Guest,
I agree that the country is going to hell in a handmaid's basket. But if we are going to rail against it and really make a difference. We need to pick our battles. That is when we say something we need to say things which are true.
McCain's Spokes person was comparing men and women insured by the same company, working at similar workplaces. She was not taking aim at anybody's unit. She also was suggesting that McCain has a similar position to hers. But his voting record indicated that he liked the opposite position. When questioned about his position and awkward silence ensued.
The bill before Congress in question, which McCain voted against, was in reference to whether insurance companies should be required to pay for contraception if they pay for Viagra. The questions about family units, morality, all of that did not come up until you brought it up.
My opinion is, people are going to have sex. If they don't want kids, they should be required to have birth control. If a man hasn't had sex in a long time and Viagra can cure that, he has plenty of incentive to find the money for the pills. Save the insurance coverage for the heart attack he's going to have while he's on top of that hooker.
