McKeating doesn’t care about women–look at the hack job he did picking a running mate. We didn’t just want a woman, we wanted a woman who had brains and the ability to do the job from the get go, not another pair of boobs that just looks good in front of the cameras. There were so many more-abled women(and men)he could have picked for the second most important position in the US. It speaks volumes on his ideas that women “just need more education.” It states that he couldn’t care less and that he is old and stale in his ideas of what is driving this country. McKeating will do whatever it takes to placate the voters into being on his side and once he’s in office (God Forbid!) it will be as if everything he promised never came from his mouth. (Until he dies in office and we have Caribou Barbie in charge.)
And equal pay for women? Phooey! He doesn’t think there is a problem with minimum wage.

The press has not given this matter nearly as much attention as this deserves. The whole Lilly Ledbetter situation should be a no-brainer. Yet McCain managed to find a lame reason to deny Ms. Ledbetter and many other women simple basic fairness.

If women knew about this, they would not be voting for McCain. So why has the press put this story in the obscured background?

Hmmm…I think I answered my own question.

“…numerous performance-based awards.”

You can’t put a dollar figure on those! Stop complaining.

How far did John McCain go with Mark Foley/Larry Craig?

Maybe we should cut ol’ Johnny a break on this one. It would be pretty hard to even understand anything about equal pay when you don’t know anyone that earns paycheck. Just baby steps with him him, then he can learn about dual income families.

NOLIESPLEASE:
Perhaps Cindy’s situation is why McCain thinks equal pay is unnecessary. Equal pay is not an issue when you inherit the family business and all its bounty. I’m sure John thinks she “earned” that and can’t understand why more people don’t follow in her footsteps.

Of course Johnie hates women…his dad helped him on his way when he was younger. His mom didn’t pack him any lunches in Vietnam when he went up on his flights.

Plus John Flub Flub thinks being married is a rental agreement. Palin’s put the “power of Christ” in him, alright…we just aren’t meant to see that part of it, yet.

What?!! I didn’t think John’s views on women could get more draconian.

Why would McCain care about equal pay???? Cindy has made a thousand times more in salery then john. Poor Jonny doesn’t realize the 99% of other women don’t get paid equally for doing the same job. But then again, Jonny boy thinks the fundementals of the economy is sound. YEA RIGHT!!!

If pay for men was based on education, McStain wouldn’t have been so quick to vote against minimum wage.

Then again, if education was a criteria for holding public office, McStain wouldn’t be voting on anything.

But he would certainly have appreciated that minimum wage raise. At McDonald’s.
