He said the pay gap between men and women isn't due to discrimination. Women just need more "education and training." Tell Senator McCain to quit making sexist
statements and stop blocking a vote on fair pay for women. 

10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):

1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King,
 Jr.  Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.¹

2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."²

3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban water-boarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.³
 

4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."⁴
 

5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children.
 He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.⁵

6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he
 and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is
for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.⁶

7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief.
One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine.
He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."⁷

8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers
are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists
raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.⁸

9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years.
The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission
 is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing
preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the
Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."⁹

10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League
 of Conservation Voters last year.¹⁰
