Why did he vote against Senator Al Franken's amendment that would prevent the government from rewarding contracts to employers that force rape victims into binding arbitration? Why don't they deserve their day in court? Senator Thune explains.

  • wow he walks fast

  • well he isn't geting to be the next use leader.

  • he's handsome o_o

  • He's no Chris Christie.

  • @cat22203 oh that's no good

  • @Kazzzo he's actually up for reelection this November and is running unopposed ...oops sorry, I guess he's already won this "next time around"!!

  • @LibertaerUeberAlles You are a sexist idiot.

  • Just curious, how is it a contractor's fault that a woman can't keep herself from getting raped? We're talking about a war zone, after all. What the hell is she doing there in the first place?

    Also, if the contractor provides "special treatment" to the woman for the purpose of protecting her from rape, then can the contractor get sued for treating her unequally?

  • I never liked ambush interviews regardless of how much I disagreed with the point of view. That Thune and 29 other Republicans voted against this bill is inexcusable and shows how far to the right the GOP has moved in recent years.

    With that said, Thune handled the ambush adroitly, never showing any obvious signs of irritation and displaying a level of even temperament similar to Barack Obama's.

    It'll be interesting to see him and Ron Paul duke it out for the Republican nomination in '12.

  • none of this will matter due to the lousy state that the country will still be in 30 months from now. Much like how people overlooked Obama's numerous shortcomings, the people will overlook this when they elect him in a landslide over Obama.
