Thread Name: BS: Popular views on McCain
Subject: RE: BS: Popular views on McCain
Now the bastard is saying women need more education and training in order to receive equal pay for equal work:

Senator John McCain opposed the Fair Pay Act—a bill that would help guarantee women equal pay for equal work. The bill simply would have restored critical anti-discrimination rules that the Supreme Court struck down in a recent decision, and failed by just three votes.

Adding insult to injury, McCain said that the solution to employment discrimination was for women to get more "education and training. Maybe that made some sense in his day, but today with women outnumbering men on college campuses, it makes none. Study after study has shown that women are paid less than men for the same work, even when they have the same education and training. Senator McCain and his Republican allies have chosen to stand in the way of enforcement of a law that's been on the books protecting women for 40 years.


He will be worse than Bush if he gets in. I don't trust him. I think he is unstable, a loose cannon, and would be more dangerous as he would actually be making decisions, himself, which could be worse than what Cheney has funnelled through the puppet.
