John McCain perplexes me. Without trying to understand the motivation and mind of this powerhouse and (often inappropriately) vocal senator, his actions alone confuse me. Consider the following:
- John McCain voted against equal pay for women (his stated reason did not fly in the face of truth).
- He has said women who want better opportunities and equal pay just need better training and eduction (women already outrank men with the number of higher degrees held, better grades, and continuing education credits).
- He has a long track record of, and continues to, offer up sexist jokes and remarks and quips about women, the elderly, and minorities.
And yet...
- McCain selected Sarah Palin, a woman has his running mate (regardless of his reasons, he still has to work with her).
- McCain employs more women in his campaign than does Obama, and he pays them, on average better than men, and women working for McCain generally outrank the men.
Does John McCain confuse you too, when it comes to how he really views women? Share your comments (below) or tell us what you think in WIB's Forums.
