Interesting Facts of Obama & McCain; Equal Pay Controversy

http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2008-08-28/article/30971?headline=Hillary-Die-Hards-Oppose-Equal-Pay-for-Women

I find this to be quite an interesting piece of writing-especially after reading the article that I just posted before this one. I really don't understand how candidates and those leading our country can be so freaking two-faced. McCain, according to the post before his, pays the women in his office substantially more. But, when faced with a bill to help women and protect against workplace discrimination, runs the opposite way it seems. Obama called off his campaign for a time to go back to Washington to back a bill to help end workplace discrimination for women. Unfortunately the bill did not pass and no progress was made. It is so funny to see how you can get so mixed up in who to support when you read conflicting pieces of information on one subject; let alone a multitude of issues!! I only have one question: Why can't politicians be PEOPLE?? Wait, let's rephrase that: Why can't politicians be NORMAL PEOPLE who believe one thing and stick with it despite what happens to them and how it will effect their popularity? What the American people want is someone who is true and honest in all aspects of the meaning. Not someone who says one thing and does another. Actions definitely speak louder than words...
