John McCain's against discrimination against women in the workplace, he just wants to make sure that the victims have no legal remedy when they're discriminated against.

What do expect from a guy who calls his wife a "trollop" in front of a bunch of people?
He's an angry old man. Back in his day, the womens knew their place: baking pies to be thrown at "liberal" bloviating asshats giving talks to elite private colleges. or something like that...
Okay, the fact that this thread has only two responses kills me.
Can you imagine if this were reported with a Democratic nominee selected?
Somebody, somewhere, make some hay with this please! We don't even have to take him out of context. What a gift.
This is the kind of thing that I hope disenchanted Clinton supporters would remember should Obama (as expected) win the nomination.
over at the carpetbagger, commenter tr pushes back on the idea that the war on poverty was a failure;
"TR said:
He acts like the War on Poverty was a failure. But the census data proves that the War on Poverty actually did a great deal to lift large numbers of Americans out of poverty.
In the six years between the start of the War on Poverty and the time Lyndon Johnson left office, poverty rates in America underwent their sharpest decline in the postwar era. In 1964, 17.4% of Americans lived in poverty, while in 1969, just 10.4% would.
And if you look at the census data for two groups targeted by the administration, African Americans and Southerners, the impact is even more apparent. Poverty rates in the South were cut in half over the course of the 1960s, falling from 35% to 17%, while poverty rates for blacks across the nation fell from 54% to 30% during the decade.

on a different note, i have no idea why mccain thinks that more lawsuits are a bigger problem than more discrimination.
he thinks that education and training are the answers, but i want to know where is the money for community colleges in rural kentucky coming from. and if most of the area's jobs are in mining, what exactly will we be training woman to do?
If you are against torture, and yet want to deny any mechanism for enforcing legal prohibitions on it, then doesn't it follow that you might endorse the same principle for lesser problems, like employment discrimination?

McCain keeps a jar of misogyny in the 'fridge to spread on his morning toast.
