Mitt Romney is gutless

Yesterday, Rachel Maddow sent a question to Republican presidential Mitt Romney whether he would support the Paycheck Fairness Act which is up for a Senate vote. Now the Paycheck Fairness Act would force employers to justify why they would pay a woman less money than a man for the same work. His campaign would only say to Maddow, it supports pay equity for women but they would not answer the question.

You know why Romney won't answer this question. Because it's likely the Republican Party is against it. And if he's against it, he will sound anti-women. It's just gutless not to answer the question. It's the same cowardice that Romney demonstrates when he enables super rich guy Donald Trump on his racist birther fantasies.

Here's Rachel Maddow's piece. The Romney campaign's answer to Maddow's question is almost comical but ultimately pathetic. Also included is her interview with Lilly Ledbetter, the namesake for the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
