http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/defa... Sen. John McCain, at a 5/7/08 town hall event in Michigan, singled out a girl wearing a t-shirt critical of him and challenged her to ask him a question. She asked about the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would have corrected the Supreme Court's destructive ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear: "I was wondering Senator McCain why you had the opportunity to vote to give equal rights to women equal pay [but] you didn't show up to vote and you said that if you did you wouldn't support it."
"This question should be on the minds of millions of working women who may face pay discrimination during their careers," said Kathryn Kolbert, president of People For the American Way. "Senator McCain had the perfect opportunity to embrace equal pay for equal work, but he instead parroted talking points fed to him by corporate lobbyists. It's pretty clear from his response that he's more concerned about the rights of big corporations than those of everyday Americans."

the girl that ask the question is my best friend, Hayley. her and her family are the nicest family anyone will EVER meet in thier entire life! she is soooo intelligent. i was so proud of her when i seen her on the news. she had a damn good reason to ask that question, and a damn good question at that! and i wasn't suprised when he did'n't even answer the question..... when does he answer a question? but Hayley deserves a standing applause!:) GO HAYLEY!!!!!:)***
god your an idiot. OMG shes like my bestest friend so she is awesome!!! grow a brain and maybe you will realize that he did answer the question. you can't simplify a bill like she tried to do. bills get disguised all the time as being for women's rights, or minority rights, or for poor people, when all they do is empower special interest groups. mccain saw that this would help trial lawyers (the scum of the earth) and voted against it.
thats right....he was(is) against -women-equal pay,against birth control pills,and palin she is just plain evil......see raped women pay for their own rape kits,rape victims forced to bear their attackers child,thank God for Obama/ Biden
I have to agree with you.. Seems like a good answer. Particularly considering that the girl who asked the question had simply interpreted the law he didn't vote for as one that gave equal rights to women when it appears that there was no such vote. If they are both referring to the same bill then mccain has given good reasons why he didn't support it. I support Obama all the way but Mccain is still a decent man. Don't be blinded by ur support people!
