Too heavy handed. I prefer to bully, harass, and intimidate young girls who attempt to go to school.

Don't want those girls getting any ideas.

I think my sense of Justice just finally gave way when I read that. Didn't even get mad.

Instead I just laughed.

How dare democrats kill a bill that creates legal avenues for anti-choicers to stop other people's abortions, in order to prevent a problem that doesn't exist.

Responded Becker campaign spokesman Barry Caro: I'd be fired - immediately and with cause - if I said stuff like this. Link

Both sides are equally bad.

These people disgust me... And it's not because of "ideological differences", either. These people are mean-spirited, closed-minded, ass backwards assholes. They want to drag this country back into the stone ages.

I have no problems with thoughtful, intelligent opinions even if I disagree with them strongly... But this (and the numerous other examples the GOP has provided in recent years) are nothing but ignorance and hatred.

Frankly, ignorance and hatred are all I've seen coming from the GOP recently. These people aren't "conservatives"... They're unhinged, radical regressivists.

The market would heal the disparity if we had more tax cuts and fewer regulations.

As one who opposes gender pay gap bills, I would like to say this nutjob's statement was evil and stupid.

/Employs thousands of women at 70% of manpay. No, actually no one does that in America.

They don't want anything. That's the problem. They're like little kids who are bored and yelling at your for not amusing them. When you take a figure head away from authoritarians they flounder. That's why we're seeing now. Soon one of them is going to cross the line and we'll have to take real action to bring this sorry era of our discourse to a close. Most likely with violence and police action.

I fought for stars to be born
But they did nothing for me
I made a fortune from nothing
But now it is lost

I broke the back of a job
And now my work is done
As I stand back to admire it
I realize something's wrong

They beat him and they cut off his head
And put the film on the Internet
Millions of fools watched him die
I've lost my faith in this race

Because the poison pen is coming
And it is writing wicked words
The poison pen will end a nation
So much mightier than the sword
So much mightier than the sword
So much mightier than the sword

But you can speak metaphorically when you're defending that idiotic Canadian law. Because that's the only way you can defend it. Because it's stupid.

... perhaps because they think, despite evidence, that women only do 70% of the work? It's a naive view to claim that employers are exclusively motivated by a single box on a spreadsheet, with no other opinions, interests, or thoughts.
