I didn't lose at all much less "Big." What an utterly absurd assessment of how you lost. You didn't refute a word I said. There is no defense of a study strategy of comparing average salaries. None whatsoever. quote: And there's no justification for O'Bomber running a White House that's a hostile workplace for women in his administration. None whatsoever...and especially after all the crowing the Marxist clown has done and is doing about how wonderful he is for women.
He's not. I illustrated that in my last post. This willful ignorance towards reality is disconcerting to say the least. quote: You'd know that if you didn't have your head so far up your butt you can't see daylight.

No, a sheep is someone who follows the crowd, any crowd. In this case, it is the people making a big deal about "binders"That is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard. To me, only a sheep would jump on that bandwagon. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

You can mistakenly call the US system of government a democracy if you wish mercuranian.But, the US is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy and that republican form of government is guaranteed to the states by the US Constitution. Acoustic, you have an unbroken string of losing debates. Your consistency is uncanny. Of course anyone wanting to find out if O'Bomber..or anyone else pays women more or less than what they pay men would use "Average Salaries". Averaging is a great technique for comparing women and men's salaries across a broad range of jobs. Now if you're trying to make the point that O'Bomber pays men more because he hires mem for the high paying plum jobs and holds women down by hiring women for the lower paying drudge work jobs, then acoustic you go right ahead. But that's an even worse problem for O'Bomber, if true. What is true is that O'Bomber pays women less than men and has a pattern of doing so. Let's go right to the sources who know what it's like for women to work for O'Bomber; shall we? Anita Dunn, O'Bomber's former White House Communications Director: The White House is the legal definition of a HOSTILE WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT FOR WOMEN Christine Romer, Head of O'Bomber's Council of Economic Advisers: I FELT LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT So acoustic, you lose again. Maybe one day you'll learn to pick your battles more carefully. Ummm, on the issue of "binders", you usual suspects don't know it because you don't get out much but MOST Americans are laughing at O'Bomber and his brain dead crew for even trying to make a political issue out of this. But desperate people do crazy things and O'Bomber is trying to revive the "war on women" narrative because even women are deserting him in droves. In fact, a recent poll found women likely voters are about equally divided between Romney and O'Bomber. That's a hell of a drop in support among women for O'Bomber. "The USA TODAY findings are consistent with a nationwide Pew Research Center Poll taken after the first presidential debate and released last week. Obama's 18-point lead among women in mid-September evaporated in Pew's October survey, showing him tied 47%-47% with Romney among female likely voters." And in the swing states, women likely voters will probably decide the election for Romney. In the swing states, the power of women A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of the Swing States shows Mitt Romney with a lead among likely voters as he strengthens his standing with women in the nation's top battlegrounds. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2012/10/15/swing-states-poll-women-voters-romney-obama/1634791/ Which all leads to the fact that O'Bomber's manufactured lies about Romney's war on women didn't work. And trying to reignite it with bullshiiit like "binders" is simply laughable.

Don't be silly, Ami. This is a bunch of Malarky, if you know what I mean.Jwhop, there literally is no way for you to win a debate on gender pay in the White House. I've already explained it to you in the most logical way possible: Three Men: Department head makes $80k/year Manager makes $60k/year Underling makes $40k/year Four Women: Manager makes (same as above) 60k/year Underling makes (same as above) $40k/year Underling makes (same as above) $40k/year Underling makes (same as above) $40k/year The men make a total of $180k combined. The women also make a total of $180k combined. However, because the men's total is only divided amongst three men the median salary for the males is $60k/year. Meanwhile, the women's $180k is divided by four women, giving a mean salary of $45k/year. More women making exactly the same pay as their male counterparts, and yet their "mean annual salary" is less. This remains true if you drop the male department head down to management-level pay, too. Simply by virtue of there being less men. (So, no, Jwhop, it's not contingent upon there being more men in higher paying offices. Nice try at spinning. ) Reposting out-of-context quotes from White House staffers doesn't work either. I've already refuted that one in this very thread. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/frict ion-over-womens-role-in-obama-white-house-was-intense/2011/09/19/gIQA9OUygK_story.html There's simply no way to come out on top by acting like an idiot. Claiming that a better average pay for men is equivalent to a side-by-side review of men and women in the same positions is ludicrous. It's mistaken on the most obvious level to anyone with an ounce of logic. IP: Logged |

With regard to "binders," I can't help but notice just how upset the Conservatives here seem to be about it. I can't help but notice how much they're attempting to minimize it. It's almost as if Mitt Romney said, "Lock box," or something. IP: Logged |

everyone seems to be ignoring the most interesting "poll" of all...early voters, much in favour of obama from what i've heard so far. it's only over when it's over. if i were obama i would be personally relieved if romney won. that 6th house sun (as opposed to romney's 10th house boss complex) says it all about different goals. interesting they both have POF in 10th though!!

