Someone needs to ask Mitt why he opposed the Lilly Ledbetter act and not let him off the hook!

He is so blatantly anti-women, I can't fathom why any woman (other than his wife) - would vote for him.

I wonder how President Obama can weave that direct question (supposedly on foreign policy) into Mondays debate.

Governor, why do you oppose equal pay for women? Answer the question!!!

"Why don't you think women should be paid equal pay for equal work?" I'd love to hear ANYONE answer this. What possible answer could be given except that women aren't as good as men?
