I'm glad you put this site together. Thank you. My senator's office had no explanation for his vote. I hope everyone calls theirs.

God !,
I spent 30 years in the Federal government and I have never seen any response this convoluted. I was not in DOD. Maybe that's why. US Forest Service people are normally expected to make rational and concise responses to higher HQ.
Oh, I just figured it out. The people at the top are there because of their proven ability to baffle with bullshit. Specifically to baffle Congress.
Until I can have my legal staff interpret this response I must withhold judgement as to whether the Pentagon is on the side of us Republicans for Rape.

They're opposing it based on the difficulty for the DoD to figure out who is forcing these clauses, rather than banning them outright. They are actually suggesting that it would be better instead to make them illegal within the United States period.

This site is disgusting. I find it hard to believe there are people who would actually stoop this low and sell their soul in order to score a cheap political point. To spread such falsehoods and attempt to dehumanize and demonize those with whom you disagree is not only cowardly, it's despicable. You WILL get your just reward, in this world or the next.

That was pretty convoluted, which is impressive considering. I can understand them saying they can't know about every case of sexual assault. Obviously that's true. Still, it's just not good enough to give that as an overall statement.

If you're not going to deal with the consequences of the cases you so clearly do know about; what makes you think anyone will believe you when you say you don't know?

This is a disgusting sewer site. You people deserve to be shot.

Bill,

This is your really lost conscience calling out to you from wherever you left me. I know it's been a long time since we got together, but now that newmedia exist and you have found me for a moment, let's talk.

Bill this site is intended to make 30 people who chose to protect a sick and disgusting Corporation from it's liability for a series of bad acts accountable. Bill, you remember when things used to be bad, before you just accepted things like salmonella in peanuts for profit, going to grade school kids lunch programs? Remember thinking that food was safe? Remember thinking Airliners got inspected? Remember thinking laws mattered and people were important?

Bill, you forgot all of those things because you have lost me. I am your conscience. I am that hope you have of finding your soul and being a human again. You can't shoot me Bill, I am your conscience. I am going to be with you as a record of your thoughts words and deeds all the way to judgment day. I will be with you, there, before God.

Bill, it is not too late to stop defending people who are pro-rape. These people are covering for war profiteers and corrupt bastards. Shoddy wiring by this KBR you love so much killed American Troops Bill. Why do you hate America so much? People who work for this KBR drugged, beat, gangraped and false imprisoned a 19 year old girl Bill. As your conscience, it is my duty to tell you that this site isn't sick, it is the things you support that have created it in response. You are what is sick Bill, you left your conscience alone too long.

Glad we could have this chat before you finished your short path through hatred to hell.

Oh, Bill? tell your hand to quit cheating on you.

You know who else would support this? Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffery Dahmer. I have an idea.. instead of just not giving rape victoms any justice.. lets do what you're fellow rapists did too and silence them by torture and murder. That's a good idea right?

You guys are fucken sick.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with government contracting practices, but the DoD make a very strong point here. It is nearly impossible to tell what a particular company's individual contracting practices are. A better move on Franken's part would have been to, as DoD suggested, make these types of contracts illegal. Franken's move, while well-intentioned is not something which can easily be put into action.

But, if it's easier to boil everything down to a Manichean choice of Good vs Evil, please feel free to continue this modern American form of "political discourse." I'm sure you and your kissing cousins in the Tea Party movement will have a good time further cheapening the term "democracy."

I think what that means is, for instance, if the DoD contracts with company A, which subcontracts to company B, which subcontracts to Halliburton, which requires its employees to waive their rights, you shouldn't punish company A by withholding their fees, maybe not even company B, but instead Congress should invalidate the employee agreement and let them sue Halliburton notwithstanding their waiver agreement. It's not unheard of for certain waivers of rights to be held to be unenforcable by statute.

If the Supreme Court rules in Jamie's favor, it will become the law of the land. This is really intended as a slap against Halliburton and KBR in the mean time while their appeal gets decided.