Where did your numbers come from acoustic. Did you make them up or pull them straight out of your butt? I don't see any attribution for your numbers acoustic. Who says men or women dept managers make $60K working in the White House....hmmm acoustic, who says?In fact, where did any of your numbers come from acoustic. Who says, acoustic. What's your source for those numbers acoustic? Hmmm? Anita Dunn and Christine Romer said what they said. I don't give a rat's ass that the Washington Post...or you...are trying to cover O'Bomber's ass for running a "Hostile Workplace Environment for Women" in the White House. But what's this? MSNBC, the failing cable news network trying to carry the water for O'Bomber's failing presidency and failing campaign pays women up to 14 times less than men doing the same job. Hahaha, and this is the same news network...in name only..which is trying to revive O'Bomber's failed "war on women" narrative too. Talk about hypocrisy! But that's leftists for you. Can't trust a thing they say. Nothing! MSNBC Host 'Lucky' to Get Paid Half as Much as Her Male Co-Host 12:10 PM, Oct 19, 2012 DANIEL HALPER This morning, as MSNBC's Morning Joe came to an end, co-host Mika Brzezinski had some praise for colleagues and the company she works for. "We've been talking a lot this week about women and equal pay and all these issues," she said. "I have to say, in all seriousness, I'm very lucky to be working with you [co-host Joe Scarborough] and for a company [MSNBC] who has actually dealt with this problem transparently." Which basically amounts to Brzezinski saying that she is "lucky" to get paid half as much as Joe Scarborough. After all, according to the Daily Beast (whose editor, Tina Brown, is a frequent guest on the show), Scarborough makes a cool $4 million per year, while Brzezinski's salary is half as much, coming in at $2 million per year. Brzezinski's colleague Andrea Mitchell made this point on air yesterday--that pay disparity exists at MSNBC. Politico reports: During an interview Thursday, Mitt Romney senior adviser Barbara Comstock told Andrea Mitchell that “we know here at MSNBC the guys get paid more" — and the MSNBC host replied, “We certainly do.” For Brzezinski's part, it's more than a bit odd that she would play down the problems at MSNBC now. After all, her public dispute with MSNBC about pay equity has been well known. In fact, she's made it herself on her own show. "We make less than our male counterparts," said Brzezinski last year. "I found out on this show that I made a lot less than Joe. 14 times less." And while he was coming from primetime and he was worth a lot more, he's also the creator of the show, I was certainly not 14 times less worth than him. And it was my fault ultimately that I was in that position because I accepted a deal that wasn't right for me. And I didn't have the perception and confidence in myself to communicate that effectively. It took four tries with MSNBC president Phil Griffin who is, you know, a tough manager but doing the right thing for his company to get it right for myself. Brzezinski says she almost left MSNBC over the pay disparity problem. And she wrote a book about overcoming gender discrimination in the workplace (though, again, she still reportedly makes half as much as her male counterpart). But in an election year, perhaps playing down pay disparity at a liberal institution by extension makes liberal politicians look better. And Brzezinski's preference for Obama is beyond well established. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/msnbc-host-lucky-get-paid-half-much-her-male-co-host_654987.html IP: Logged |

That's a stupid question, Jwhop. The issue isn't the numbers I used. The issue is whether averaging salaries between genders equates to a side-by-side comparison of pay between two genders doing the same job. Averaging very clearly isn't the same. quote: Anita Dunn and Christine Romer said what they said. I don't give a rat's ass that the Washington Post...or you...are trying to cover O'Bomber's ass for running a "Hostile Workplace Environment for Women" in the White House.
That article cites what they said in context, and includes what Obama DID to address the situation. You're propping up ONE side of the story as if that is all there is to be told. IP: Logged |

It was just bad. I don't know how it caught the wind that it did but it was seriously toeing the line of profiling.He tried making a point (which sounde like comeplete b.s.) by stressing that he wanted women... Does that mean he's gender profiling? He said himself that those men were qualified but instead, he opted for finding women... The question was about equal pay, not about hiring as women as opposed to men. He might've just as well said that he opted out for hiring "babes", instead. IP: Logged |
