Speaking at a reception at his official residence in Washington to mark the 19th anniversary of the law’s passage, Mr. Biden told guests he was “stunned” that House Republicans put up a months-long battle over reauthorizing the "violence against women" law earlier this year. The GOP had reservations about new protections for Indians, gays and others.
Warning the audience that he was “going to say something outrageous,” Mr. Biden said the legislation was stalled by “this Neanderthal crowd” in the House.
“I think I understand the Senate better than any man or women who’s ever served in there, and I think I understand the House,” he said. “I was surprised this last time. … The idea we still had to fight? We had to fight to reauthorize?”
Mr. Biden championed the original law when he was a senator from Delaware. He when said he started writing the law in the early 1990s, “I didn’t ask for staff help, I didn’t ask for any help, I was so God darn — gosh darn mad.”
Not to worry.....most of the women already vote Democrat....even some of the Republican women.

Interesting signature. That must be a really small church you attend.

I'm agnostic.....I don't know and you don't either. One thing I do know. If there's anything out there all of us will be treated equally and not just one bunch of egotistical ass holes floating on gossamer wings while the rest of us burn on an eternal rotisserie because we disagree with them.

The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) is a United States federal law (Title IV, sec. 40001-40703 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, H.R. 3355) signed as Pub.L. 103–322 by President Bill Clinton on September 13, 1994. The Act provides $1.6 billion toward investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against women, imposes automatic and mandatory restitution on those convicted, and allows civil redress in cases prosecutors chose to leave unprosecuted. The Act also establishes the Office on Violence Against Women within the Department of Justice. Its coverage extends to male victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.[1]

Why is the Federal government involved in this in the first place? Why are my tax dollars being spent at the Federal level on a program for which no Federal law has been broken? If Illinois needs a program like this, let Illinois taxpayers fund it. We're so messed up.

Yes your state level is so messed up, that is why the feds have to step in.. time and time again. The fact that this law was needed shows that at state level there was problems getting domestic violence prosecuted let alone investigated.
So Biden was 100% correct.. the GOP are morons and cave men when it comes to womens issues... and that comes from the conservative (brain-dead) ways and the pressure from the religious right who dont like having women as equals.
Alternative headline. "Idiot uses Neanderthal in a Sentence."
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a landmark piece of legislation that sought to improve criminal justice and community-based responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in the United States. The passage of VAWA in 1994, and its reauthorization in 2000 and 2005, has changed the landscape for victims who once suffered in silence. Victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking have been able to access services, and a new generation of families and justice system professionals has come to understand that domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking are crimes that our society will not tolerate. VAWA is currently scheduled for reauthorization in 2010. Hearings and briefings were underway in mid-2009 for the reauthorization effort which falls under Commerce, Justice and Science, and Labor, Health and Human Services and Education committees.
