that we can only guess at his motivations for opposing legislation to crack down on rape.

The letter blasts Vitter for voting against the amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill by Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), which will guarantee employees of military contractors access to the court system if they are sexually assaulted:

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate passed an Amendment to make sure taxpayer-funded government contractors cannot deny rape victims a day in court. For reasons only he knows, David Vitter voted against ensuring women have the right to seek justice.

Since David Vitter has not publicly stated why he is opposed to making sure women who are raped or sexually assaulted can pursue their attackers, we can only guess his motivations.

However, it is clear that Vitter regularly votes against the best interests of women.

1. he hates women.
by the way, what is the psychological explanation for his soiled diaper fetish? and why is it that that particular aspect of his association with prostitutes is no longer being mentioned?

2. Conservatives think only straight white males deserve any rights
No wonder they look back so fondly on the 1950s.

3. DU was more worried about the moon bomb apparently, or dissing Obama for his Nobel prize
