War on Women: DSCC Pays Women $.70 per $1.00 for Men

Once again, it looks like the Democrats are painting the Republicans as the bad guys when they are truly the ones making the mistakes. You know how they keep pretending like it’s the Republicans who are anti-women and have waged a war on women? Well it seems they are committing the crimes just as much!

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has been working to make the midterm election season a nightmare for Republicans across the country by blaming them for inequalities in pay between men and women. Many know the commonly touted statistic that women earn 77 cents on every dollar men make. Well according to a new analysis of salary information from the DSCC, the group only pays women 70 cents for every dollar men make.

Even with employing more women than men, many of whom are at top levels, the DSCC’s latest salary filings show that in the three months between September and November of last year males made an average of $18,576 while women made $13,044. There was one outlying bonus for the executive director, who was a male, and even by eliminating that bonus, women still only made 82 cents for every $1 for men.

There is no excuse for the democratic hypocrisy. Once again the Democrats are trying to play a “gotcha” game with the Republicans, but we aren’t going to take it. No longer can they preach that they are the party of women. Can’t we all just agree that neither party is anti-woman?

If inequalities truly exist, and I am sure there are still those instances, it is time for both parties to unite to protect employees. There is not just one party that supports equality for men and women.

Not a useful statistic unless compared with the equivalent GOP group.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the media to pick up on this. They already know that Rats are hypocrites are and approve.

But it is perfectly appropriate for what the Dems are stating. The Dems want an equal pay bill for all (not just the GOP).

In short, they are being hoisted by their own petard.

True, but if it turns out the GOP pays .60 on the dollar it boomerangs.

It doesn’t boomerang at all. The GOP isn’t saying it pays women equally. The DNC claims any entity that cares about women pays them the same and that a law should force that, otherwise.

If the DNC can’t do it, itself, what leg do they have to stand on?

Doesn’t matter. It’s the Dems who are making the rule. It’s not in the GOP’s book of rules.

Alinsky’s fourth rule for radicals: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.

A perfect example right here of Democrats, and “PROJECTION”.

Anything a Democrat instructs about someone else..., any accusation by a Democrat is telling of themselves. They are what they accuse others of.

It’s guaranteed.

They will use the same thing that businesses are saying. Well we have a lot of women working the phones, filing and typing so it is a false number.

On average, regardless of the distribution of jobs performed, skill set, or experience.

And the DNC says that companies can't use that defense.

That's why they are hypocrites.

And this whole issue is just democrats running away from ObamaCare. Then advising the Republicans not to run on that issue.

Same tact as with Cowdy Crowley's presidential debate question to Mitt Romney, “Why would you deny women birth control?”

The DNC will set the lies with the press to convince the stoopid voter of Republican malfeasance.

“A lie will make its way half way around the world before the truth gets across the street.” That is why Obama and Hillary travel so extensively.
