Hudson, Wis. / McCain to make appeal to women

Sen. John McCain will wrap up a week of campaigning on economic issues Friday at a forum for women only in Hudson.

[Jenny]

Isn't he happy with his own wife? 72 and still can't afford to retire? Or, is it GREED.

[Republican fascism]

McClone trying to appeal to women voters is like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appealing to the Israelis. McClone and the Republicans want to legislate or reduce women's rights and Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Birds of a fascist feather....

Liberals are always shocked to find a woman who votes republican...there are massive numbers of us out here-start paying attention. What women's rights are you referring to? I would bet a million dollars you will bring up the tired old abortion issue. Most women are pro-life and over 50% of the country is pro-life. What else ya got?

[Data driven]

Female Republican, you might want to recheck that polling data.

[McCain appeal to women]

How's OLD Johnny gonna accomplish that? Bring along Dole and his sack o' Viagra? Maybe that's why they're holding the event at "Erectors". Anyway, it'll go along with McSame's inflated rhetoric.

Let's ignore the anti-choice position and the avowed commitment to appoint more Clarence Thomas (His tussle with Anita Hill shows his respect for women)' and Sam Alitos (his anti-woman record sparked protests before appointment) to the court.

So, a guy who left his loyal wife for a woman 25 years younger and wealthier, thinks he's their answer versus a guy who raised by a single mom is still with with his original choice for a spouse?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You Republicans are actually becoming humorous.

Hey, enjoy the humor. We are still laughing at the Slick Willie years and wondered how the NOW folks were able to sleep at night. Perhaps they were sleeping with Slick Wille. He really did have a great deal of respect for women, all of them. And if Hillary becomes the next VP, it can start all over again. Yippee Skippee. You are really humorous.

Senator,
My black cat disappeared. I stand guard over them in a yard that is perhaps 25x25 for 10 minutes a night; while I was tending to one of them she disappeared. A few minutes later a red truck drove into the apt. garage next door---I looked under the house and found some yellow goggles, and by all appearances this was well planned. I also saw 2 FBI guys on the path where I ride today, big smirks on their facts, and I thought it was odd both because there aren't ever two mid 30s white male jock types walking in that neighborhood, and because I heard a subsequent report that the FBI had busted some of its own agents. I made some fingerprints in the bank today in an attempt to learn which government agency is holding the file on me and I think this cat disappearance is retaliatory. I've been standing outside over them for many months now, and they don't venture more than 30-40 feet away from me; my best guess is that someone microwaved her and frightened her. I'd like a TRO and I'd like help finding the cats, by anyone that's trustworthy, if there is any such person in the federal government.
I've had 2-3 inquiries lately about how many cats I have.

I had somewhat of the same problem with my pet cockroach. It would appear and disappear any time a black Cadillac SUV would drive by my trash bin. I was also receiving odd signals from the goverment sattelites as they passed over. I solved my problem by fashioning a three cornerd hat out of aluminum foil and wearing it constantly. And now I also receive Clear channel radio for free.

When people step into the voting box do you really think they are going to think Obama was raised by a single women or McCain got a divorce and married a wealthier women? Yeah I think I'll vote on this or something even less important! If the public didn't care about your Democratic presidential womenizing affairs then they are going to care less about your points!!

Great observation. Now if we could only get the media to look at this guy who has been a senator for only 143 days and qualifies for the democratic party's candidate to run the country. What's wrong with this picture?

[Bill]

Yeah, poor guy can't retire not enough money. Poor Mr. McCain - no hobbies - no interest - other than politics and money "GREED". But, at 72 his days will still be numbered. And, we will be rid of him.

[Wisconsin Grad]

Yswn, another weathy, old, white, out-of-touch man who wants to be president. I'm not taking.

[Wisconsin Grad]

Sorry, that's supposed to be "yawn". I guess I really was snoozing as I was thinking of McCain and what he has to offer!

[Red Ryder]

Speaking of polls, George Bush has gone from twice as popular as Congress to three times as popular as Congress.(His approval rating remains 28%)
The poll is from Rasmussen...9 per cent say good or
excellent, 52 per cent say poor. Many feel members
are only in their positions for their own career/
career advancement, not to help the people.

It's also Bush's fault that A-Rod fooled around because A-Rod played for the Rangers at one time and Bush owned part of the Rangers one time.

[Singin Sal]

I still say that if you sing the new John McCain Campaign Song available on www.myxertones.com that McCain will win the election! Give it a try!

That's a lot to be proud of. I guess if one sets the bar low enough one can be successful.

[Doubletalk McSame]

If it's not open to the public, it's not a town hall meeting. Why don't you reporters get it? You erroneously reported the last McCain closed-to-the-public meeting in St. Paul as a town hall meeting too. Thank god for blogs. Political reporting at daily newspapers sure doesn't exist anymore. They're merely stenographers for campaign press releases.

The focus is the woman voter for this pitch. Barack has the support of women focused organizations and 12 years, that's 4383 days of experience supporting legislative issues from being pro-choice to supporting health initiatives for women AND children.

Women are going to care that after 25 years of being in federal office McCain has not supported ONE piece of woman focused legislation, not even equal pay for equal work. NOTHING.

That's what women will think about when going into the booth.

Clinton got a pass because in the arena of his job- he was 100% on the issues, even if the women didn't want to marry him- which they did. McCain has been 100% wrong AND a cheating husband.

Guys like you will vote for him because you want to be him.

Post McCain's record
Obama Passed Equal Pay Act In Illinois To Give 330,000 More Women Protection From Pay Discrimination. Obama co-sponsored and voted for the Equal Pay Act which provided that no employer may discriminate between employees on the basis of sex by paying ages solely on the basis of the employee's gender. According to the AP, the "Illinois Equal Pay Act expands the federal Equal Pay Act of 1963 to give about 330,000 more women in the state protection from gender-based discrimination in pay" by applying the law to companies that employee 4 or more people, rather than the federal standard of fifteen. Obama attended the bill signing on Mother's Day of 2003.[93rd GA; SB 0002; 2003; Signed into law, 5/11/03, PA 93-0006; AP, 5/11/03; Chicago Tribune, 5/8/03; Chicago Tribune, 5/12/03]
Obama Passed A Law To Create The Victims Economic Security And Safety Act (VESSA), Which Would Help Victims Of Abuse Seek Treatment Without Losing Their Job. Obama was the chief sponsor and voted to created the Victims' Economic Security and Safety Act. The bill provided that an employee who is a victim of domestic or sexual violence, or who has a family or household member who is a victim of domestic or sexual violence whose interests are not adverse to the employee, may take leave from work to address domestic or sexual violence by: seeking medical attention for, or recovering from, physical or psychological injuries caused by domestic or sexual violence to the employee or the employee's family or household member; obtaining services from a victim services organization for the employee or the employee's family or household member; obtaining psychological or other counseling for the employee or the employee's family or household member; participating in safety planning, temporarily or permanently relocating, or taking other actions to increase the safety of the employee or the employee's family or household member from future domestic or sexual violence or ensure economic security; or seeking legal assistance or remedies to ensure the health and safety of the employee or the employee's family or household member, including preparing for or participating in any civil or criminal legal proceeding related to or derived from domestic or sexual violence. The Chicago Tribune reported, "But VESSA, as it is known, allows time off for personal issues not covered by the FMLA and is designed to help victims keep their jobs." Obama said he sponsored the bill after being approached by several advocacy group for battered women. "They came to me and indicated how difficult it is for victims of physical and sexual abuse to deal with the repercussions of an assault and then try to balance it with work and everything else."
