Kit Bond voted against an amendment that would have removed federal funding for contractors that barred their employees from having their day in court in the case of a sexual assault or rape. I don't know if Bond's for rape, but he's all for making it more difficult for rape victims to seek redress.

And that's shameful.

Dude. Objectively Pro Rape. You said that a Missouri Senator was objectively for rape.

You don't get to weasel out of it attempting to explain how a vote on a piece of legislation in some ways could be analyzed as allowing forcible sexual assault. You were trying to be clever, and insinuate that Kit Bond approves of raping women.

Go ahead and defend that all you want. I'd suggest doing it in public as much as possible.

I have no problem defending what I said. Bond could have voted yes on a very simple amendment that helps rape victims. And he didn't. It's more important for Bond to make sure money goes toward these companies than making sure the criminals who rape and assault women get locked up.

"The amendment was offered after Jamie Leigh Jones, an employee of Kellogg, Brown & Root (formerly a subsidiary of Halliburton) was sexually assaulted by her co-workers in Iraq and then locked in a shipping crate when she tried to report the rape. Her return to the United States was facilitated by U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Tex., but upon her return, she learned that the fine print of her employment contract banned her from taking the case to court."

Keep going, Clark, Eric - whatever your name is.

You equate a vote on legislation as being for forcible sexual assault, which shows that you will do and say anything to smear your opponents.

That makes you a fraud worth exposing. Thank you for your help with that. From now you, your name will officially be Eric "Objectively Pro-Rape" Hoffpauir. I can make you some business cards to hand out if you'd like.
