McCain The Misogynist

Watching TV yesterday and today, I saw the gasbags talking about how many former Hillary voters are considering voting for McCain because of the sexism in the campaign.

It's both laughable and shocking. As Hillary herself said, let's get real, folks. McCain is perhaps the most misogynist candidate since...hell, probably the 19th century. You worried about sexism? Let's look at McCain's record.

The LA Times:

Soon after the Gulf War in 1991, a group of military women pressed Congress to allow female pilots to fly combat missions. But a Vietnam War hero in the Senate, John McCain, pushed back hard.

"The purpose of the military is first to defend this nation's vital security interests throughout the globe and only second to ensure equality," the Arizona Republican argued on the Senate floor, framing the issue in a way that infuriated feminists....

Women's groups say he has a weak legislative record on such issues as equal pay and workplace discrimination, and his support has lagged among female voters.

As a lawmaker, critics say, McCain sometimes has had strained relations with women in power. Former Rep. Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo.), who spearheaded the effort to grant women the right to fly in combat, called McCain a product of a "guy culture."

"He has always had trouble dealing with women as equals," Schroeder said.

How about his record on Roe v. Wade?



John McCain has a consistent 0% record from NARAL, and his record on women's issues is abysmal.

You want to talk about sexism against Hillary Clinton? Look at how McCain laughs and says "excellent question" when a supporter refers to Hillary Clinton as a "bitch".



McCain doesn't admonish the women, he doesn't ask who she is referring to, he just thinks it is common knowledge that the "bitch" is Hillary Clinton.

And that's not all. McCain cheated on his first wife and ditched her because she put on some weight, he called his second wife a "cunt", he referred to Chelsea Clinton as the "ugly" bastard child of Janet Reno, and he has refused to return $300,000 from a Texan Republican who said women should lay back and "enjoy" rape.

And just today, while being grilled about his connection a scandal-plagued Nevada governor, McCain joked "And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago."
