Mother Jones - Comments for "Lilly Ledbetter: Obama's Newest Ad Star"

Say What..? where did *you* study Political Science? The Democrats, with a very slim majority, do *not* "control" the Senate. You are aware that the republican minority in this congress has used the filibuster, or the threat of a filibuster, more twice as much as *any* congress in history. The fact that this Congress has been tagged as "do nothing" (aside from being rather misleading) is largely due to the obstructionist republicans, using tactics that a few short years ago they were practically labeling as treason.

The bill didn't get enough votes to survive a filibuster; and McCain voted--with most of the Republicans-- against it. In any case, this ad tags McCain with his vote AND his condescending comments, just as it should.

Oh..., I see.
The Democrats who control the Congress did everything, absolutely everything they could to get this bill passed, and so are entirely blameless for the failure??
LMMFAO!

The Minority party has once again managed to outvote the Majority?

Did you study Political Science under MarthaA?

kirkbrew clearly understands why we refer to these people as DemoPublicans & RepubliCrats.
Some folks still enjoy the view as constrained by those seemingly permanently installed Partisan Blinders.

You people talk like there is a difference between parties. Take away abortion and gun control - they are identical.

The sooner people get that, the sooner we can do something of value - like term limits.

Say what...?

"So, a Congress controlled by Democrats doesn't pass this bill, and it's John McCain's fault?"

Well, it wasn't entirely McCain's fault--there are other Rep's that we can assign blame to also. However, in the ad, McCain is given well deserved credit for his sexist remarks about women.

Women who are working outside the home are often faced with "John McCain" sexist type remarks (mentioned in this ad)and are not easily deluded. This ad will resonate with women and it should.

Members of Congress introduced legislation named after Ledbetter to remedy the problem, then failed to pass it.

So, a Congress controlled by Democrats doesn't pass this bill, and it's John McCain's fault?

Only "The Faithful" could delude themselves enough to buy into a story like that.
