      <![CDATA[Oh he's there with gast, John R!<br>
<br>
Granted there is a lot of drama in the titling of ANY bill, the fact is in this case (from what I gather) it appears to be quite accurate (other than it includes men)! That being said, from one who once made his living "spinning" realities, it does sound like Duncan is setting up his excuse for denying this bill, even before he actually reads it!

      <![CDATA[Sometimes the headlines of the posts here are not exactly accurate, but in this case it's more accurate than the post. Of course Duncan - or anyone else - doesn't think violence against women is American as apple pie.

      <![CDATA[So, Betsy has now telegraphed that is she is perfectly prepared to go apeshit crazy on Duncan for being a he-man woman-hater if he votes against the bill for precisely the reasons he alludes to in his comments. Since a lot of the really, really bad pork that everyone complains about gets stuffed into bills with innocuous sounding titles, he's actually going to read the bill to determine if it really will do what it says without being used as a vehicle for more pork barrel spending.
