Forget about him reversing Roe v Wade, lets cut to the chase here, How can any self respecting Female even consider casting a vote for a Man thats still stuck in the dark ages when it comes to Equal rights, Equal Pay for Women? The level of ignorance on such important issues is simply astounding to me personally. Maybe its because I have all sisters that I care and want to make a stand, but reading some of the posts submitted by “Females” makes me scratch my head in disbelief and wonder the thought process, or lack thereof, that goes into some of your choices?
“We have not done enough. And I’m committed to making sure that there’s equal pay for equal work. That there is equal opportunity in every aspect of our society. And that is my record and you can count on it.”
–John McCain, Town Hall meeting, Hudson, WI, July 11, 2008.
The Facts
Lilly Ledbetter was a Goodyear Tire employee who sued the company in 1998 after finding out that she was earning 40 percent less than male co-workers employed to do similar jobs. A federal judge in Birmingham, Ala, awarded her $360,000 in back pay, but the verdict was overturned on appeal. In May 2007, the Supreme Court ruled against Ledbetter in a 5-4 verdict. The justices ruled that employees who believe they have been discriminated against must file a complaint within 180 days with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The Ledbetter bill, which passed the House last year and is now languishing before the Senate, removes the 180-day deadline. Supporters of the bill claim that it is usually impractical to file a complaint within 180 days as most companies are very secretive about salary data, and it can take years to establish a pattern of discrimination.

DUH.. See the link above? THATS where your facts are. Read my entire post please before commenting, Thank You.
Janny, on behalf on my 3 sisters, I’d like to tell you, your point of view and opinion is completely ignorant and because you yourself are a Female, is shameful. But thanks for being honest
Reckless, please say your stupidity for children. My source came from “The Washington Post” newspaper, not a liberal blog. Grow a brain before trying to put someone down with distorted facts. Thank You

Yes, I do.
I am not voting for the chauvinist.
I wouldn’t vote for him even if he said everyone is equal. Never believe that man.
FACT: There are MORE Women on McCain’s staff than Obama’s AND they are paid BETTER than Obama’s female staff.
Obama is a chauvinist AND a racist.
Hate is an amazing emotion, it allows one to cut off their own nose to spite their face.
All the people on this question that is saying”do your research” Let’s agree to tell everyone that on both sides from here on out. ANY TAKERS.
Do female voters realize Islamic fascists want to imprison them and think stoning them to death is just punishment when they commit an alleged offense?