Now wait a gal darn minute. I'm TEXAS Republican. Every Friday night me and my buds bring a case of beer with us, find some nice girls, and go out rapin! It is our belief, here in TEXAS, that even if a lady has been raped, she should be forced to carry the baby to term! The fact that I'm a guy, and could never get pregnant does not mean I'm a hypocrite. It just means that I support life, big business, smaller government, and less laws against rape. We don't want the courts clogged with trivial rape law suits.

We in TEXAS think women were put on this planet to breed, and be concubines! It's our God given right to rape, because God made us more powerful than women. Didn't he? These thirty fine men are HEROES of the Grand Old Party!! We in TEXAS look up to Glenn Beck. If you search it, you will find that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a 19 year old girl. It's right there on that there Goggle thing.

@Bill,
Bill, I agree with you. There once was a time when people who thought there was something as important as profit; say, for instance; Truth, Honor, Duty, Love, Compassion. When there were those who quoted such silly shit as: "This is a nation of laws, not of men." "Give me liberty or give me death!" "Live free of die!" or even sillier shit like: "Love thy neighbor as thyself", or how about this one? this is a hoot: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Man, where could that guy have come from? He must have been some deflicted bedoin semite, maybe an Arab or a Jew. Anyway, now that all right thinking Americans have agreed to genuflect to Father Bill of Faux News and its demon spawn CNN/HNN, I think we can agree that what we are seeing is that those gumballs that used to think such ludicrous things are growing restive. Yeah, even unruly. As any student of human behavior and power politics will see, they are learning to fight fire wiith fire. Damn! Man, Dick and Don and Dubya really let us down, they could have had the US Army shooting liberals, instead they sent our Christian Soldiers off to where? I-fucking-RAQ! So now who's available to shoot liberals? Nasty Guard geese and PTSD victims of regular army units. Now, it's damn near hopless. Shit, Bill, we need to think of something.

@Bubba the Texan,
Sweet Jesus, Bubba, we're both Texans, and you are right with our Lord Jesus Christ, Man!
I didn't know my first Bud, Glenn Beck had raped and murdered a girl. I guess the rape was OK, but I kinda hate he murdered her. She might have been of some use to you and me. Of course, let's be realistic; in this swamp of liberal bleeding hearts and women voters, a live victim could be a real liability, especially if she has a Dad or big brother who is real big and mean.
My sister was told to "fuck or walk" on a couple occasions, her retort typically ran to the effect that she would walk, but, "When my big brother gets back from the war I'm gonna tell him what you said, and I would not give a nickel for your chance to live 'til dawn." Curiously that seemed to take much of the strach (so to speak) out of their jeans. He was my big brother too, and while I thought he was a fine human being with few vices, I had to agree that I would not give a nickle for their chances either. Not to suggest that he would not have been a good recruit for our RFR party, merely that he had a strongly proprietary attitude about his little sister - "mess with my Chevy, I'll break your legs, mess with my little sis, I'll pull your arms off and beat you to death with 'em."
See here's the real issue, Man: Where the hell did women get the idea that they could just go around on their own? The fundamentalist Muslims have the right idea. Make 'em wear big black wad of a bed clothes looking thing with no way that anyone can see their actual shape (and yeah, they're gonna wind up decoratin' their eyes like Cleopatra or the Queen of Sheba) but the main thing is that they can't leave the house without a male relative older than what the Jews call Bar Mitzfa. They sure as hell ain't going to work for KBR at some compound iin the desert miles from friends and family. Jesus, what the hell did they expect?
Long live the thirty Senators of Corporate Profits!, and rape on demand!

" unacceptable method of intercourse." -fixed

If any of these Repubs wanted to offer an admendment to deal with DoD's objections, they could have.

Anyone who thinks that this DoD argument and not the protection of their business friends is the real reason for the nay vote, needs to go back to school. Guns over women. What else is new? 10,000 years.
