Laugh at Liberals

EQUAL PAY AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO

One of the things that frustrates conservatives like me to no end is the hypocrisy of liberals. Al Gore with his huge electric bills, jets, SUV’s and 100 foot house boat lecturing on the importance of being green. Feminist preaching equality for women and railing against conservative women who achieve it.

And now comes the issue of equal pay for women. Of the current candidates for president and vice president, how do they measure up in this oh so important area of equal rights.

Recently at National Review Online, Deroy Murdock explored the gap between the rhetoric on pay equity and the reality of how Obama, Biden and McCain treat the women who work for them. Since Palin is a woman and has the highest pay grade in her office we’ll leave her aside

What did the he discover?
“He (Obama) does not practice what he preaches…it turns out that his running mate, Joe Biden is even worse. said Murdock.

Here is more from the article.

“Based on calculations using Senate pay records posted by LegiStorm.com, a political-transparency organization, between Oct. 1, 2007, and March 31, 2008, Obama’s 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Obama’s average male employee earned $54,397 on an annualized basis. “Obama’s 30 female asplit $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average.”Among Obama’s top five highest-paid – and likely most senior – employees, one was female. Among his top 20, seven were women. “All told, for every dollar that Obama paid his average male staffer, his female counterpart made just 83 cents.

“As for Biden, his 14 male staffers split a total payroll outlay of $1,077,128.40. So, Biden’s average male employee earned $76,937.74 per annum. Biden’s 27 female employees divided $1,517,874.47, or $56,217.57, on average. Among Biden’s top five highest-paid aides, one was a woman. Among the top 20, 11 were women. All told, for every dollar that Biden paid his average male staffer, his female equivalent made only 73 cents.”

Women in Sen. John McCain’s Senate office make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes, the columnist said.

Obama and Biden pay women less than their male counterparts and McCain pays them more.
What say ye, liberals?
