Equal pay for equal work... but not in my office...
CNS News Reports: "While Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has vowed to make pay equity for women a top priority if elected president, an analysis of his Senate staff shows that women are outnumbered and out-paid by men.
That is in contrast to Republican presidential candidate John McCain's Senate office, where women, for the most part, out-rank and are paid more than men."

McCain responds to Obama campaign's attacks on his military record...
Sen. Obama's campaign has joined up with the attacks on Sen. McCain's military record. Gen. Clark should be ashamed, as Sen. Rockefeller and Sen. Harkin before him...
The McCain campaign is holding a conference call today to respond to these attacks, and is forming a "Truth Squad" to defend against this stuff.
Sadly, Sen. Obama has had multiple opportunities to make this campaign different, by debating one-on-one with Sen. McCain, and by negotiating one-on-one with Sen. McCain to keep this stuff out of the campaign with an agreement to disarm 527s and enter public financing. He's declined.
UPDATE: At a news conference in Harrisburg, Pa., McCain was asked about Clark's comments.
"I think that that kind of thing is unnecessary," McCain said. "I'm proud of my record of service, I have plenty of friends, leaders who will attest to that.
"The important thing is if that's the kind of campaign Senator Obama and his surrogates and supporters want to engage in, I understand that. But it doesn't reduce the price of gas by one penny. It doesn't achieve our energy independence or make it come any closer. Doesn't make any American stay in their home who's at risk of losing it today. And it certainly doesn't do anything to address the challenges Americans have in keeping their jobs, homes and supporting their families."

Left and elected Democrats hatred of the military shines through...
and their lust for power causes them to go past even the worst attacks of the "Swift Boat" veterans of 2004. There are seriously no principles that the left won't sell out in this campaign. When I read these statements, I can't help but think what these people believe about those currently serving in our military. These statements certainly don't "Support the Troops" serving, and don't reflect on a group that should command our military.
A sampling from the article linked above:
----------------------------
"Honestly, besides being tortured, what did McCain do to excel in the military?" - Americablog's John Aravosis.
---------------------------
West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller in April cut a bit closer, suggesting that McCain's days as a fighter pilot were themselves a critique of his character.
"What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground?" he asked. "He doesn't know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues."
---------------------------
I wouldn't characterize anybody who fought in Vietnam as a war hero," said Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the theatrical anti-war group Code Pink. "In 23 bombing sorties, there must have been civilians that were killed and there's no heroism to that."

Who is this new jack*ss??
A new columnist at the New York Times decides to beclown himself by making his first column about John McCain's age... if McCain created a "Fight the Smears" website (similar to Obama's site) it would have to start with the numerous New York Times rumormongering and hate language, and then it could Moveon.org down the list...
But, what has he done?
The Boston Globe provides the ugly details in Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy. No word if Sen. Obama's contributor and partner on the Obama family home purchase (and now felon) Tony Rezko was involved in this particular project...
