It's amazing the people who call themselves journalists today.

Obama wins, to quote "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Romney just chose Ryan, so this election will prove if women are truly dumb and subjugated or not. If you believe in equal pay for a woman (which I do) doing the same exact fucking job you are doing, you would vote Obama. (not that I agree on him being president, i think Mark Warner of Va, the epitome of "CENTER," should have been appointed the job years ago: He declined). If you would like a return to the "good ol' days" of women in the kitchen/household/pregnant you would vote Romney. If you disagree with my statement, why have Republican dominated legislatures voted down/removed "equal pay" laws? Just curious as to what the defense is for women getting paid less than men. I just don't get it.

I'm not quite sure where your perception that equally qualified women are not paid the same compensation as equally qualified men. In my experience, most initial compensation packages are based on a pre determined formula which takes only experience and education into account; not gender. From there, it all depends on negotiation skills.

If Obama does get elected again, pay won't really make a difference for those of us that actually work for our money. He will simply continue taking money from those of us that produce and redistribute it to those who do not in the form of entitlement programs.

Oh, and if you prefer a Nanny State approach, Obama is certainly your guy! For those of us that actually prefer freedom and believe in limited government as it was intended, then ABO (anybody but Obama) is the way to go.

DISCLAIMER! This post was typed up on my mobile phone so don't be a petty ass and try to grill me on any possible spelling errors! TY!

If I'm dumb, explain why. List some solid facts and articulate your position with some intelligence. Don't simply spout off names like a little kid then run off tucking your tail. That's why I really despise trying to have any sort of conversation with folks like yourself. You immediately resort to name calling like a child in a tantrum because an individual doesn't share your views.

Provide some facts. Show me how I'm dumb.. I really wanna see whatcha got Mr. I'm smarter than everyone who doesn't share my position. I'm not gonna hold my breath though lol

........ Waiting for the next round of name calling tantrums... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shadius you should know better than to expect anything different. Obama's whole re-election campaign follows the same strategy. The Dems can't talk about what they've done and why they should be re-elected they just resort to blatant lies, smear and slander. Lol they haven't passed a budget in over 3 YEARS which is there primary legislating job. ANYBODY ELSE 2012!!!

Equal pay for equal work sounds like a noble goal, until you understand some basic economics.

Labor is one of the largest expenses in almost any industry. If there really was a large wage gap between men and women, any good capitalist would exploit such a difference and hire only female workers. This person would be able to run their competition out of business and we would see all these giant female only corporations. We don't see that though. So either every single businessman (and businesswoman, since many companies are owned/run by women) is a sexist pig and wants to pay men more than women for the same work, or there isn't the giant wage gap that people claim.

Now, what will be the effects of Obama's equal pay for equal work law? This bill directly increases the cost to hire a woman, since the risk of a future lawsuit must now be figured in. This will lead to women either receiving less compensation, or to them not getting the job at all. Look at it from the employer's point of view. If they have 2 equally qualified applicants, one man and one woman, both of whom are demanding the exact same wage, but the woman could possibly file a lawsuit in the future based on this law, they will naturally choose the less risky hire, and take the man. So while this bill was passed with good intentions, it is going to have the exact opposite effect.

Are you really going to vote for someone who is stupid enough to promote laws that hurt certain groups like this?
