Democrats on way to securing female vote in 2014
Did these congressional leaders--Reps. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Steve King (Iowa), Bill Cassidy (La.), John Fleming (La.), Justin Amash (Mich.), Michele Bachmann (Minn.) Kristi Noem (S.D.), Paul Broun (Ga.), Tom Price (Ga.), Phil Gingrey (Ga.), Jack Kingston (Ga.), Austin Scott (Ga.) and Tim Graves (Ga.)--actually vote against a bill designed to prevent violence against women? These 13 represent a majority of the 2014 potential Senate Republican candidates. Yes, the group even included former presidential candidate from Minnesota, Michele Bachmann, who barely squeaked through in 2012. Am I wrong or is she a female? The dirty 13 blamed it on provisions related to the LGBT community, Native Americans and immigrants.
Well, they can blame it on whatever they want because the bill passed anyway, but it certainly has fired up Senate Dems to go after those seats next year.
