A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
I was glad that women’s issues such as equal pay (Lily Ledbetter) and Roe v. Wade came up during the last debate. Ellen Malcolm of Emily’s List has an interesting take on this over at HuffPo complete with numbers to back it up:
John McCain did nothing to draw them in at this last debate. Any hope he had of showing women he understands their lives went up in smoke when he called concerns about protecting a woman’s health “extreme” and dismissed the notion of equal pay for women as trial lawyer propaganda.
Comedian Katie Halper has also made a hilarious parody that takes a look inside the minds of the women behind John McCain. Can’t wait for the sequels – Gays for McCain and Blacks for McCain!
