John McCain's Record on Equal Pay

[StoogeWatcher]

You know, liberal hypocriteS, Obama paid his female staffers 83 cents for every dollar his male staffers were paid. On the other hand, McCain paid the women $1.04 for every dollar the men made.

McCain was right not to support the faulty legislation; It needed to be returned to committe and better legistlation drafted to address the statute of limitation issue in the 1964 Civil Rights Act

The Lily Ledbetter Equal Pay Act wasn't about equal pay at all. The Act modified the Civil Rights Act statute of limitations, the time limit for suing for pay discrimination. Ledbetter's lawsuit failed because she filed her lawsuit after the stat. of limit. had expired. I certainly believe the stat. of limit. duration needs to be extended but the legislation proposed ELIMINATING the stat. of limit. altogether. That is bad law. The cause was worthy but the legislation was faulty.

At :40, while McCain is talking about Ledbetter to that crowd, he cold calls on a little girl to respond to his comments there.

John McCain is a typical Republican. He supports the interests of big business and is a warmonger. It's really that simple.

Big business wants cheap labor, so John McCain wants cheap labor too.
