I only brought up McCain’s tax fu** up as an example of mud thrown by the other side, that, once McCain had taken steps to remed the situation, would still be flung by the Dems who would be never satisfied by his attempts to make things right.

So you’re slinging mud to demonstrate the tactic of mudslinging?

Would it be horribly un-PC for me to say “Bro’s before Ho’s”?

Oops..too late

RAAAACCCIIIISSSSTTTT!!!111!!

Now go wash your brain out with DKOS.

But again, once he corrects it, does he get a pass?
Or does this haunt him to his death on blogs like this who just can’t move on?

But hey – this is a rightie blog. No mercy for Obama – I understand that -I just thought there might be the slightest shred of objectivity.

Dave Rywall on June 30, 2008 at 12:53 PM

OK. Less snark. More objectivity.

If the sample was across the board, top to bottom then if BHO has more men in top level positions, yes, the results will be skewed.

Hell, Axelrod’s pay alone would be enough to taint the poll.
And the poll ended in Sept. ‘07 so maybe Solis-Doyle will balance the equation in the next poll.
Unless she’s working for free.

Or still working for The Glacier. (shhhh)

[I said less snark. Didn't say no snark.]

… Which positions are the women in vs the men? Are those positions in a lower pay scale?
Dave Rywall on June 30, 2008 at 12:08 PM

Apparently BHO tracks all women staff towards the positions on that low end.

(strictly speculation)

Dave Rywall on June 30, 2008 at 1:38 PM

That one has been debunked, nothing you can do about people who lie, or who propagate lies…like you.
Several points need to be made:
First, this was his wifes, by pre-nuptial, John has no say in his wifes finacial.
His wife is not running for office.
She did pay, it was in an escrow account, and the escrow account did not send it to the proper address of the lein holder.
And in case you didn’t know this, when you pay into an escrow account, you are not told exactly how the money is dispersed, let alone the address they are sending it to.
Most everyone reporting this has backed away, and many apologizing.
But you apparently are one of maybe two people who believe it to be true.
Just because someone tells a lie, you don’t have to believe it…or do you…

That’s pretty good. So good I have to wonder about you.(just kidding):)

a capella on June 30, 2008 at 11:58 AM

Try it, it really pisses you off after you do it. You realize how easy it is to fool the public when you have the MSM behind you.
Last week one of the regular posters didn’t catch my Obama sign off (she ask that I put it in italics from now on), she jumped all over me. Of course she blamed the italics and not her reading skills. But it shows how easy it is to write the excuse, after they attack or make a mistake.

Who cares. He’ll have them all on unemployment soon.

Texyank on June 30, 2008 at 11:25 AM

True dat!

a capella – I already said Obama fu**ed up big time on this and that he needs to remedy the situation fast. Can you not read?

Why should he remedy it if the salaries are justifiable for the job descriptions? If he has chosen to keep women at lower paid positions, isn’t that his right?

I only brought up McCain’s tax fu** up as an example of mud thrown by the other side, that, once McCain had taken steps to remed the situation, would still be flung by the Dems who would be never satisfied by his attempts to make things right.

Except you were wrong. It had nothing to do with McCain.

And besides none of you know whether or not McCain’s staff is bloated or not, how the pay is actually broken down, the levels of the jobs women have,
how the salaries of his staff compare to other senators’, etc etc. It’s just typical blogger outrage at half facts and speculation. Next.

Dave Rywall on June 30, 2008 at 3:09 PM

Absolutely. As mentioned above, if he chooses to keep women below a position ceiling which doesn’t justify higher wages, he should do that. He shouldn’t let public perception of his attitude towards women change his management policy. That’s real courage, and my hat is off to him if he stays the course.

The Chosen One’s taken a stand: At an event [last] week in New Mexico, Obama repeated the misleading claim that “women still earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men,” and dismissed the notion that factors other than……

In theory, but in practice he pays his male staffers more, Over 6K more. In contrast top Senator McCain who actually hires more women and pays them well. He also gets more done with fewer staffers. Amazing! Obama scolded McCain……

Duh – taking an average of all the staffers obviously doesn’t tell the whole story. Which positions are the women in vs the men? Are those positions in a lower pay scale?

Dave Rywall on June 30, 2008 at 12:08 PM

This is a good point, Dave. I assume this nuanced view of yours means you’re aware that the whole “equal pay” crusade is yet another dishonest scam propagated by liberals. Because when they scream about how women make 78% of what men make, the way they come up with that figure is to average the pay of all women and all men, without taking into consideration any of those factors you mention.
