GOP – out of touch with decency
Privately, GOP sources acknowledge that they failed to anticipate the political consequences of a “no” vote on the amendment.
and what amendment was this, some minor bit of housekeeping? Nope, it was the Franken amendment, the one that would have made it possible to prosecute government contractors for rape and was prompted by the gang rape of a KBR employee.
More on the lack of sensitivity and common decency from the anti-empathy party:

KBR: unremitting never ending criminal murderous stupid
Defense contractor KBR may have exposed as many as 100,000 people, including US troops, to cancer-causing toxins by burning waste in open-air pits in Iraq, says a series of class-action lawsuits filed against the company.
Pretty bad, a Cheney crony/contractor showing standard level of contempt for humanity and everything else that lives on this planet. Well, it gets a whole lot worse;
According to one of the lawsuits (PDF), filed in a federal court in Nashville, KBR burned “tires, lithium batteries … biohazard materials (including human corpses), medical supplies (including those used during smallpox inoculations), paints, solvents, asbestos insulation, items containing pesticides, polyvinyl chloride pipes, animal carcasses, dangerous chemicals, and hundreds of thousands of plastic water bottles.”
