In reply to the discussion: House GOP blocks Violence Against Women Act [View all]ReRe

...because they support the rapers/assaulters. And of course, Patti Murray will have to slap a new number on it and resubmit it in the Senate and get it rolling again in the 113th Congress. And she will. And THEN, if Speaker Cantor (I assume he will be swept into Speakership) won't let it come to a vote, every female Democrat needs to stand on the corners of his district in NC and make a BIG NOISE. If he won't let the VAWA come to a vote, then he himself is a raper/assaulter of women everywhere!
