Well….just getting ready to go out and shoot pool but thought I’d get this short one done before since I know I won’t do it when I get back…I am still amazed that any woman still votes for the idiot repubs, with them taking away their right to control their own bodies and now it being revealed they just don’t give a damn about equal wages, either. Just today we had many repubs come out and comment on the various fair pay acts that have been blocked by the repubs both on a federal level, and in many states…saying that they are not necessary and “let the market fix the problem..if there is a problem”…I wonder where the hell these guys have been for the past 50 years? Isn’t that long enough to let the market try to correct the fact that women make 60-70 cents on the dollar compared to men who do the same jobs? This is an issue that needs legislative remedy since the market has proven that it won’t address this problem…and women need to do their part by not voting repub anymore…geez….

The republican “war on women” continues in Wisconsin…
Well…are these repubs great liars or what? On the day that ole Mitt comes out and says that it is Obama and dem economic policies that are hurting women, we have our old buddy Scott Walker in Wisconsin signing the repeal of a law that made it easier for women there to hold employers accountable for wage discrimination. This was not a law that intruded on the “rights” of corporations to do whatever they want, but it was a law that tried to rectify an insidious result of discrimination against women that had been proven time and again…that women performing the same job with the same qualifications were usually paid from 20 to 30% less than the men doing the job…something that is just wrong no matter how the repubs try to explain it away in terms that further demean women…like “women leave the workforce to have babies so they have lesser skills than men” never mind that 40% plus of the women in the workforce never leave it to have children. Nonsense, all, but this is the type of policy that ole Mitt has said he supports when he says that he supports Walker and his agenda “completely”….just another example of what the US will look like if these idiots take control…geez…
