McMorris Rodgers’ vote tells all

Sat., May 19, 2012

I watched Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ live interview on CNN with John King. She claimed that Republicans like her support “equal pay for equal work” for women and men doing the same job.

Unfortunately, she voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. Her hypocrisy in this matter is typical: say one thing and vote the exact opposite.

I hope she gets picked as Mitt Romney’s vice presidential nominee. Maybe we can get a straight-talking representative who is consistent and honest.
