Do Wisconsin Women Matter to John McCain?

By Robert - Jun 13th, 2008 at 11:19 am EDT

Also listed in: Wisconsin Women Matter

Watch John McCain tell a 14-year-old girl that she doesn't deserve equal pay.

McCain seems to think that women don't need equal pay protection, they need "more education and training." Check out the video below to hear Sen. McCain's outrageous remarks about his opposition to equal pay for women.

In April, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) skipped the vote on the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would have restored workers' ability to pursue pay discrimination claims in the courts, and provide protection for women receiving unfair wages. McCain explained his opposition to the bill by saying that instead of equal pay protection, women simply needed "education and training." A 14-year old girl knew better and questioned McCain about his absence and position on the bill to provide protection for equal pay. McCain responded, "I don't believe that this would do anything to help the rights of women."

McCain's Rubber Stamp for Bush on Display at OWN Stamporee at GOP Convention

By Robert - May 16th, 2008 at 1:03 pm EDT

OWN is hosting a Stamporee event outside the Wisconsin Republican Convention in Stevens Point on Friday, May 16 to demonstrate how when it comes to the failing policies of George W. Bush, Senator John McCain is actually McSame--a literal rubber stamp in his votes in the U.S. Senate.

During the event, an actor portraying Senator McCain will use a gigantic rubber stamp to give his personal seal of approval for Bush's problematic stances on continuation of the war on Iraq, Bush's attack on health care, among many others. As a U.S. Senator, McCain has continuously worked to promote and advance the Bush policy agenda. Senator McCain needs to hear how these policies have failed America and how being a rubber stamp for President Bush hurts Wisconsin residents.

Special guests will also include actors portraying George Bush, Cindy McCain and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, this year's GOP keynote speaker. Read More »
