The Republicans are still whining about the fact that mean old Al Franken made them vote in favor of rapists a few months back.
This from the party that has made a habit out of proposing resolutions designed solely to force Democrats to cast votes that can be easily misrepresented (or, to be fair, that force the Democrats to act like the cowards they are). Recall the vote to condemn Moveon. These types of votes have been the Republican’s stock in trade for years. Franken’s amendment at least had a legitimate legislative purpose, the Republicans’ resolutions typically have no legislative effect; they are designed purely to embarrass their opponents.
Like most bullies, the Republicans can’t take it when someone stands up to them, or subjects them to their own tactics. There’s a lesson here, which will of course be lost on folks like Harry Reid.
